The meaning is directly compositional: to mark something with a brand, logo, or trademark.

Etymology

The word brandmark comes from two simple words: brand, which once meant 'to burn' because farmers used a hot iron to burn a sign on animals, and mark, meaning 'sign'. So to brandmark a product today is to put a company's name or logo on it as a sign of where it comes from.
