Logo or brand identity: which does your business need?

A logo is one mark. A brand identity is the system around it: colour, type, imagery and the rules that keep them consistent. Most founders need the system.

The difference

Vallida brand identity system by streetlevel.ae

A logo

A single mark that identifies you. On its own it cannot tell a sign maker which colour to use, or a designer how to lay out a post.

A brand identity

The mark plus colour, typography, imagery and layout rules, gathered in guidelines anyone can follow.

Why the system matters

Consistency is what makes a young business look established. A system makes every touchpoint look like it came from the same place.
