What is Brand Identity?

Brand identity is how you want your business perceived by your customers. 

This includes the choice of your business name, the design of your logo, the colors, elements, and the tone of voice you use.

Brand identity is distinct from brand image, which is the result of these efforts. In other words, a strong brand identity leads to a positive brand image.

To build a positive brand image you must put effort into developing a solid brand identity. They all rely on each other but are not the same.

Some of the globally recognized brands spend a lot of resources just to promote their business. The effort put into this has a direct impact on both sales and market share.

Conclusion

The importance of brand identity is the quality of consistency in a business's identity across all communication channels. Still, companies should never lose sight of what they stand for: to deliver memorable interactions that create value. A company's reputation and how people see them are often shaped through experience and brand voice. Therefore, it’s wise not to think of the brand identity as a set-it-and-forget-it strategy but rather one that will evolve with the company's ongoing growth and development.
