There is more to effective design than just producing a good logo, though that is a good place to start. Here we suggest five essential areas in which to use graphic design to build your corporate identity and brand.

Logo Design:-

The first place most people start when designing their brand, the logo is a symbol that aims to express a company’s values, ideology and spirit, all in one memorable pocket-sized image. This is where graphic design meets intuition and vision, to capture the feel of the brand. It’s crucial to get this right, as the rest of the graphic design and brand building grows from here.

Business cards and Stationery Design:-

The same applies to your stationery and other printed materials. Good designers will create a whole design package that applies a unique integrated look to your brand.

Good graphic designers will create a brand identity for your packaging, while still designing different looks to distinguish different products and product lines.
