The use of a determiner

Could any teachers tell me why the underlined expressions are used with or without the definite article?

Thank you, Soup. Your answers are always exhaustive and helpful.
By the way, where is your icon? I mean the "Campell Soup". It is amusing. How can you do that?

Ah, one more thing comes to my mind. Could I say "the KMB Leisure" or "the KMB Business", as the site visitor knows what the two buttons(to be accurate, the menu pulldown bars) are(as he or she can see them on the webpage) ?

KMB Leisure (the leisure isn't grammatical)
KMB Business (the business is grammatical, but why add the? Be consistent; moreover, why not save space?
