DesignCapital

DesignCapital We turn Businesses into Brands through strategic Graphic Design and Brand Development. And that is because businesses are made up of the people within them.

At Design Capital, we believe that every business, that has a product, service or idea which brings value to its market and ultimately the world, should be turned into a Brand. Every one of these businesses have a unique personality and even in the same market selling the same product, no two brands are the same. When we create a brand, we strive to extract the unique DNA of a business, as this ul

timately dictates what the Brand should be. With this valuable insight, we set about the Brand Development process. We study the market, industry, competitors and target audience, to determine the environment in which the Brand will be competing. Thereafter by addressing the key ingredients that make up a brand namely; colour, composition, shape, concept etc, we set about designing the brand for the business. The goal ultimately, is to create a brand that accurately, appropriately and effectively represents the product, service or idea of the business to its target audience.

Times have changed but the principles haven't. Brand Integrity and Brand Awareness will always be foundational to any business, big or small. At the onset, a brand should be developed and crafted with care. Storefronts and print ads have all but been replaced by websites and social media, respectively. In a competitive landscape, small businesses should leverage these optimally to thrive sustainably.

Some call it a Tagline, some call it a Slogan, but technically it is a 'Positioning Statement' - It is a statement that positions your company in the market, helping the customer understand where it is that you fit in. So many SMEs make the mistake of having some vague line here that leaves the customer wondering, "what on earth does this company do?" The line directly under your logo needs to, in a few words, describe what your company does. Make sure that your Positioning Statement is doing its job and not losing you business :)

As the classic saying goes, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". I can think of no brand that embodies that principle better than Apple. The good news is that you don't need to be a global corporation to benefit from and leverage this principle for your own business! Start with just your brand, and go forward from there.
