Define Your Brand Identity
Before you even start on your logo and branding journey, it's important to define your ‘brand identity’.
(What’s that I hear you ask?🤔)
It’s started by clearly outlining your business's core values, mission, your target audience, and unique selling proposition (your ‘USP’; what are you offering besides your competitors).
This information will serve as the foundation for your branding strategy and ensure consistency across all your brand touchpoints.
Research Your Target Audience
Understanding your target audience is key to designing your logos and branding that resonates with them!
Conduct in depth market research to gain insights into your customers' preferences, demographics, and ‘psychographics’ (their personality, lifestyle habits etc).
This knowledge will help you craft a visual identity that appeals to your target audience’s desires and emotions🧡.
Find Inspiration
(Who doesn’t love inspiration??🥰 I know I’m often curiously checking things out!)
To create a compelling logo and branding, it's essential to seek inspiration from various sources.
Explore industry trends, study successful brands, and collect design references that align with your brand's personality.
