Why do you need to create a brand and not just a logo?

Are you in the process of starting a venture or do you have an idea you'd like to launch? Do you need to create a brand for a new product for your business or the company you work for? Or, simply, have you decided to start working on your personal brand? 

Today, from the branding and digital marketing agency Nömad, we tell you why it’s important not just to have an attractive logo, but to create a solid brand.

Are you joining us into the galaxy of branding? Here we go! 

Brand image

A solid brand can generate trust, attract your target audience, and differentiate you from the competition. It’s not just about a logo or a slogan. Brand image is the way your customers perceive and experience your business. 

When you think about creating a brand, you are thinking about a strategy that goes beyond visual aspects. It is essential to consider how your company or product is going to connect with the world.

And when it comes to connecting with the market, we already know who the king is.

Brand vs. Logo

While a logo can be a significant element of your brand, it is not the entirety of it. A logo is a graphic design, a visual identification of your company. However, a brand encompasses the vision, mission, values, and company culture. It is the promise you make to your customer about what you can offer and how you do it. The logo is just one part of that promise, but not the whole thing. 

Creating a brand implies a long-term commitment to maintain consistency and quality in all your interactions with the customer.

In fact, the power of some brands is so strong that they no longer even need a logo. Or, perhaps, you don't know who is behind this billboard?

Another example would be this recent McDonald's ad.

Brand vs. Corporate Visual Identity

Corporate visual identity is the set of graphic and design elements that represent your company or product, including the logo, corporate colors, typography, and any other visual material.

Being faithful to the corporate visual identity when communicating with the public is essential for brand recognition and for the magic to begin.

Because a brand is the emotional and psychological perception that customers have about your company. In other words, your corporate identity is how you present yourself to the world, while your brand is how the world perceives you. Creating a brand involves building an emotional connection with your customers, something that goes beyond aesthetics.

Keeping all this in mind when developing a corporate visual identity is fundamental for that brand-customer connection to occur in the medium and long term. (And we have been doing it for over ten years)
