Why would you use Brand Designer?

Posted on January 17th, 2008 by Adam in Branding

Brand design involves much more than producing attractive images or just graphic design. It is also about effective communication techniques. A good brand designer will help you get your business message across to your customers in ways that are more subtle, and therefore more efficient, than text alone.
 
Skilled brand designers will understand about marketing, customer psychology and the corresponding effects on these of combinations of colour, imagery and text. For example, a cartoon logo may be perfect if your business provides products or services for children, but that kind of image might not suit a more ’serious’ business such as one providing independent financial advice.

Choosing the right brand designer is a critical business choice

A brand (or graphic) designer creates brand logos and other imagery for use on business stationery, promotional literature, signage and websites. Your leaflets, advertisements and stationery provide an important representation of your corporate image to customers, so it is important to have these designed professionally.

Well-designed marketing materials and stationery can convey the impression of a dynamic, successful and trustworthy business, while badly designed literature can say exactly the opposite.

Choosing a brand designer who is right for your business is a critical decision, so make sure you Make the right choice!

What is a brand?

Posted on January 9th, 2008 by Adam in Branding

A Brand is a series of perceptions in the minds of consumers
A brand or corporate identity is the cornerstone of virtually every business, or at least it should be. It should express the companies’ values and what it stands for. Or put in simple terms. It needs to look great.

Brand Development
The development of a brand is a key area of design management, dealing with the preservation of your companys most important values. Strong, established brands have often achieved a state of harmony between the actual product or service being offered (Brand identity), the customers experience with that product or service (Brand image), and the wider public perception of the company and/or brand (brand profile). Any further brand development must allow for the need to maintaining control over the image and profile in particular.

Your brand is your most valuable asset!
Without a strong brand and consistent brand strategy and identity, you risk becoming just another shade of grey in the consumer consciousness. As competition intensifies, it becomes more difficult to stand out in a crowd. But to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment, a brand needs to be nurtured.
