When a startup brand is figuring out how to design their visual identity, they must take a closer look at themselves. How does the brand want to be perceived? What are the brand’s products and how are they going to be marketed to their target audience? Taking these questions into consideration, a brand will need to find the balance between them in order to succeed.

A brand’s image relies heavily on the imagery that is associated with the photographs and images being used across all platforms of their social media. Choosing the right imagery is a defining point because without the appropriate visuals, the audience can misinterpret them or be confused about what is being offered, which will negatively affect the business. Ensuring that consistent videos, images, and more are being used is something that the whole marketing team should be on the same page about.

Brand imagery involves:

  • Photography and photomontages/collages
    • Decide on several styles
    • Budget for photoshoots and ambassadors
    • Create visually appealing stories
  • Infographics

    • Creating a relationship between data and visuals
    • Showcase trends and statistics
    • Create cohesive fonts and colors with other brand imagery being used

When choosing colors for a brand visual identity, you must look at your product or service to indicate how you want to express it to your audience. Colors create strong emotions within a human’s mind and can subconsciously trigger either a negative or positive view of a company. Ensuring that your color hues give off the appropriate sensations to your target market is vital to advance in the industry. The psychology behind colors can and should affect your marketing strategies as it contributes heavily to all visual aspects of a brand identity.

Some things to consider when thinking about color palette shades:

  • Research color theory
  • Build your brand identity first and orient it with colors that represent it
  • Identify competitors and their color strategies
  • Test colors before making a final decision
  • Keep it consistent across all marketing boards

  • Keep it simple and concise
  • Strategize your plan to market to your audience and make it memorable
  • Create a design that will complement your overall brand visual identity
  • Use techniques that will allow your logo and brand symbols to carry over for years to come
