Brand identity

Brand identity. We've all heard the horror stories of companies spending sky-high budgets only to end up with a logo that's merely a capital letter with some arrows stuck on the side, or rebrands that cost the earth but change only one dark squiggle on a yellow background into a different dark squiggle on a red background. It's a bit of a con, right? Actually it would appear that it's not.

The right branding can be of the utmost importance to a company. A good logo can be a valuable asset, while the wrong look has damaged reputations. The best iconic brands convey messages either subtly or overtly. A great example of subtlety is the FedEx arrow. Similarly, Google uses colour and a simple typeface in a playful and soft way to connect with people online, in an environment which is often viewed as soulless.
