What is the purpose of full brand identity architecture
The purpose of the Identity Guide is to ensure the total quality and consistency of the corporate brand and reinforce the advantages of using specific marks of identity to clarify the brand to key audiences and industry segments. The coordinated family of marks of identity, used in conjunction with consistency, applied color, typography, images, and other elements, will provide the visual communications of the corporate brand with unity, focus, and a clear reflection of the spirit of the brand. What the Logo Represents is a section at the beginning of the guide, giving the thought process of the meaning of the logo in great detail.
