Branding
Branding is all about the ways that you identify a picture of your business in your customers’ eyes. It’s the impression that pops into their minds once they hear your business name.
Adding value is the beginning of each of our processes. We believe in the value hidden behind every brand and that is what we are aiming for. The price defines what you earn, but it is the value that defines what you get. Identifying that value is the main goal and basis of every gain, for us of 226Lab.
BRAND STRATEGY
Strategic branding seeks to deliver on the brand promise, create awareness and make deep connections.
BRAND DESIGN
Identity design should always reflect on the brand’s uniqueness, differentiation and value.
Logo Design
Our company logo design process considers the end application requirements of each logo. Company logos that are only seen online have different design requirements to a brick and mortar business needing a logo for signage & traditional print. For the best logo design your logo must work for where it will be used. For this reason we display logo ideas using mockups that show variations on designs during the logo review process.
Brand Refresh
Do you have an existing business logo design? 226Lab will refresh your company logo and your brand identity to handle all application requirements.
We’re passionate about our creative brand strategy process and methods we know that work.
BRAND AUDIT
We start by analyzing, auditing and surveying your brand as well as assessing assets for maximum effectiveness.
ANALYSIS
Aligning with the brand perspective, the project moves into in-depth competitive analysis leading to the iterative process of brand development.
Our Branding Process
Our goal is to define, for your business, a recognizable and credible identity, through a customized and structured brand strategy in a series of key points:
- Analysis of corporate identity and expectations, to fully understand the business and build a coherent brand;
- Competitor analysis, to identify your strengths and project them into the company image;
- Definition of the Brand Character, that is the set of characteristics that distinguish a brand;
- Brand Architecture, to develop a communication in line with your Corporate Identity;
- Concept and graphic design of the logo, adaptable to different business contexts (brochures, business cards, site, gadgets, etc.);
- Color analysis and lettering study, these are the essential steps for building a solid identity;
- Restyling and rebranding, intervening on existing logos and CIs with minor adjustments and adaptations to new contexts.
Corporate Identity
Consistency is everything, for a business willing to establish itself on the market. Every inconsistency or deburring is a misstep, and we at 226 Lab will make sure your business is on solid tracks. That’s why we offer to our customers 360° brand identity solutions, to become immediately recognizable, reliable and professional in the eyes of their customers. The image is not everything, but it can mean a lot.
WHAT DOES YOUR CORPORATE BRANDING & IDENTITY SAY ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS?
We are expert at creating and tailoring corporate identities and we can help you create a strong brand that is a good reflection of your company, and that you can be proud of.
We research your competition to ensure you have a corporate identity that seperate yourself from them, and explore several ideas to see how you feel about colour and style variations before deciding on certain elements that allow us to move forward towards a complete finished corporate logo and corporate identity. This can include a strapline or corporate mission statement as well.
