From the colour palette and typography to your tone of voice and imagery choices, they encompass everything your brand is about. Get them wrong and it leads to a disconnect between the image you want to convey and how it\u2019s perceived by your audience. Get them right and they define what you are all about before a word of your message or even your brand name is read (eg Nike swoosh).<\/p><p>For start-ups and small businesses, creating a strong visual identity is crucial for gaining traction and strengthening brand recall. A set of brand guidelines will build a cohesive image from the ground up, covering every external and internal facing digital and print asset. The key here is consistency.
