Visual Identity

Visual identity is the complete visual system a brand uses to present itself. It includes elements like logo, color palette, typography, imagery, and layout working together as a cohesive whole.

Why it matters
A strong visual identity helps people recognize and remember a brand quickly. Consistent visuals create trust, signal professionalism, and make communication easier to absorb at a glance.

What visual identity is not
Visual identity is not just a logo or a color choice. Without consistency and structure, individual design elements lose meaning and recognition.
