Brands that maintain consistency with their visual identity tend to resonate much more effectively with their audience.

Most people tend to have a better visual memory hence your visual identity is an exact reflection of your business which is carefully crafted by your advertising agency. Make sure you put in the time and research to ensure that your visual identity is represented accurately when it comes to your brand.

Here are 7 things you should consider when creating a strong visual brand identity:
1. Get Your Logo Right

Chances are that you will end up going through many different changes on this, but it’s totally worth it. Your logo will be stamped on everything that you do so make sure you get it right.

2. Maintain a Consistent Colour Palette

If you look at well-established brands like Coca-Cola they are all very consistent with their color themes, right? Who doesn’t associate the color red with Coca-Cola or the color blue with Pepsi? These large brands maintain consistency with their colors across all of their designs, images and texts, making them all the more recognizable.

Make sure that you choose just a few colors and apply them to everything you do. The colors that you decide on must be able to convey the personality of your brand across, so if you run an IT company, for example, you may want to use cool soothing colors that convey stability and reliability.

3. Use a Font that Matches Your Brand Persona

Along with your choice in the color palette, you also need to think carefully about the font you use when conveying your business image across to the world. Believe it or not, the type of font that you use speaks volumes about the kind of business you are.

Along with matching your personality, you also need to ensure that it meets your audience’s perception of you.

4. Select Images that Address Your Audience and Best Reflect Your Brand

In an increasingly visual world, this goes without saying but the sad truth is that many companies tend to end up using images and pictures on their websites that actually end up making their customers more confused than if they had not used any imagery at all. It’s always good to use images when branding and marketing but please make sure that they are carefully selected so that they link back to your brand and convey the correct messages to your ideal customers.

5. Pay Attention to the Overall Layout

Many brands think that if they have their fonts, color, and logo in place then they are golden but the unfortunate truth is that they are not done yet.

Bringing all these things together in a seamless and aesthetic flow is important. How you decide to present them as a complete branding strategy can truly be the difference between making and breaking your brand’s recognition.

6. Create an Emotional Connection with Visuals

The better emotional connection you are able to establish with your customers, the higher the chances that they will begin to trust you and ultimately end up purchasing from you.

What would you like your audience to feel when they come across your brand? Make sure that you ask yourself these questions and bear in mind that visuals are the fastest way to tell your customers whether your brand is a good fit for them or not.

7. Test Out Your Visual Concepts

Like anything that has to do with marketing, you need to constantly test and optimize your visual elements until you come across one that truly resonates with your target audience.

By including carefully selected quality visuals within your overall marketing strategy, you’ll be able to further enhance and help your brand’s long-term success in today’s increasingly visual world. You can hire the services of advertising agencies that have tie-ups with exhibition organisers which will allow you to directly test out your visuals on your audience.

As with all aspects of branding, you must always remember to put strategy first. It is the backbone of everything you do for your brand. If you can bring everything together in a cohesive manner then creating the overall visual elements will be much easier as you truly know who your business is, what it represents, and exactly who you wish to attract.
