Spanish term

firma (in this context)

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing Cosmetics
I don't understand the use of "firma" here......

This is a market research on cosmetics/hair products and the context is :

Convivencia ambos:
¿consideráis que pueden convivir estas dos líneas visuales/ de comunicación para cada marca?
¿qué elementos visuales, códigos de colores, etc nos ayudan a diferenciarlos?
Si estuvieran ambas en una tienda, ¿qué papel cumpliría cada una?, ¿habría alguna que pudiese considerarse premium / de prestigio / firma?

Thank you for any help.

signature

Literal translation works well here.

firma is clearly being used to refer to a "signature" - something utterly exclusive, individualistic and identifiable - and not to a mere company (firma) hiding behind a "brand".

Note from asker:
Something exclusive perhaps Robin?
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : Exactly. The asker appears to not know this. "The Whopper was an instant success and it became the company's signature product. "

top brand

I think 'firma' refers to a well-known brand, rather than just an ordinary make.

Choosing the right shampoo can seem like a daunting task with so many options, but it's all a matter of finding the top shampoo names for your specific needs. Shampoo brands for color-treated hair are also included.

No todo el mundo puede salir en la lista Forbes, sin embargo en 2010 ésta reportó que la compañía había obtenido 100 millones de dólares en tan sólo dos años en el mercado. Con un precio que ronda los 30 dólares la botella, esta firma ofrece cinco productos en uno: champú, acondicionador regular, acondicionador profundo, crema para desenredar y mascarilla. Se trata de un champú que no es champú y entre sus ingredientes encontramos aceite de almendra dulce, extracto de camomila, glicerina, mentol, notas cítricas, sábila, etc.
