Creating Content: When To Outsource And When To DIY
As a business owner, you want your content to stand out. While hiring a professional photographer or videographer may seem necessary, there are times when a DIY approach is the bet
The Importance of a consistent – and unique – visual identity.
As your business grows and your vision evolves, it’s easy to let your brand elements become disjointed. Left unattended, haphazard branding can hinder business success as it may cause you to be overlooked – or avoided – by your ideal client.
Your brand needs a unique and cohesive visual identity that leaves a lasting impression in your audience’s mind. If your brand elements are lacking a unified look and feel, 2024 is a great time to address this!
A Closer Look At Visual Identity
A visual identity is how your audience will recognise you. It’s the manner in which your company represents itself to the public. A strong visual identity requires consistency across all touchpoints: your website, social media, printed materials, etc. Your visual identity should also be versatile and able to adapt to various mediums and platforms for web, print and social media. Consistent colours, fonts, and imagery help to build recognition and trust in your target audience.
Your Brand Colours – Your primary brand colours are the cornerstone of your brand’s visual identity, representing its core attributes. Secondary colours provide versatility and support. They work together to create a unified and recognisable brand aesthetic across touchpoints and materials. Too many brand colours results in a brand that looks unprofessional. It also complicates the process when trying to create any type of marketing material.
Your Brand Fonts: You also need to select the right fonts for your logo and tagline, as well as a font for standard body text and general correspondence.
When it comes to social media, working within professionally designed templates is an ideal solution on how to present a consistent style across platforms. It also saves you time and energy when it comes to content creation.
The most memorable brands are often those whose visual identity is simple yet captivating. Design elements that can be easily recognised at a glance are often the most effective!
A Closer Look At Your Logo
Your logo is the most notable element in your brand’s visual identity. All great logos share the following characteristics:
1. Simplicity
A timeless design ensures that your logo remains relevant and doesn’t need frequent updates.
2. Relevance
Your logo must reflect your brand’s values and mission. The colours must also resonate with your ideal client and industry.
3. Scalability
Your logo will need to be resized to be used on different mediums. And it needs to look just as good on your website as it does on a billboard! It’s best to avoid intricate details that may get lost in smaller formats.
4. Uniqueness
Your logo must stand out from your competition. It’s important to pursue originality so that your brand becomes distinctive. It’s also best to avoid any cliches and trends which have the tendency to become outdated.
Approaching Your Brand’s Visual Identity in 2024
A unique and cohesive brand visual identity is a strategic necessity that not only makes you distinctive in the marketplace but also saves you time and money. If you’ve realised your visual identity isn’t sending the right message to your audience, it may be time to address it so you can grow with distinction and enjoy authentically deserved confidence.
