Your logo, color palette and fonts are not your brand. They are expressions of it. The physical look and emotional tone of who you are should communicate the intangible aspects of your company in the tangible elements. When you do this your brand has depth, meaning and integrity.
A compelling brand expression utilizes, applies and establishes.
Utilize fonts and colors that reflect the values, temperament and voice of a brand.
Apply image, icon and illustration styles that equip the brand to evoke the desired emotional response and project a memorable presence.
Establish a content tone and written style that reflects the personality and authority of the brand.
