Basic visual brand strategy

Consistency is key

You should use the same logo and images across all the products and marketing materials. Stick to the same color scheme, the same imaginary offline and online. It will help you to establish your identity in customer’s minds. When they will go through your logo over and over again, it will help customers to recognize and trust your brand.

Be memorable

Think of a strong and big aim. Your audience can glance briefly at the visual element to know exactly what they are looking at.

Things to consider before creating a strong visual brand identity.

Your logo

A logo identifies your brand’s perception, reputation, and purpose. The logo is the heart of your company. Though small can say a lot. Create a unique and purposeful logo.

Colour combination

If I speak Coca-Cola you will think of red color. Right? These big brands are consistent with their colors, images, messages, and designs as they helped them to get more attraction from the audience. choose a handful of colors and apply your creativity. This color will reflect your personality.

Content

Content plays a significant role in enhancing your brand’s message and reputation. Content can be in any form — blog, website content, social media, podcast, image, videos live, or data-driven research. You should be able to convey your message in very easy language so that it is understood by everybody.

Strategy

Your visual strategy should have a purpose. Your strategy should engage more and more audience. To be successful, your marketing decision must use the principle of visual communication. You need to develop a strategy that puts your content in front of your audience and convey it in a way that engages and motivates them to act.

Choose a font that matches your brand personality

Use a font that can speak volumes about the type of business you are. This is because your font will be visible throughout your branding and it has to suit your marketplace and performs by being readable on numerous scales.

Don’t forget about the value

Your brand should add some value to the market. It could be environmental, profit storing, sustainability, quality of the workplace, or providing a much-needed solution to society.

This value will give your business a personality, soul and enable customers to feel emotional relation with your brand.

Use the visual to bring out emotions

People love those brands that understand their emotions and choices. The more you are emotionally connected to them the more likely they’ll trust you and eventually buy from you. Try making them comfortable give them choices, have products according to them- Everyone is not blessed financially so take care of those people too.

Remember to put strategy first. If you have a strong strategy creating the visual elements will be much easier because you will truly know who your business is and what it represents. So basically visual elements are like the recipe of food. You need to have lots of flavors.
