Okay, so you got a registered company, distinctive brand name and even well-amounted finance. So, what do you do next? A unique brand identity of course to ensure that your brand stands out in the market. And, the first thing to create and maintain is your brand logo!
Brand logo is extremely important to make sure that your brand is differentiated and recognised from other competitors that offer the same kind of products or services. It is defined as a symbol or other small design adopted by an organization to identify its brand, products, uniform, vehicles or more (Ref: Oxford Dictionaries.com). More specifically, a logo should be able to project a brand’s personality, style, image or attitude that it wants to be associated with.
But, how do you use it effectively and properly throughout your brand communication items? You can’t just simply put it on your CID and give it a go! For unique brand identity and effective brand awareness, the following are general do’s and don’ts in using your brand logo:
Do’s:
