I've been working as an intern at a bb for a month but I've found a better internship that involved actually modeling and working with live deals. Does it look bad if I was only there for a month and then moved onto my new one. I still want the brand name on my resume though

No. Leave. The brand name means absolutely nothing if you don't learn anything
I know I should leave, but how does it look if I was only there for a month? Should I still keep it on my resume?
The trick to a month long internship is to start mid-month and then end mid-next month. In this way, that one-month internship becomes a two month internship on the resume and it looks fine.
For example:
Don't do an internship from October 2nd to October 29th, because on a resume, that appears as: "October 2010"
Instead, start October 10th and end November 8th, on a resume that's: "October 2010 - November 2010"
I really don't think it's a big deal at all. Just be sure to articulate our point that the experience was not what you are looking for and a better opportunity came around that you couldn't pass up. Anyone interviewing you for a ft role would understand.
I don't think its a problem if you switch over. They're gonna ask you what you did before the most recent internship so you might as well list both.
