What is brand identity?

Every business needs a consistent brand identity as part of its marketing. It creates a unified image that followers and clients can recognize and associate with you. Think about major brands – you don’t have to guess what color Coca-Cola’s logo is, right? So, what exactly do we mean by brand identity, and why should you take it seriously?

Brand identity is the collection of a company’s visual and communication elements that define how the brand appears to the outside world. It helps businesses communicate in a consistent and recognizable way with their customers. It’s not just about the logo or colors – it encompasses all the elements that reflect a company’s identity.

The main elements of brand identity

Logo
