The Five Senses of Brand: Sight

How Does Your Brand Look? – Visual Branding

Visual identity in branding.

The importance of visual identity in branding is seen in how successful brands incorporate their look into various aspects of their business.

We’ll look at some brands that have done an excellent job incorporating their visual identity into their branding and explore the role of packaging and store layout in conveying a brand’s image.

Examples of Successful Branding

T-Mobile and Mint Mobile both stand out with their distinct color schemes. T-Mobile’s signature pink and Mint Mobile’s specific shade of green blend well together in tone and visuals.

Walmart and Target also offer an interesting comparison in visual branding. Differences in store layout, aisle size, and cashier placement contribute to distinct shopping experiences.

The Role of Packaging and Store Layout

Signature packaging is crucial for successful brands, as it helps create a recognizable and memorable image. Many store brands are redesigning their packaging to better align with major brands. While some, like Coca-Cola, maintain a consistent look to evoke nostalgia and sustain brand loyalty.

Legacy Brands and Identity

A legacy brand, considered at least 20 years old, often faces challenges in maintaining its identity in the fast-paced modern world. However, many such brands can navigate branding changes without harming their overall reputation and image.

A consistent visual identity is crucial for conveying your brand’s message, creating memorable customer experiences, and making it a profitable investment.
