Brand Strategy & Visual Identity

Build a memorable brand story and connect with your audience

It’s now harder than ever to grab people’s attention - and keep hold of it. Branding and logo design are not only a part of your company’s core foundation, but it’s what keeps you evolving over time, driving awareness, recognition, and customer loyalty.

What is visual identity and why is it important for businesses?

Your story begins at your visual identity. Branding is the idea or image people will associate with your unique business, merging your industry’s available products, services, and offerings with practical, emotional, and specific identity. A brand’s visual identity consists of a name, word phrase, motto or slogan, logo, symbol, color or palette, pattern, mascot, and other visual or expressive elements that bring your company to life. It is more than just a logo – although that is a big part! 

Branding is woven throughout the entirety of your business, from your website to signage to product packaging to social media to presentations to print materials and beyond. It is essential to have a clear visual identity to provide customers with reliability and clarity when making purchasing decisions, to not only choose your product, but pick you over a network of competitors, and ideally, keep coming back for more. 

Your brand identity is the combination of visual appearance, design, brand personality, and strategic messaging.


 

How does a brand strategy help my business drive success?

A business’s branding identity is its distinctive way of saying, “This is who we are!”

Water is a clear, mass-produced, easily accessible product with an unsophisticated visual identity. Water is a good or product, but it is not a brand. However, you can probably name at least 5 different brands of water distributors and picture their logo and packaging. That’s because branding establishes recognition and product association and purchasing data reveals that people buy the brand of water they most associate with and/or trust.

Your branding and logo design directly impact the psychological element of marketing your product. This allows you to differentiate your business to more strategically target a specific audience.

What is the difference between visual identity, brand strategy, and logo design?

It feels like there’s a lot of overlap, doesn’t it? That’s because your brand is the large, overarching definition of your company that is displayed through various visual and messaging elements, including a logo, and carried out through ongoing strategy and campaigns. These campaigns are unified by the visual identity, that creates a cohesive appearance. Altogether, when a brand positions themselves in the market with a strategic brand identity, they create the opportunity to command traffic and build trust with customers.

The core elements of a complete brand strategy

Branding

A brand (that’s you!) is a company. Branding is what helps an audience identify with a brand. Brand identities include telling the whole story through verbal and visual components that guide your whole company.

Odd Dog is a brand – we use dogs as a visual element of our brand to display our fun, capable, and approachable personality. We then meet this unique personality with strategic messaging that aligns with our company’s core values to communicate the services we offer and value we provide to clients.

Logo Design

 A logo is a mark or symbol that represents a brand. Logo design is the process of creating a distinctive and visually impactful mark that represents a brand. Logos can be made up of words, symbols, or a combination.

The logo is usually the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks of a brand, such as Nike or Google. While it’s a significant element, the logo is just one piece of the puzzle to creating a visual identity for your brand.

Visual Identity

If branding is the unique messaging and design that displays a company’s purpose and values, and a logo is the visual mark that identifies your company, services, or products, then what is visual identity?

The visual identity is what ties everything together. It’s the composition of visual elements, from design elements and patterns to colors to typography to illustrations to photography treatments and more. It’s everything a customer sees that makes up your brand.
