Brand Identity
An introduction to brand identity and what it means to your business

Brand identity is the visual expression of a brand. It's everything from your logo to your business card and letterhead to your website.

In fact, brand identity includes:

  • Logo/Marks
  • Stationery
  • Brochures
  • Packaging
  • Website
  • Signage
  • Livery (fleet)
  • Uniforms

Your company's brand identity should be unique to your organisation. Just like your logo, it reflects your business goals, products/services, vision and personality.

And this is where designers face significant challenges. In a market saturated with identities, it can be tough creating a brand identity that not only reflects your organisation, but builds business awareness and helps you sell more of your products and/or services.

Your brand identity should:

  • Reflect your company personality/values
  • Generate trust and credibility
  • Differentiate your business (product/service) from others
  • Enable effective, efficient marketing across diverse channels
  • Add value to your organisation

Effective brand identity evolves over time. Consequently, it's worth re-evaluating the relevancy of your identity once every couple of years.
