Brand Identity

What is Brand Identity?

Brand identity is the set of elements a company creates to present itself and be recognized: its name, logo, colors, typography, imagery, tone of voice and messaging. It is how the brand chooses to look and sound, as opposed to brand image, which is how people actually see it.

Elements of brand identity

  • Name and logo, including its variations
  • Color palette and typography
  • Imagery: photo style, illustrations and icons
  • Tone of voice: how the brand writes and speaks
  • Messaging: tagline, value proposition and key messages

Building a strong brand identity

  1. Start from strategy: your audience, positioning and personality.
  2. Design the visual and verbal elements to express it.
  3. Document everything in a brand book or brand guidelines.
  4. Apply it consistently on the website, social media, ads, documents and in customer service.

Why consistency matters

A consistent identity makes a brand easier to recognize and remember, which makes every piece of marketing more effective and builds trust over time.
