00:00Developing a strong visual identity system.

00:04You have done the hard work of researching, analyzing, and proposing a clear brand direction.

00:10The client concedes and wholeheartedly endorses the strategic plan.

00:15Looks great in theory.

00:17However, it's now time to make it real by actively creating and implementing the visual system.

00:24When people have trouble understanding or agreeing.

00:27Design can effectively demonstrate and communicate the idea to a tangible level.

00:33You might begin designing a visual approach with a logo, which is a good starting point.

00:38However, a logo will consistently never exist in a situation of isolation.

00:44While you might certainly perceive it individually on the screen,

00:47the audience will always acknowledge and understand it in its whole context.

00:53The entire identity system, or how the logo and other elements interact,

00:58will either support the brand message or create confusion.

01:02An identity system is the combination of all the elements that work together to maintain a singular voice for the brand.

01:10The logo is one part.

01:12And there may be horizontal, vertical, and stacked variations.

01:16The identity system also includes a proprietary color palette,

01:21a selection of typefaces for headlines and body text,

01:25and additional elements such as iconography, copy styles materials, and image style if needed.

01:32Think of an identity system as a set of Lego bricks or color blocks.

01:37There are multiple elements that combine to create new ideas.

01:40You can build all kinds of structures with Lego bricks.

01:44But whether it's a house or car, they will always maintain their distinctive aesthetic.

01:50However, if you try to mix Lego bricks with wooden blocks, then the result is disjointed.

01:56Identity systems work similarly.

01:59Different parts can combine in various ways,

02:01but this system falls apart when an incompatible element is introduced.

02:05An identity system will be passed on to other designers and creative partners.

02:11Consider who will be using it once you've completed it.

02:14Is it a close second group of skilled designers or a broader group within the organization?

02:20If it's a creative company with talented designers in-house,

02:25you might design a system with more variables and options with a broader color palette,

02:30more typographic choices, and different approaches to imagery.

02:34Providing skilled designers with creative freedom ensures

02:38they are less likely to stray from your system.

02:41Conversely, if the client has no in-house design team

02:45or will hand the identity system to a wide range of partners,

02:49it may be wise to create a more stringent system.

02:52Limit the color palette to one or two options.

02:55Use only one typeface and one style of images.

02:59The goal is consistency and maintaining the brand message.

03:03Fewer options help create a cohesive style with a lower risk of visual inconsistencies.

03:09Maintaining an identity system and brand message leads to easy recognition by the audience.

03:15If the message is simple and clear, and the visual language is unique and compelling,

03:21the audience will eventually recognize the brand even without the logo or product.

03:26In our world, where millions of visual messages compete for attention,

03:32this is essential for a company's success.
