You might be starting a new business, or you might be already up and running, but there’s one thing that all businesses have in common:
Big or small, online or offline, bold or boutique; Every business needs a brand.
I already have a logo, is this the same as a brand?
In a word: NO.
A logo is not the same as a brand. Allow me to explain why:
Imagine one person represented your business.
Your logo is the tie they wear to work.
But have you considered the rest of the outfit?
If not, you’re going to work naked!
Your logo is simply one piece of the puzzle.
What is a brand?
Let’s not mince words.
There are many differing opinions on the exact definition.
Wars have been fought and lost over the meaning of a brand.
Allow me to offer my definition:
Put simply, a brand is how others perceive your business
Your brand is the story behind your business:
What you do
Your business personality
Your business values
Your target market
So how should you communicate this to your customers through your brand?
There are various ways to convey your branding to your customers through visual communication.
Logo
Fonts
Colours
Tone
Personality
Marketing messages
Imagery
How do I build a brand?
So now you know:
Your brand is not just a logo,
Your brand consists of many elements. Any time a customer interacts with your business is a potential brand touchpoint.
Do you:
Own a website?
Send letters?
Have a uniform?
Communicate through emails?
Hand out discount vouchers?
All of the above are opportunities to communicate your brand to your customers.
Any contact your customer has with the business is an opportunity to communicate your brand.
You need to consider any contact a customer has with your brand very carefully.
Every touchpoint is a potential opportunity to sell your brand.
On the other hand it could be a missed opportunity.
The Building Blocks of a brand
The most common branding elements for many small businesses are visual.
such as:
logo
Fonts
Colour scheme
Tone of voice
Imagery
Promotional materials
Your website
Shop signage
Customer Service
You must carefully consider all of these, and most importantly be consistent in appearance.
Any symbols or imagery, colours and fonts you use need to be consistent. Imagine the confusion if the symbols for male and female toilets were suddenly swapped.
If this all sounds complicated, it doesn’t have to be. Put simply:
Be genuine
Be consistent
Be Visible
If you follow these guidelines, your branding will take shape!
My process for a Design Hero branding project is as follows:
Research and Investigation.
Brainstorming.
Concept design.
Client revisions
Logopack and Brand guidelines
You can read more about my process on my guide to the branding process.
