How to Create a Memorable Brand Identity in 5 Steps

Your brand identity is the backbone of every touchpoint—logo, website, social, packaging. Here’s a simple five-step process you can follow today.

Step 1: Define your foundations

Write down purpose, mission, values, and audience. Use one sentence each.
Tip: Interview 3 ideal customers and note the words they use.

Step 2: Build your verbal identity

Choose a tone of voice (e.g., warm, expert, playful). Create 3 example phrases you would actually use.

Step 3: Design core visuals

Pick a color palette (3–5 colors), 2 typefaces, and logo variations (primary, secondary, icon).

Step 4: Create a simple style guide

Document logo spacing, color codes, fonts, photo style, and do/don’t examples. Keep it to 2–4 pages.

Step 5: Apply consistently

Update your website, social templates, email signatures, and proposals. Consistency creates trust.
