A combination of branding and bland. Used to indicate corporate homogenization. Can also apply to corporate interference in the arts, as in the case of Starbucks forming a music label
When a company takes all the flavor out of something and replaces it with their boring logo. Like when a music label starts sounding like a coffee shop.
Starbucks made a song that sounds like a coffee commercial.
My art class turned into a branding seminar.
The new soda tastes like a corporate meeting.
