      Your brand's visual identity is vital when it comes to branding and marketing. It's easily the most recognizable thing about your business and makes an impact on your reputation as well. Think about how many times you've visited a poorly designed website and left without making a purchase, or when you were less likely to walk into a restaurant on a street because of a shabby and unwelcoming exterior appearance.

Your brand's visual identity includes your logo design, fonts, photography, brand color palettes, visual style, website, social media content, and business cards. While you can certainly do all of this on your own, consider stepping away from Photoshop to hire a professional, especially when it comes to logo design.We offer logo designs for small businesses, please call us today and we will make it happen. Besides logo designs we create beautifull websites that will help to position your brand on a local level.

       

        Brand guidelines are basically your Brand Bible. This is a document that holds all the ins and outs of your business and can be a useful resource for decision-making, employee training, and outside partnerships. If you're hiring a new employee or partnering up with another business, vendor, or content marketing service, such guidelines will help them understand who your brand is. This is particularly important if you're having an outside source create marketing content for you. The brand guidelines will help them understand your brand message when creating any marketing material.

Your brand guidelines should include:

    Brand mission statement and vision
    Values
    Brand story
    Logos
    Typography
    Photography or imagery

    Sample copy
