How do you stand apart from your competitors visually? How do you develop a brand identity that tells a consistent, coherent story without saying a word? Why is visual branding important?

There's a lot of confusing, misleading information about branding. So, let's break it down.
What is Brand Identity?
Your brand identity is defined by how your audience perceives you.

A long-standing analogy is to view your brand as a person. Let's take it one step further and view your brand as a friend to your audience. And, instead of seeing your audience as a nameless, faceless crowd, focus on the one, ideal person that you're targeting, or befriending, with your brand.

In order to make friends with that person, you need to positively influence how they see you. And, that person will continue to be friends with you if you share the same values, enrich their lives in some way, and are consistent.

A brand that excel at this is Starbucks.

Using Instagram, the coffee giant finds and regrams photos of Starbucks enthusiasts. It echoes a message that the brand listens to and cares about its community- which is key for a brand that positions itself as a neighborhood hangout with attentive customer service.

I know you're thinking, that's nice, but what does this have to do with visual branding?
What is Visual Brand Identity?
Visual branding is how you show the type of friend you will be. Use it to influence your audience's perception of you.

For example, if I check out your Instagram page, and see it filled with fun, behind-the-scenes photos of your office, it may tell me that employee happiness is important to you. If I see nature images paired with inspiring quotes, I may feel that you value encouragement and motivation.

You can, and should, use visual clues to suggest abstract ideas.

Are you authoritative, feminine, irreverent, acerbic, fancy, playful? Nothing answers that question quicker than a visual.

When I visit your website, your color choices, the size of your text, and the mood of your design tells me exactly how to feel about your brand.

This is why visual branding is so important. Whether you're knowingly influencing it or not, your audience is defining your brand. If the visual that you're conveying does not match your values, it will disappoint, confuse, and alienate your audience. For example, I'm not quite sure how to feel about an accountant who uses this font:

The style of this font makes the brand feel like a joke. That's fine if your brand is related to humor, but there's nothing funny about my money, so I definitely would not trust this accountant, despite what the text says.

As you can see, a visual brand identity is more than just photos. It's the sum total of everything your audience can see when they look at you. Together, all of those visual elements tell a story. That story can re-affirm your values or take away from them.

The good news is that building your visual brand identity is easy to do. Let's take a look at 20 easy ways to influence how your audience perceives your brand. Answer these questions, and by the end of this guide, I promise you'll have a better understanding of your visual brand identity.

01. Who is Your Audience?

Defining your audience is the first step to building a successful visual brand identity. If you don't know exactly who you're speaking to, you won't know what to say. Think of it this way, who should want to be friends with your brand?

Get specific with these questions: Age, Gender, Location, Income, Marital Status, Occupation, Education Level. Depending on your product or service, it may be helpful to define ethnicity. For example, if you sell chemical hair relaxers, it's important to target your ethnicity.

If you're struggling with this exercise, take a look at your competitor's audience on social media. Who is active and who responds? You can find out a lot about who the audience is by the questions they ask and the posts that they like or retweet.

02. How Do You Offer Value?

You should also understand what makes your ideal audience tick. Why would your audience buy your product? What is the void that you fill? Is it entertainment or advice?

If you are a life coach, maybe your ideal customer is an overworked mom who's desperately searching for meaning and clarity about the future. Now, how do you present your brand in a friendly, visual way that shows you have the answer to her problem? As a life coach, you may dedicate a portion of your website to testimonials of happy clients. Be sure to include a photo as a human touchpoint.

Marie Forleo is a master of this. She has a page on her site entitled " Praise " with a seemingly endless stream of success stories. Her visual brand identity becomes a composite of all the people she's helped to live their best lives.

03. How Do You Visualize Your Personality?

Once you understand who your audience is and what you have to offer, the challenge becomes the how. How do you present our personality visually? In on online world, many brands face the challenge of expressing personality without actually interacting face to face. Whereas before your sales team or customer service would put a human face on your brand, online has created a barrier.

This barrier is even steeper if you're planning on using text-only to woo your audience.

Obviously, I love text, but when building and promoting your brand identity, there's more to the story than just writing words.

Using visual references, you can add tone to your words. Let's look at these examples:

The Color Run shows that it's an upbeat event with the colorful choices. It's hard to look at this site without feeling energized.

Conversely, Land Rover shows us that the brand rugged and serious, maybe a little gentlemanly.

