A common misconception among startup businesses is that branding is about creating a logo or the visual design of your brand.
โฃ
The logo is just one part of branding.

As Marty Neumeier said: "๐ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ โ ๐ช๐ตโ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ข ๐ด๐บ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ญ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ. ๐ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฐ."

Branding is the process of building a unique identity and shaping a perception of your brandโsomething that goes beyond just the logo.
โฃ
It involves your story, your message, how you communicate with your customers, the experience they have with your brand, and everything else that contributes to their overall impression.
โฃ
Branding also involves..
โฃ
โข Perception: How your audience views your business.
โข Values: The principles and mission driving your brand.
โข Customer Experience: Every interaction someone has with your brand.
โข Emotional Connection: The feelings and associations your brand evokes.
โฃ
Itโs the big picture of what people think, feel, and say about your business.
โฃ
Branding has many components because itโs a process and a long-term strategy to build the perception you want for your brand.
โฃ
And it is a strategy for how you present yourself to your customers.
โฃ
The logo and visual designs are created as part of this overarching strategy.
