Choosing Your Rebranding Strategy
Before starting to make any changes to your brand’s visual identity, you’ll have to first develop a strategy that will guide your rebranding efforts. Start by deciding if you want to change your identity completely or if you only want to make minor changes and upgrades to your logo.
Partial Rebranding
Partial rebranding is a great strategy for brand’s that have been in the business for years and are recognized for their positive qualities. Since you don’t want to lose these positive associations, minor changes to your business logo may be all that’s needed to update your image.
Complete Rebranding
Changing your company’s image completely is a large step that requires some serious planning. This goes beyond just updating your brand’s color palette or logo design and can include things like changing the company’s name and a complete overhaul of your social media pages and website.
Color increases brand recognition by up to 80%.
