Brand, Branding and Visual Identity.
It is very common that concepts such as Brand, branding and visual identity are used without distinction in similar contexts when in reality they are very different things.
The out-of-context use of these basic categories creates confusion that at the strategic level can be serious and with disastrous consequences for the conquest of the ideal market.
Hence, understanding the differences between these concepts will make our lives easier when considering the development of a brand that, in the eyes of ordinary people, is reduced to logo design.
So what is the difference between Brand, branding and visual identity?
- The Brand is the perception that the public has of the company.
- Branding is rather a process related to the set of efforts and actions carried out to position a brand.
- The visual or brand identity is the set of tangible elements of the brand that together manage to establish the image of the brand.
