Brand Design

The interiority – otherwise known as the qualitative experience – of the brand in this design approach can be discovered by means of the unique value proposition, the brand promise, as well as all the qualitative and quantitative criteria of a given brand; all of which are covered by a brand design questionnaire.

Brand design elements can consist of a brand strategy, a brand competitor analysis, a brand name design, a logo design, an invoice and quote template design, a business card design, a letterhead design, an email signature design, and a brand style guide.
