A memorable brand is not created by chance.
Colours, fonts, logo design, communication and the brand story come together within corporate identity. A strong identity is a strategic investment as well as a visual one.

 

This article examines corporate identity examples that support brand awareness, taking inspiration from established brands and offering ideas you can apply to your own.

 

🎯 What is corporate identity?

 

Corporate identity presents a brand’s visual, audio and written expression as a consistent system.
Its main elements include:

  • The logo and its variations

  • Colour palette

  • Typefaces

  • Brand language and tone

  • Materials such as business cards, letterheads and email signatures

  • Social media visual templates

💡 A consistent identity helps the intended audience distinguish you from others.

1. IKEA: a simple, consistent design language

  • Colour: yellow and blue

  • Typography: straightforward sans-serif type
