Principles of brand design

Strong brand design rests on a few enduring principles. Chief among them is the principle of simplicity and aesthetics: the design should be simple, clear, and immediately comprehensible.

A brand that communicates instantly - through a coherent visual language, considered use of colour and space, and restraint - earns trust faster and travels better across markets and store formats. In retail environments, that clarity must carry from the logo right through to fixtures, signage and the overall spatial experience.
