“It’s a visual world and we respond to visuals”
~ Joe Sacco
As the acclaimed comic journalist Joe Sacco aptly states, visual communication holds immense significance. Among the various mediums of communication, visual learning continues to be recognized as the most powerful form. In this blog, we will delve into the significance of visual branding and its role in establishing a lasting brand identity.
When we speak of a big yellow ‘M’ against a red background, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? McDonald's, right? This exemplifies the power of visual communication—a compelling visual often has a greater impact than any other form of communication. There is a lot of discussion and buzz surrounding the branding efforts of major companies. To distinguish themselves, brands employ minimalist and creative concepts to craft a visual identity that leaves a lasting impression on people's minds.
But First…. What is Visual Branding?.
Visual branding refers to the strategic use of visual elements, such as logos, colors, typography, imagery, and design, to represent and communicate the essence of a brand.
To put in easy terms visual branding is “what you see is what you get.”
