FAQs about Brand Identity Development
Answers to questions you frequently ask about branding
Q: What makes up a brand identity?
Brand identity is made up of several elements, including;
- Logo: A unique symbol that represents your brand.
- Typography: The fonts and typefaces used in your branding materials.
- Colour palette: The colours that represent your brand.
- Imagery and photography style: The type of imagery and photography used in your branding materials.
- Graphic design layouts: The overall design and layout of your branding materials.
Q: What’s the difference between brand identity and a logo?
Your brand identity is more than just a logo. If anything, the logo is just an emblem or a symbol that people use to identify your business with. That means the logo is just a piece of the puzzle.
Q: What should I look for when choosing a branding agency?

Q: How can I make sure my brand identity stands out from competitors?
While it’s quite challenging to make a completely unique brand, you can use a few aspects to make yours stand out. What will differentiate you from your competitors is the unique value proposition you bring to the sector. So, find that unique thing and centre your brand identity around that. Also, conducting competitor analysis will help you identify the gaps and use that to design your brand.
Q: Can a brand redesign risk losing existing customers?
One thing about a brand makeover is that it uses the existing identity as a baseline and improves it. Ideally, this is not supposed to scare away your existing customers, as long as you don’t lose the core values that your customers associate your brand with. However, don’t assume that your customers will see the changes. Communicate the rebrand through your online channels.

Q: How do we measure the effectiveness of a brand identity?
As we have repeatedly said, a brand identity is not built overnight. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t see results right away. Reach, conversion rate, and audience retention are some of the metrics you can use to measure the effectiveness of your brand identity. These will tell you if your target audience resonates with the new brand identity.