You can tell that these sites offer two different personalities. One site is playful and the other is more serious. How do you know? Imagery choices, photo filters, and color schemes.

Consider how you can play up the images on your site to bring out the key points of your personality.

04. How Do You Find the Emotion?

A surefire way to reach your audience is through emotion. Does your brand tell a story that will move your customers in some way?

P90X knows how to stir emotion in their customers. Targeting couch potatoes, P90X shows you what's possible if you get off the couch and start doing pull ups. Within 90 days, you're transformed into a fat-burning, muscle bursting machine. Are you pumped? Are you ready to put down the potato chips and make life happen instead of watching it go by!? You can do it! (That's the emotion behind the P90X brand.)

05. How Often Should You Tell Your Story?

Once you have a narrative, tell it over and over again.

Armstreet specializes in Medieval, Renaissance, and fantasy clothing. The photos that sell their clothing features models in full costume, posed against a dreamy, slightly blurred background. The brand keeps their minimalist logo on the bottom right of the images. Take a look at Armstreet's Twitter page. The timeline is filled with professional images call to mind childhood fairy tales. It's a narrative that Armstreet constantly, and successfully, repeats.

The way to get recognized as a brand leader is crafting the perfect story and then telling it again and again to anyone who will listen.

06. Do You Keep It Simple?

Your visual identity does not need to be complicated. When you have too many things going on, you run the risk of confusing your audience. At the risk of seeming underwhelming or unexciting, remove everything from your visual identity that does not contribute to your brand persona.

07. Do You Keep it Consistent?

Jeweler Laura Bezant offers a distinct visual style on her brand website.

When I visit Laura Bezant's Instagram, I get images in a similar tone.

Sun-washed images with all the same color story.

Consistency lies in applying the same filter, the same size, the same font type across your visual platforms. It creates cohesion, so that if a customer follows you on Facebook instead of Instagram, they still get the same story.

08. Are You Easy to Understand?

Your visual story shouldn't be so esoteric that I have to perform a Vulcan mind meld in order to understand your brand message. If I stumble upon your site, will I know what you offer? Observe:

If I come across this page, I hope you're selling hamburgers and not weight loss advice.

Your visual branding should make sense with your identity.

09. Do You Speak the Language?

When you're on social media, you should be fluent in the conversation. For visual branding, it's key to find the appropriate content for your audience on each platform. For example, Pinterest appeals to advice, DIY, and helpful tips and tricks. The images you post on Pinterest should be in someway actionable by your audience. You want them to pin it for increased exposure, but you also want them to click through to your site.

Facebook and Google+ is all about community. You should use these platforms to start conversations with your audience, and gage interests to further develop your brand.

On Twitter, short bursts of commentary, shameless self-promotion, and catchy imagery is the language. Instagram is suited to slices of life.

When creating visuals for your social media persona, we've created automatic templates for each platform. Instead of agonizing over image dimensions, start a new design with our pre-configured dimensions.

10. How Do You Brand on Social Media?

Use the opportunity on social media to become human to your friends, followers, and customers. It's important to use every square inch of real estate to perfect your persona. Take a look at what these brands created on Pinterest.

Creating a cover image for your boards makes it easier for your audience to engage with you. This practice also ties in with consistency.

11. Are You Confused About Logo?

You are not your logo. Although a logo is great to have, it has no intrinsic meaning by itself. Eventually, as you develop your brand identity, your audience will come to associate your brand with your logo, and transfer all of their perceptions about you onto your logo.

Now, that doesn't mean you should not worry about your logo. But, strive to keep it simple, and let the colors agree with your core branding message (more about that later).

12. Are You Using the Right Font?

Words may be exempt from visual branding, but not typography. Fonts help convey your tone. I learn a lot about your brand based on the font you choose.

13. Are You Using the Right Colors?

Colors are everything when it comes to visual branding. There's a psychological attachment to each color. Observe:

I suggest to stick with a two color maximum for the visual branding of your logo, website, and stationery. If you use photos on social media, they will probably feature more than two colors, but you can create consistency when you add the same filter to your photos. Finding the perfect color story harmonizes your brand.

So, what does each color say?

A blue color scheme says that you can be trusted. Many banks use blue to convey this message, including Barclays, Chase, and Citibank.

Purple is often associated with creativity and luxury. You should use this color if you're slightly on the fringes or a true original.

Red is passionate and bold. Along with sister colors orange and yellow, red grabs attention.

