Is your visual identity under control?
What is a visual identity?
A visual identity is the public face of your company. It is what gives your company its personality and makes it stand out from the crowd. Everyone has a visual identity, whether they are aware of it or not.
Your visual identity is everything you display to the outside world. Your website, your social media, even your emails. You can call it your digital business card. It is therefore important that there is a common thread running through the logo, colours, typography, illustrations, photos, and all the other visual characteristics that convey something about your company.
Why is a good visual identity important?
You are judged on your visual identity when your target audience has to decide at a glance whether to buy your product or use your services. It is the first thing your target audience encounters, and the verdict is immediate. Is your audience willing to choose you?
A carefully thought-out visual identity expresses what your company stands for, as well as matches services and products. It makes your company appear serious, which inspires confidence in your target audience.
With a strong visual identity, you ensure that you create vital recognisability for your brand that becomes easy to remember and makes your business stand out on the market. A good visual identity will therefore be able to both communicate your brand and vision as well as attract potential customers. In other words, a professional and well-crafted visual identity can strengthen your competitive edge and thus generate growth.

While there are many things that contribute to creating your visual identity, creating a good visual identity is not easy.

There is a lot of strategic work involved, including understanding the market, your target audience, as well as your strengths and weaknesses.
