Misconception 🫣 I have a brand because I have a logo

Look, I get it, Branding can be quite intense and a big chunky project however it is the core of your identity as a business. One of the most common misconceptions, especially with new businesses is that if you have a logo, sometimes not even a logo it’s just an icon, then you have a brand. Or that your logo identity defines your brand identity. Neither of these are true. There is so much more to branding e.g. fonts, colour schemes, tone of voice, and even down to your market positioning according to your target audience. 

A logo is just one element of your brand identity, but it doesn’t encompass the entirety of what your brand stands for. Fonts and colour schemes contribute to the visual consistency and recognition of your brand. The tone of voice you use in your communications helps to convey your brand’s personality and values.

Moreover, market positioning is crucial. It involves understanding where your brand fits in the market relative to competitors and how it resonates with your target audience. This strategic positioning helps differentiate your brand and create a unique value proposition.

Branding is about creating a cohesive and consistent identity that communicates your business’s essence, values, and promise to your customers. It influences how your audience perceives your brand and builds trust and loyalty over time. So, investing time and effort into developing a comprehensive brand strategy is vital for long-term success.
