Creating a new brand identity is a multi-step process that involves research, strategy, design, and implementation. The process begins with research, where the company, its competitors, and the target audience are studied to gain insights into the company's values, mission, and unique selling points. This information is then used to develop a brand strategy, which defines the brand's positioning, personality, and messaging. The design stage is where the visual elements of the brand, such as the logo, typography, and color palette, are created and developed. Once the design is finalized, the new brand identity is implemented across all company materials, such as the website, social media, business cards, and packaging, and with the help of a communication plan. The last step is evaluating the performance of the brand identity, and make any necessary adjustments. It's a collaborative process that requires input from different departments and stakeholders and may also require a multi-disciplinary team with branding, marketing, and design expertise.
This new identity will allow us to transform an unfamiliar entity into a familiar face with a recognizable voice and legitimate identity. This provides us with a compass that reminds us of our mission statement and helps us navigate interactions both internally and externally. And, finally, they provide a firm foundation upon which to build a reputation.
