A corporate identity can be defined as a system of rules and symbols that identify your company or organization. It represents your brand; the reputation your company holds in the minds of the consumers. Corporate identity design can help communicate to consumers what makes you unique, your strong points and it also helps influence buying decisions by creating a sense of trust.
There are hundreds of ways that consumers interact with your company every day; advertising, direct mail, web site, e-mail and business cards are among a few. Each of these points of interaction are known as Brand Interaction Points. These are all opportunities for you to communicate with and influence consumers.
Corporate Identity Design is a system of tools to help your company create a consistent and clear message across all of your Brand Interaction Points. Awareness of your brand happens through a repeated exposure of your logo and corporate identity. As consumers interact with your Brand Interaction Points they are repeatedly seeing corporate identity and the message you wish you communicate.
