A Brand Is Much More Than Just A Logo
| |
| Logo design is a part of brand design. But, a brand is not just a logo design. When does a logo become part of a brand?
To answer this question, let's first define what a logo is and what a brand is:
What is a logo? A logo is a unique, meaningful design that's paired with your company name in an interesting and cohesive way. The logo also has a color palette assigned to it. It must be scalable, able to be reproduced consistently in all of your marketing, and timeless - so that it doesn't get stale or look old too soon.
What is a brand? A brand is "The collection of perceptions that your customer has about your business". Note that the brand lives in your customer's mind - and the ideas that they have about your business. |
