Brand Identity Expression refers to how a brand’s internal strategy is communicated outwardly through specific signals to foster recognition and connection with consumers. It involves multiple tangible elements that reflect the brand’s core values and personality.
Brand Name is the acoustic structure and meaning of the brand’s verbal identity. It should be memorable and meaningful, serving as a primary recognition tool for consumers.
Logo encompasses the visual symbols and typographic elements that visually represent the brand. It includes both the logotype (typographic representation of the brand name) and other visual symbols like icons or images.
Sensory Branding involves the use of auditory, olfactory, taste, and tactile elements to evoke sensory responses aligned with the brand’s identity, enhancing recognition and emotional connection.
Products are the tangible offerings that must deliver on the brand’s promises, embodying its values and personality through their features and quality.