Green is eco-friendly and fresh. It symbolizes growth. It's a no-brainer for natural products to use this color.

Black is great for authoritative sites. It's also a sophisticated color that works well with established brands.

14. Have You Considered Black and White?

Regardless of what color you choose for your branding, you should always consider what your style elements would look like in black and white. If it doesn't look good printed, it's probably not a wise choice for fixed design elements, including logos. Think about how your branding would look printed on an invoice. Will it still read true?

15. Do You Interact for Feedback?

The beauty of social media is that you can interact with your audience. Don't let that go to waste. Run photo contests on Instagram or create a group board on Pinterest and invite followers to contribute to a specific team. Use these visual clues to understand what are your audience is interested in.

16. Have You Created A Template?

It can be useful to go with a template for your images. This adds to your consistency. Decide what style of images you'd like to add to blog or social media. Also consider the perfect size, what filter to use, the placement of your overlay text, and the font type, too. Create a standard template for you and your team to follow.

17. Do You Keep a Preference Library?

One of the best ways to keep track of your visual brand identity is to keep a library of your exact specifications. You should always use the same fonts, sizes, colors, and image types. This is referred to as your style guide, and we have a primer on creating one for your blog here. You can easily create a visual reference guide in Canva that shows you the primary colors you will use in your branding. You can also mock up the way your images should look.

This is especially useful if you have guest bloggers who contribute to your blog. This leads me to the next question.

18. Have You Unified Your Team Around Your Brand?

Sometimes your team consists of you, your boyfriend who helps out part time as a web designer, and a bowl of M&Ms, but it's never too early to define your visual identity and make sure that everyone is onboard. Like we did on the prior tip, be sure to create a template and share it with everyone who will contribute to your visual branding.

19. Are You Relatable?

In your visual branding, you need to show off how accessible you are. Your audience needs to feel connected to you. The best way to be relatable is to be transparent. The more honest and raw you are, the more authentic you become, and the easier it is for people to identify with you.

20. Are You Forgetting About Video?

A great way to craft your visual branding is through video. According to Forbes Insight research, 59% of senior executives would rather watch a video than read text. And, of those people, most of them will click through to your website for additional information.

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. That's because videos entertain us, and help us understand a product or service. Let's look at a few companies that are winning video branding.
Fair Companies
Video producer Kirsten Dirksen has amassed an enviable YouTube following with her growing library of mini-documentaries. She shares videos of simple and alternative living, including tiny homes. Her videos are generally longer than 10 minutes and feature high def quality. Her simple "faircompanies.com" logo is located on the bottom right of each video.
Sick Science
Just like Fair Companies, Sick Science prefers to keep their logo in the bottom right of the video screen. Sick Science is a brand geared towards kids and demonstrates quick and simple science experiments. Most videos are two minutes or less. The large, easy-to-read texts used in the videos also translates to an organized visual library.
Shameless Maya
Shameless Maya is a social media experiment by Maya Washington. She's a photographer and artist, and her brand is a ray of sunshine, motivation, and positivity. She releases vlog-style videos that share inspiration and slices of life. She also uses bright and colorful thumbnail organizing on her uploads page.

The videos show a security officer removing the unidentified man from his seat and dragging him off the plane as he screams. The flight was scheduled to depart O'Hare International Airport in Chicago for Louisville, Ky., at 5:40 p.m. but was delayed two hours.

- Tyler Bridges (@Tyler_Bridges) April 9, 2017

Charlie Hobart, a United spokesman, said in a telephone interview on Monday that "we had asked several times, politely," for the man to give up his seat before force was used.

"We had a customer who refused to leave the aircraft," he said. "We have a number of customers on board that aircraft, and they want to get to their destination on time and safely, and we want to work to get them there.

"Since that customer refused to leave the aircraft, we had to call" the police, and they came on board, he said.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said in a statement on Monday that the incident "was not in accordance with our standard operating procedure" and that an officer had been placed on leave pending a review of the matter. The department declined to identify the officer.

Airlines routinely sell tickets to more people than the plane can seat, counting on several people not to arrive. When there are not enough no-shows, airlines first try to offer rewards to customers willing to reschedule their plans, usually in the form of travel vouchers, gift cards or cash. The arrangement - which is usually negotiated before passengers board the plane - can be lucrative to flexible travelers and is crucial for airlines to maximize profit.

