Creative Brand Identity Design Particulars

By Jordan Schmidt


Having a brand is dire to any business. It plays a role in business success as it is what remains in the memory of the customers. It refers to the memories, stories, relationship and set expectation by the customer which entirely influence the choices they make in making purchases. It represents what the customers converse between themselves about your business. This is the importance of creative brand identity design.

It can be overwhelming to get a request to create a product strategy. If you are experienced in the field however there is no need to worry. All you need is to manipulate what you already know accordingly to end up with a great outcome. Before you go ahead with the project, ensure you have a strategy. This should include values and propositions the client and you agree on. Failure of this will leave the customer with nothing to use as basis when judging the creative designs relevancy.

You should be having a brief. If it is not drafted from the start both you the creator and the customer you serve will lean more towards creative ideas of the solutions you already have. The drawback of doing this is that you run a risk for a subjective feedback. If the strategies enlisted in the brief are well understood, the decision on rationalizing the design made by those concerned will be easy to make.

Like all other undertakings, the importance of a thorough background check cannot be underestimated. Seek to be conversant with the brands personality. How, when and where it started, the function it plays and ethos surrounding it. Get the finest details concerning client identity and the company too. Include the targeted market, perception the company wants from their customers, how it wishes to advertise itself and the outlets it will use in order to accomplish this.

Then, get the customer reviews of the branding. This represents their likes and awareness about designing. The competition should be looked into also. The visual styles, colors and typefaces used by rivals should be noted. This is to act as a guide in putting up something unique. Consider the various uses, colors and sizes from how the client will see it.

It is the logos which hold together brand identities making its recognizability instant. But this is not what the brand is entirely about. When the creations are been made, focus must be on all the elements not just one. Mind the interactions of these elements amongst themselves.

Do not do the mistake of taking the client for granted because you see yourself as highly qualified. Remember it is the client who knows what stands out. Designing something catchy can earn you points from your peers. However, this will be to the expense of what the customer expects you to accomplish. Also you will have ignored what it will take to make the creation a success in serving the purpose it is meant to.

The details used, colors and typography should not be overly done. Sometimes just making the creation simple may prove beneficial as it can hold in different times in the account of changing visual tastes of the customers. Ultimately, make sure to pick up the special aspects of the creation from the time you begin the project. Otherwise you will miss the opportunity for connecting with those you intend to serve. Your imagination maybe arrested half way the creation too.
