Brand Name in Category View

Hi

It is excellent thread. I have add the code below to functions.php and it does place Brand name between picture box and product tile in category/catalog view.

The issue is that the Brand name font / color /stile is the same as product title and it has link to Brands page, so it is very easy for a user to click the brand link to jump away on to brands page.
1. How can I change the font stile / color for a brand in category view?
2. Can I remove the actual link from the brand name in the category view so the brand become just a text label?

The Code I used:

/*** Brands in Catalog**/
function pwb_show_brands_in_loop(){
global $product;
$product_id = $product->id;
$product_brands = wp_get_post_terms($product_id, ‘pwb-brand’);
if(!empty($product_brands)){
echo ‘<div class=”custom-loop-brands”>’;
foreach ($product_brands as $brand) {
echo ‘term_id).'”>’.$brand->name.’‘;
}
echo ‘</div>’;
}
}
add_action(‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title’, ‘pwb_show_brands_in_loop’,1);
