Refreshing Your Brand Strategy and Marketing Collateral:
Branding, identity and logo design:
What’s the difference?
In the world of design, terms like branding, brand identity, logo design, corporate identity, and brand strategy can often be thrown around, creating confusion for non-designers. Different terms might seem interchangeable, and sometimes the same term is used to mean different things. It can be a bit overwhelming!
My goal is to cut through the confusion and be crystal clear about what I offer. I want you to understand the emotional essence of your brand, the visual representation through identity design, and the simplified identifier in the form of a logo.
Branding is like giving your business a unique personality and appearance. It's the sum of everything your company represents—its values, messaging, and visual style. Think of it as your business's distinct fingerprint, making it easily recognisable and memorable.
What is a brand?
The perceived emotional corporate image as a whole.
Identity design is about creating the visual elements that represent your brand consistently. This includes the colours, fonts, and imagery that make up your brand's visual language. It's like crafting a wardrobe for your business, ensuring it looks cohesive and stylish across various platforms.
What is an identity?
The visual aspects that form part of the overall brand.
Your logo is the face of your brand. It's the visual symbol that people associate with your business. Imagine it as your business's signature—simple, memorable, and instantly recognisable. A well-designed logo is a powerful tool that communicates your brand at a glance.
What is a logo?
A logo identifies a business in its simplest form via a mark or icon.
Spanning across diverse industries such as Media, Marketing, Construction, Finance, Consulting, and more, I bring tailored design solutions crafted specifically for small to mid-sized businesses. As a passionate design enthusiast, I thrive on embracing new challenges, treating each project as a unique opportunity to create something exceptional. With a keen understanding of the intricacies within various sectors, my goal is to not just meet but exceed your expectations, ensuring that your brand not only fits seamlessly into its industry but stands out vibrantly within it.
