What's the difference between a brand, identity, and logo?
Brand
Your brand is the result of how other people feel about your product, service, or business. It’s a perception that people have based on their experience. It’s your companies overall reputation.
Everything that makes up how your business looks, sounds, feels, tastes, and smells is your brand. It includes everything that you can and cannot touch. We can’t fully control what people feel about us, but we can do our best to make a good impression.
Identity
Your identity (or branding identity) is all of the visual components that make up your brand. It’s what makes you stand out and lets people know who you are. Your identity is made up of visual touch-points like your logo, brand colors, typestyles, icons, patterns, business cards, letterheads, vehicle graphics, so on. When your identity is completed, you will receive a brand style guide that acts as a visual roadmap of your logo and visual elements.
Logo
Your logo is a mark that represents your company in its simplest form. It’s usually an icon, typestyle, or combination of them. The logo is the most recognizable element of a brand identity. It should be simple, recognizable, and appropriate to your brand. A logo isn’t about communicating what you do, it’s about creating a simple mark that identifies who you are.
Do I need a full identity system?
If your business is strictly local and already established with loyal customers then most of them probably won't be offended by what your visual identity looks like.
If you're in an industry that is competitive such as action, entertainment, lifestyle, tech, etc., then having a powerful visual presence can really boost your brand awareness, sales, company morale, and over time- brand equity.
Whether you’re in the early stages or your business is established, having a brand strategy and appropriate visual identity build a strong foundation for future growth.
Do I have to pay a deposit to start?
Yes! When you're ready to move forward, we create a custom proposal for you outlining your project details, objectives, timelines, and pricing.
FocalFuse LLC requests 75% of the overall project fee as a non-refundable deposit for starting the scope of work. We will submit a final invoice for 25% of the project fee upon completion of the deliverables laid out in your proposal.
Any questions or concerns about the invoice must be submitted by email within 7 days of the invoice date. Final payment must be made within net 15 days of invoicing.
Our detail business was struggling to attract the right type of clients. We spent hours deep-cleaning pet hair and nasty stains. Our new brand identity helped us to attract premium clients. Now we're saving time by avoiding the destroyed interiors and servicing only high-end vehicles.
