Brand Identity Design Process

Designing a brand identity is not an easy task! It requires the designer to have good creative thinking, design experience, and, most importantly, an understanding of the brand’s value. From there, a sophisticated design is created that fully conveys the meaning and message of the brand or business.

In this article, let’s explore the design process for creating a valuable brand identity with Hoang Vuong Paper Packaging.

Requirements for Design

Before starting the design process, the designer must understand the basic and essential requirements of designing a brand identity. The design must meet the needs:

• (1) Differentiation: As competition intensifies, businesses need a unique selling point to make an impression on customers. This differentiation must be reflected in the brand identity products, such as the logo, slogan, etc., so customers can easily recognize and have a favorable impression from the first moment they see and hear them.
• (2) Relevance and connection: The brand identity system must play a role as a bridge between the needs and concerns of customers with the product and the brand’s mission.
• (3) Popularity: A successful brand identity system captures customers’ emotions, helps them easily recognize the brand, and leads to buying behavior. To achieve this, the design of the products in the brand identity system must harmoniously and aesthetically pay attention to details such as font, color, logo layout, etc.

A brand identity is successful when it captures customers’ emotions, helps them easily recognize the brand, and generates purchasing behavior.

Process of Designing brand identity:

1. Research and define the brand before designing

Researching and defining the brand before designing is considered the most time-consuming and effort-intensive stage for designers. To create valuable brand identity products, designers need to invest time and effort to research, explore, and think creatively to develop basic sketches.

A brand identity is the face of a business, the means of recognition, and the bridge between customers and the industry, helping to convey its message and assert its brand. Therefore, the designer must understand the mission and business objectives of the company to be creatively innovative in the right direction. Who are the potential customers that the business is targeting? What is unique about the business’s products? What message does the brand identity need to convey?

2. Ideation and sketching of the design

After identifying the fundamental issues of the brand, we will start ideation and sketching the design. You can refer to the brand identities of competitors for analysis, evaluation, and learning. Then, draw the messages into images based on your creativity, design thinking, and experience.

Sketching is also an essential step because, based on the sketches, you can make adjustments to make the design perfect.

To have valuable brand identities, designers must invest time and effort to research and be creative in sketching out basic concepts.

3. Carry out brand identity design

The next step is to start designing and perfecting the brand identity. The logo must ensure the necessary attractiveness and convey the message of the brand even when designed in just two black and white colors.

Then, choose appropriate colors for the brand, which demonstrate its uniqueness. Choose fonts, layouts, and icons that are appropriate based on the characteristics of the production and business industries.

Brand identity products, such as uniforms, stationery, catalogs, banners, standees, labels, packaging, etc., are also implemented similarly.
