Verlinktes Inhaltsverzeichnis - öffnen

If a company wants to be more than its products and services and convey a positive and memorable brand feeling, a well thought-out corporate identity is necessary. A large part of a company's identity is the visual presentation at all touchpoints; the corporate design. How do you develop a successful corporate design and use it to convey your corporate identity?

THE IDENTITY OF A COMPANY

Corporate identity, i.e. the identity of a company, is the self-image of a company. A successful corporate identity should be reflected in every entrepreneurial action and transaction. Thus, the company should have a recognition value. At trade fairs, eye-catchers such as labels help the company to be remembered. In addition to corporate identity, there is also corporate image. It describes the external image of the company, i.e. how the company is seen from the outside. Ideally, corporate image and identity are identical.

The foundation of the corporate identity is based on the corporate philosophy, the long-term objectives and the image of the company. These elements must be found, developed and analyzed. It is about how the company represents itself externally and internally, how it presents itself and how it behaves. Of course, this is always done with a view to the company's history. Especially traditional companies can use their background and history to present themselves. However, one should never forget to look to the future.

Not only the company itself, but also its competitors, customers as well as employees must be involved and included in the creation of the corporate identity. In order to be able to develop it, the first thing to do is to conduct a detailed analysis of the competition and the industry. How do competitors present themselves, what identity do they embody? The most important thing is to find industry standards. In this way, you can filter out and use your unique selling points. They are essential for corporate identity.

The primary goal of a successfully executed corporate identity is to present the company within a uniform framework. To achieve this, all components of the corporate identity must mesh and harmonize perfectly. The four most important components besides Corporate Language, Philosophy and Soul are:

  • Corporate Behavior - the corporate behavior: What behaviors, internal as well as external, make up the company? It can include factors such as environmental awareness and the company's social and philanthropic interests.
  • Corporate Communications - the corporate communication: How does the company communicate with customers, partners or employees? For example, what do support, service or advisory meetings look like?
  • Corporate design - the corporate image: How does the company present itself visually? Corporate design includes, for example, the appearance and design of promotional items, products or the sales premises.
  • Corporate Culture : What values and norms are implemented during corporate actions and interactions? The corporate culture determines, for example, the way the company works, the rules of cooperation or the treatment of customers.

Advantages and purpose of corporate design

Folding box in corporate designThe corporate design encompasses all communication elements of a company and represents the basis for all visual elements. The corporate design serves to visualize the corporate culture and goals as well as the company's values. In other words, everything that makes up the corporate identity. A corporate identity creates continuity in the actions of a company. As soon as these happen outside the company boundaries, the corporate design helps enormously to continue this continuity. A broad-based corporate design serves to create trust and credibility through uniformity. If a company consistently provides consistent quality and does so in a recurring design, the company's design is equated with the high quality standards of its products. This creates a positive brand feeling.

When designing the products and especially the packaging for products, the corporate design should be applied, in the form of the logo, the color scheme as well as the design elements. For the customer, who has already come into contact with the designs through various touchpoints, everything comes together with the purchase of the product. The company presents itself in a continuously consistent way, making it easier to understand the company's identity. This creates a closer customer bond.

Design

A good corporate design is not created in a hurry. However, it is well worth investing some time in its development. There are many suggestions and tips on how best to proceed. We would like to briefly explain the most important tricks and what you should bear in mind here.

Nachdem man die Ziele und Grundelemente seiner Corporate Identity gefunden und entwickelt hat, geht es daran, ein dazu passendes Designkonzept zu erstellen. Gewisse Eigenschaften der Corporate Identity können eventuell in visuelle Elemente umgeformt werden, die Inspiration oder Grundlage für Designelemente bilden können. Die Designkonzeption sollte möglichst ausführlich sein und alle Elemente der Unternehmenskommunikation mit einbeziehen. Es sollten feste Vorgaben für Typographie, Logos, Designelemente und Farbschemata gemacht werden.

After finding and developing the goals and basic elements of one's corporate identity, the next step is to create a design concept to match. Certain characteristics of the corporate identity can possibly be transformed into visual elements that can provide inspiration or the basis for design elements. The design concept should be as detailed as possible and include all elements of corporate communication. Firm specifications should be made for typography, logos, design elements, and color schemes.

  • Red: enthusiasm, confidence, passion, urgency
  • Yellow: optimism, joy, satisfaction
  • Blue: authority, security, responsibility, strength, refreshment
  • Green: health, rest, growth, relaxation
  • Orange: enthusiasm, warmth, energy
  • Lila: Purple: calming, creativity, luxury
 

A red box can convey enthusiasm, confidence and passion, and the expectations attached to these characteristics are then unconsciously transferred to the product. A product packed in a blue box is therefore associated with safety, strength and refreshment. Therefore, when choosing a color scheme for the corporate design, one should always consider which characteristics of the product the packaging and other advertising materials should convey.

Logo design is one of the most important parts of corporate design. It is what ends up standing out because it appears at almost every touchpoint and is often what is most memorable. That's why it's important to design a logo that is simple in design, but unique. It should pick up the color palette as well as typography of the overall corporate design. When choosing design elements to use on product packaging for embellishments and accents, for example, care should be taken to ensure that they harmonize with the logo.

Since companies today use many different platforms for display, and often in different configurations, care must be taken to ensure that the corporate design can be applied to all touchpoints. It should be suitable for both the stationary view and the mobile view of a company's website, programs and applications. It must also be applicable in digital and analog communication.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CORPORATE DESIGN WITH BEAUTIFUL BOXES FROM LABELPRINT24

The corporate design should be used across all channels and at every touchpoint. During the customer journey, the customer should regularly come into contact with the design. This increases familiarity and recognition. It is particularly important that the customer recognizes the elements of the corporate design in the product and its presentation. Special focus should be placed on the product packaging; it is the only advertising medium that reaches every customer. To ensure the smooth application of the corporate design, companies create so-called corporate design style guides, which describe the corporate design in all its elements and characteristics. Thus, the style guide represents instructions and recommendations for the use of the corporate design.

Corporate design boxes are not only applied as simple product packaging. Depending on the box shape, material or design, beautiful boxes can be used in any way. For example, as a gift box, jewelry box, storage box, bottle box or food packaging.

When developing the corporate design, you should think about how and where it will be used. If you want to apply it to boxes, it should be catchy but still subtle. This way, the beautiful box leaves a lasting impression on the customer and encourages further use, for example as a storage box.
