Businesses talk about branding all the time. What’s the #1 common thread that I hear? “We need brand standards!”
We were getting a lot of questions about how we think about branding at Drift, so we created a brand guide to share our approach. In this book we cover our mission, values, culture, logos, typography, colors, editorial voice, social media voice, and visual branding.
Branding is so much more than a logo. That's why we break down our core brand values — and core value number three is Transparency.
So sharing version one of our brand book with you just seems right.
It’s a living document — which means we’re always going to be changing, updating, and tweaking, but it’s time to share V1 with you now.
Here’s the Drift Brand Book, version one.

Logos are texts, images, shapes, or a combination of the three that convey the identity and work of a brand. Logos, at a single glance, may come across as mere symbols indicating something about the brand, but they serve a greater purpose. A good logo can help your brand establish credibility, attract the attention of potential customers, give an important message relevant to your business and even help you stay a step ahead of competitors.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Being a dynamic person with multiple interests- sports, dance, travel (and
a lot more), I have been fortunate enough to explore an area which I
appreciate the most- Art and Creativity.
Having studied Business and Finance, my penchant for Marketing and Art
still remained (unlike a lot of other interests) where I saw Digital Marketing
as that one area whose growth is inevitable in the coming years. Growing
up in a business minded family, I have been inherently keen on building
something of my own ever since I was a little kid.
I only became more confident when I met my alter ego, Vedanti, who
shared the same vision as mine- to build something great.
Markenzo for me is not just an agency to grow
ourselves but is also an outlet to help, inspire and grow
others through what interests me.

I like to believe that I'm a Multipotentialite. My interests have changed
from journalism to photography to filmmaking to advertising in the last 6
years and a lot more.
Starting an advertising agency was always THE dream for me. But the
agency plan was always in the backseat until I met my fellow lioness,
Shivani. I know the two of us are onto something great and that the sky
moon stars galaxies and everything beyond is just the limit for us.
If there's one thing common between all the madness and crazy in me —
it’s that I’m a Creator. Be it articles / podcasts, printing designs or social
media campaigns, "creating" is something that has always followed me,
no matter how many interests I hopped skipped and jumped.
Creation and Creativity will be the death of me.

8. How it all began?
In our heart of hearts we always knew we were destined for something
big, something great, but then again it could just be the Leos in us talking.
We met each other in 2018 at a party and hit it off right away.
Eventually we realised we had more things in common and enjoyed each
other’s company more than we thought we did. We tried working on a
bunch of random projects together but somehow things never ended out
the way we expected them to. Since we both have advertising and digital
marketing backgrounds we had an epiphany that wouldn’t it just be great
if we started off a company of our own rather than freelancing?
And just like that our journey went from,
“Kuch bada karte hai." back in 2018 to "Chalo agency kholte hai." in 2019.

very clearly evident as well.

Concept:
Only take into consideration that are minimal and has clean strokes.
Nothing that is cursive or handwritten will go with the logotype. Sans Serif
fonts will work better with the brand indentity that Serif fonts. More
emphasis to be given to Markenzo than Worldwide.
Client Preference: Markenzo should be bolder and out there than
worldwide. Worldwide should be slimmer and more sleak looking.
Keeping the following points in mind we shortlisted a few fonts and then
finalised a font that worked best with the logotype.

Perfect balance between
the two colour.
Solid shapes have been used
instead of strokes so they are
eye catching in the very first
instance and out there.
Markenzo is bolder than
Worldwide to put more emphasis
on it. To maintain an ideal ration
between the words, Worldwide
has been spaced out evenly.
The initials of the logo
(MW) are created in the
most minimal manner
while also playing
around negative space.
