The brand system is a set of guidelines that allow everyone in the company to visualize and understand, clearly, how all the elements work

BRAND
Brand 26
What is a Brand?
A brand is: “A customer’s gut feeling about a product, service, or company.”
Branding is not a Logo
A logo is a symbol for the brand
A brand is not a product
A brand is not a promise
A brand is not the sum of all the impressions a company makes on an audience
|| Pause and think about a time you wanted to buy a product, saw an unfamiliar brand, and decided to go with it, based
on your gut.
As defined by Marty Neumeier, Author of The Brand Gap.
27
The brand is the company’s most valuable asset, on a company's balance sheet.

LOGO
Logo 40
What is a logo?
A long time ago, our human ancestors used symbols, to communicate: concepts, ideas, thoughts, and messages.
41
Logos today
Today we do the same, with logos.
42
Yes, but what is a logo?
Lockup Anatomy
Mark Wordmark
Logo Lockup
A logo identifies a business in its simplest form — via the use of a mark or icon.
A logo identifies, it does not, explain.
43
Connection between a logo and brand
Here’s a visualization of how a logo and
A brand are connected.
44
Logo requirements
A logo needs to:
1) Stands out and striking
2) Original
3) Memorable
4) Have impact
5) Professionally designed
6) Must identify the brand, not explain
7) Adaptable (16 px)
8) Recognizable (100’ wide)
9) Trigger thoughts and feelings
45
The power of brands and logos study
The data doesn’t lie! Studies show that the recognizability of a brand and logo, increase brand awareness.
46
SEE REFERENCE PDF
Why is awareness powerful?
Because it’s the first step in a purchase cycle.
47
Now, it's clear, it is our duty to deliver a proper brand.
48
It’s also clear that a brand is powerful.
49
How might we use our power responsibly?
50
TRADEMARK
Trademark 51
Trademark
A trademark is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or
services of a particular source from those of others, although trademarks used to identify services are usually called service marks.
52
Emotional ROI, of a trademark
You won't always like a logo right away.
A trademark gains meaning and power overtime.

IDENTITIY
Identity 54

IMAGE

Identity and image must match or business will become difficult to conduct and its value may fall.
When the brand identity and brand image match, the product becomes top of mind for the consumer.

PROCESS
The logo design process explained
Process
Discovery
The first part of the process is the discovery part. This is essentially a research project to gather information about the brand.
Gathered a collective understanding of the company and what we offer. By having interviews with each stakeholder and identifying
patterns, themes, likes, dislikes, and philosophies.
Synthesize
Next, all the information that was gathered will be synthesized into 3 “style-scapes.”
Review and Choose
We will review and choose from 3 choices. We may land on what we love and hate from these three style-scapes. That’s okay. If this
happens we will extract elements, we like, from the 3, and repeat the process; as needed.
Finalize
Finalize and refine the logo.
59

We have three directions
A direction will allow you to think about the stylistic approach you want the logo to go in.
REMEMBER: You are only looking to drive the direction of the logo, by making a decision on which direction to go in. The stylescapes
are tools, to allow you to drive that decision. Make a choice, it's not a commitment, then move on to the logo process.
How to Stylescape??
1) Omit 1 stylescape. You may find one stylescape, just docent work at all. That’s okay, eliminate that one.
2) Choose 1
Or
3) Choose 1 with elements from another stylescape.
