Branding, Identity and Logos for Businesses

What Is the Perfect Brand for Your Customer?

Proper branding means more than just slapping a logo on your product.

For complete branding, you need to understand how to tell a story through your brand’s look, feel and customer interactions.

When a customer sees your business what will their first impression be? What is the story your customer sees in your logo?

Frustrated About The Branding Process?

One of the biggest decisions your company will make is who you want your target market to be.

Expanding your marketing beyond your niche might alienate your niche group of customers you need to rely on to keep your brand profitable.

If you remember nothing else about branding, remember that you can’t be everything to everyone.

The Difference Between A brand, a logo and an Identity

Logo design, identity design and branding all have different roles but must well together.

Brand

perceived emotional corporate image

Identity

visual aspects that form part of the brand

Logo

A company without a strong brand has no future

What Is the Perfect Brand for Your Customer?

Some brands, like Coca-Cola, seem to have found some union of human desires that creates a strong and desirable brand across the world. Many people say it’s because they sell happiness. But Coke isn’t just happiness.

The Dream of Brand Perfection

Brand tracker, Interbrand, consistently ranks Coke at or near the top of its brand rankings, up there with brands such as Apple and Samsung. For instance, in 2018, they valued Coca-Cola’s brand equity alone at 66 billion dollars.

Coca-Cola couldn’t do that with happiness alone. Coke is a whole system of values wrapped up in a simple, but expressive brand. Coke is history and authentic happiness. Even its logo’s old-fashioned, elegant design reminds customers of a bygone era. Unlike second-run player Pepsi, Coca-Cola isn’t just a party. Coke’s marketing pulls at the heart-strings and it targets people of all ages.

Your Brand Must Solve a Problem

To find the right balance for your brand, we examine your target market as a problem to be solved. Who is your perfect customer and what is the story they want to hear? How will your brand fit into their lives?

Whether you run a small store, a growing startup or a major company, there is a place for your product and services, but only if you understand what your customers want to see in your brand.
