Brand Identity

If there is one thing we're experts at, it's creating powerful brands that know how to perform in the real world. A standout brand identity, striking visual style and a unique brand voice all combine to bring your brand story, business and products to life. The way a brand communicates visually and verbally with it's audience has a direct relationship to it's perceived value. A successful brand identity will outlast any promotion or campaign if the customer experience is aligned with their expectations.

Whether your business needs a brand identity system built from the ground up, branded collateral and content creation, brand guidelines or it's time for your old trusty brand to evolve, Bounce always strives to craft brands that are relevant, individual and authentic.

A successful brand incorporates some of the following brand identity essentials:

A memorable name

To begin with a brand needs a stand-out name. Naming is such a fundamental component of your brand that it is essential you get it right at the very start. A great name is memorable, short and creates an instant image or feeling whenever it is encountered. It must sound great and must appeal to your market.

A great logo

A great name deserves a unique logo. Many logos are recognized before they are read. The overall shape of a logo becomes a recognisable identifier for a brand. Shape, like colour, makes an immediate impact. Bounce design have been creating strong visual identities since 2013, so you know you are in capable hands.

Visual style

The style of additive visual elements such as photography or illustration truly helps define an identity. A strong and clear visual style helps define aesthetic and provide impact for your identity.

Colour

Colour brings an immediate emotional quality to a brand. A colour treatment can make or break a brand identity. Colour choices that are too dated, inappropriate or unsophisticated, can drag down even the most wonderfully drawn mark.

Sense of place

In a physical space, brand identity elements mix together to paint a cohesive picture. This introduces an important opportunity for creating a compelling brand experience. The most successful retail chains and product showrooms create meaningful, engaging brand identities within their commercial environments. Good brand identities express a sense of place.

Voice

An organisation's name, tagline, and verbal styling add up to an important reflection of its brand identity. This can be referred to as its ‘voice'. As with all other aspects of brand positioning, when developing a brand voice, look for a different path than the one followed by the competition.

Consistency

Consistency is the glue that holds a brand program together! The goal of rolling out a new or evolved brand is to strengthen an organisation's identity and make it more recognizable. To do this, the identity should be represented in a consistent way across all media. Just as logo structure is important, so too is consistency of application within the branding program. If the same structured logo is applied haphazardly, it will be less identifiable and erode design value, in turn reducing the perceived value of that brand.

This can be helped along by a strong brand identity system that visually embodies your company's essence and tells the story that sets you apart from your competitors.

Brand identity and ongoing consistency in roll-out by a design professional should be considered a necessity for the ongoing success of your business.
