If you keep hearing brand identity and not sure what exactly it is, then look no more.. I'm breaking down what exactly a brand identity is and providing the checklist you need.


Brand identity is the outward expression of the brand - think logos, colors, fonts, shapes, filters, and messaging. It's the "how you look" of your business.

Choosing a brand identity that you LOVE and that truly aligns with business goals, mission and target audience can be a game changer. Having a consistent brand identity makes your brand look legit and adds art direction to all your marketing materials.


Essentially a brand identity is how your brand identifies itself, your "personality" of your business. It is important to establish a brand voice and have clear, concise messaging. A visual brand identity includes a tagline, logo, website, images, specific fonts, colors, etc. Everything that identifies your brand becomes your brand identity.


So what are the characteristics of a good brand identity?


Being relevant, authentic and being distinct. Anything that you can do to make your brand stand out is going to make your brand identity stronger than the rest.

Here's a checklist for you to get a head start:

LOGO

The words and graphics that represents your brand. Logos should embody the service or the product you are offering and incorporates your color palette.


Use HEX codes to allow your brand colors to remain consistent from your logo, to website, printed materials and especially on social media. Hex color codes are Hex color codes are one type of HTML color codes. They are values that tell the display how much of a color to show.


Choose a font (or family of fonts) that represents your brand and that you LOVE. Having consistent fonts makes your brand look legit and adds art direction to all your marketing. Limit to using 2-3 fonts max for your brand.


Ready to get started? When you have these down pat, next is where you can apply these to your business.


Here are examples of where you can showcase your branding:


1. Website


2. Social Media

3. Business Cards


4. Materials

hi88.com mình mới ghé thử vì thấy mấy đứa bạn nói qua, kiểu vào xem cho biết chứ không có ý tìm hiểu sâu. Vừa mở lên cái mình để ý ngay là trang nhìn khá thoáng, các phần được chia khối rõ ràng nên mắt không bị rối. Mình hay khó chịu mấy site giấu menu kỹ quá, nhưng ở đây thanh menu đặt dễ thấy, bấm qua lại giữa vài mục cũng nhanh, không phải loay hoay tìm đường. Nội dung hiển thị theo kiểu gọn gàng, nhìn lướt là nắm được thông tin chính chứ không bị chữ dính vào nhau. Nói chung cảm giác dùng ổn, nhất là cách họ sắp xếp các khối nội dung…

https://rr88k1.com/ mình bấm vào chủ yếu vì tò mò thôi, kiểu xem thử giao diện ra sao chứ không định ngồi đọc kỹ. Vừa vào cái là thấy trang sắp xếp khá thoáng, nhìn không bị rối hay “ngợp” như nhiều chỗ khác. Mình để ý nhất là thanh menu đặt ngay chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển qua lại mấy mục rất nhanh, không phải kéo lên kéo xuống tìm. Mấy phần thông tin cũng được chia thành từng khối rõ ràng, lướt qua là hiểu đại khái đang có gì trên trang. Nói chung hợp với kiểu người vào xem nhanh bố cục, và mình thấy cách họ nhóm nội dung theo từng block nhìn khá gọn, menu cũng…
