Mesmerizing Impact of Green Colored Brand Identity
What Is Brand Identity?
A brand is the representation of your business, i.e., what the business is all about and what makes it unique. Brand identity refers to how a business wants its brand’s name, its logo and other visual elements to be identified by its customers. In other words, it means how a business wants its consumers to perceive it. In short brand identity is the very essence of every business.
The Importance of Color In Brand Identity
When it comes to how a brand is communicated to customers, color plays a major role. Colors have a powerful psychological impact on the human mind. According to a study, almost 92.6% people are usually of the opinion that as compared to taste, smell and other sensory receptors involved in the purchase of a particular product, color is the No.1 influencing factor that affects their purchase decision. So, color is an important consideration in your brand identity. It is the first thing we notice when we are assessing any brand because it has a significant impact on our emotions. It also affects our ability to concentrate and learn. Besides affecting us emotionally, colors also have psychological, physiological and even sociological effects on us. In short, colors say all about the brand in that they communicate what you’re trying to say about your business.
