Corporate Identity and Brand Design

identity

Logo, Typeface, Colour Scheme, Brand Values & Positioning Statements, Letterhead, Business Card, Corporate Collateral, Forms, Signs, Livery.

What you say and how you say it has a dramatic effect on what people expect from you. Identity sets expectations for you to build on. If you live up to the expectation you will confirm their beliefs, reinforcing your brand. Your image sets the stage for your reputation.

Identity is for you, your staff, and your clients.

From the first sight of the logo to the business card, delivery van, the voice on the phone, the well designed form. Every contact is a chance to create a good or bad impression – to build your reputation.

Just as important as the impression it makes outside the organisation is the effect it has on the people inside the organisation. Quality breeds pride and confidence, making it easier for people to do their best. The cycle feeds into itself attracting better people breeding more confidence.

Having good people is vital to a team. Every staff member is an ambassador for the business.

Corporate identity or brand?

Corporate Identity

Your logo developed into company style. Nearly every company wants to look organised and this is the place to start. When large advertising budgets are not part of the plan for the company it is important to invest more in the logo design so it clearly articulates the company’s purpose. Without advertising it is going to have to do the heavy lifting itself. 

Brand

Creating a brand goes beyond a logo. Your brand is your reputation. Designing a brand breaks down into four main areas;

  • Brand Values: what you stand for,
  • Brand Positioning (where it fits in the market),
  • Brand Strategy (how we give it meaning and direct it over time.)
  • Brand Design (what it looks like).
Brand design is most suited to situations where advertising features heavily in the vision.

Logo Design

The cornerstone to your identity. 
  • Emblems and symbols and custom typography for your business.
  • Color schemes and pattern design to extend the impact.
  • Industrial strength graphics that can be set in concrete, cut out of steel or stamped into chocolate. 
  • Artwork at the ready for any surprise opportunity.

Brand Management

Directing your brand to mean the same thing inside and outside your organisation. Navigate through an ocean of mis-interpretation.
  • This is long term brand asset development involving the coordination of the corporate culture and the public presentation.
  • Research involves discussion groups and surveys to reveal the underside of public attitudes that need addressing.
  • Manage the reputation of your company from inside and out.

Brand Design

By beginning with the pure concept everything falls into line including the name and the graphic.  
  • Defining behaviours and associations beyond the product.
  • Designing graphics which support the brand vision.
  • Designing methods of communicating the brand that go beyond the graphics.

Corporate Identity Style Guide

A manual of instructions for uniform roll out.
  • Documented corporate colours across print and electronic media
  • Details of what the logo is and guidelines for its correct use
  • The ideal companion for the Logo Kit

Corporate Identity Design

The full suit your company wears. A flexible graphic style for all occasions. 
  • Strategies for large scale identity application.
  • Methods for application outside of the visual senses.
  • Corporate colours that define your space.
  • Typeface selection to carry your message with your own airs and graces.
  • Positioning statement to make the obvious obvious.

 

Brand Values Statement

What do you stand for? This is where you spell it out loud and clear.
  • The guiding set of core beliefs that is central to everything your brand undertakes.
  • A checklist against which all activities can be evaluated.
  • A reference guide for every key player in your company structure be it marketing, product development, recruitment, management or delivery.

Who do you have you out gun?

Your brand is an integrated part of your business plan. It must resonate with the identified market position. 
  • Positioning sets the agenda for people's expectations of an organisation.
  • Building the brand to create position is a process of continuous, constant, homogeneous promotion across all media. 
  • All elements promoting the brand must relate to the same brand concept to develop the image.
