The Brand is Not the Identity



For many there is some confusion as to the difference between a brand, an identity and a logo. These terms are often, mistakenly used interchangeably.

First lets start with the brand:

A Brand


is what the consumer perceives it to be. It
creates an emotional response
has a distinct meaning
brings immediate recognition
stands apart from all its competitors.

A Successful Brand

differentiates itself from its competitors
endears consumer trust in the company
and its products/services.
builds consumer awareness
builds customer loyalty

represents high quality products
consistently delivers excellent consumer services

always stays ahead of the pack

evolves over time

delivers on its promises


A Brand is Not a:


product
service
company's identification system
logo
Although none of these items are the brand,
Each of them help to influence
the brand and the perception of the consumer.
