Brand identity is the collection of visual elements, messaging, and overall personality that distinguishes a brand and makes it recognizable to its audience. This includes everything from logos to typography, all of which work together to create a cohesive and consistent image. The purpose of brand identity is to shape how your brand is perceived, building a connection with your consumers while establishing trust and loyalty.