"A bakery doesn't want to have a lot of extra pastries at the end of the day they have to throw out," said Seth Kaplan, managing partner at Airline Weekly, an industry publication. "To an airline, an empty seat is basically the same thing as stale bread. It's something they can never sell again."

But involuntarily bumping passengers is rare. In 2016, United involuntarily denied boarding to 3,765 of its more than 86 million passengers on oversold flights, according to the Transportation Department. An additional 62,895 people voluntarily gave up their seats.

The event on Sunday was the second social media stir for United in two weeks. In March, two girls were barred from a flight because they were wearing leggings, which the company said violated its dress code for a benefit for United employees and their dependents. Critics called the policy sexist and overbearing.

On Sunday, Mr. Bridges said that when he arrived at the gate about 20 minutes before boarding, United had announced that the flight was overbooked; the airline was offering $400 vouchers to anyone who would give up their seat, Mr. Bridges said.

As the passengers boarded the plane, "there was no indication anything was wrong," Mr. Bridges said.

An airline employee came on board and said United needed four people to get off, Mr. Bridges said, adding that the airline had by then increased its incentive to an $800 voucher. The airline later said that it offered up to $1,000 in compensation.

Mr. Hobart, the United spokesman, confirmed that United sought passengers willing to give up their seats with compensation but that none stepped forward.

Another United employee told passengers that the plane would not leave until four people got off, Mr. Bridges said. The employee specified that the airline had four United employees who needed to get to Louisville, he said.

Four passengers were selected to be bumped, and three left without incident, Mr. Hobart said.

Mr. Hobart would not say whether the bumped passengers were chosen by a computer, an employee or some combination of the two. But factors can include how long a customer would have to stay at the airport before being rebooked, he said, and the airline looks to avoid separating families or leaving unaccompanied minors.

A United employee first approached a couple who appeared to be in their mid-20s, Mr. Bridges said, and the pair begrudgingly got off the plane. Then the United employee went to a man five rows behind Mr. Bridges and told him he needed to get off the plane. Mr. Bridges said the man told the employee: "I'm not getting off the plane. I'm a doctor; I have to see patients in the morning."

Mr. Hobart said: "We explained the scenario to the customer. That customer chose not to get out of his seat."

The United employee then told the man that if he did not get off the plane, she would call security. As she turned to leave, the man shouted after her, Mr. Bridges said. Specifically, he said, the passenger complained that he had been singled out because he was Chinese.

"It was really intense, really uncomfortable," he said.

The situation also became uncomfortable for the United employees who then got on board and took the vacated seats, Mr. Bridges said. They were berated by passengers and told they should be ashamed, he said.

The man who had been removed returned to the flight briefly, Mr. Bridges said. Video shows him jogging through the aisle, repeatedly saying, "I have to go home."

Jayse Anspach, a seminary student who was also on the flight, said that when the man returned to the plane, he ran toward the back. It was not clear how the man had managed to board again.

At one point, the authorities and medics surrounded the man and gave him tissues for his mouth, which was bleeding, Mr. Anspach said. Eventually the man moved to the front of the plane and collapsed sideways into a seat before being taken off the plane on a stretcher, Mr. Anspach said.

- Tyler Bridges (@Tyler_Bridges) April 10, 2017

In a statement, Oscar Munoz, the chief executive of United Airlines, called the episode "an upsetting event."

He said the company apologized for having to "reaccommodate" the customers.

"Our team is moving with a sense of urgency to work with the authorities and conduct our own detailed review of what happened," he said. "We are also reaching out to this passenger to talk directly to him and further address and resolve this situation."

In a statement, United said, "We apologize for the overbook situation."

Andrew D. Gilman, the chief executive of CommCore Consulting Group, a crisis communications firm, said the situation would probably make people reconsider whether they wanted to fly United. That could be particularly damaging with business passengers, a lucrative group that is "outraged as much as anybody," he said.

"As somebody who flies hundreds of thousands of miles, I'm saying, 'I thought once I was on the plane, it was my seat,'" Mr. Gilman said. "They unfortunately disrupted a number of certainties that people tend to rely upon, so I think it's a big trust thing."

Mr. Gilman said the episode was "also going to be really hard on their employees for a while."

"It's a hard enough job - high stress, tense people, delays - and now you have people who are suspicious of you," he said. "How they can communicate that they were sincere and meant well is going to be very challenging."
