Brand Identity
Definition
Brand Identity is the collection of all the visual and verbal elements that a company uses to present itself to the world — the logo, color palette, typography, imagery style, tone of voice, and any other consistent visual or verbal cues that make the brand recognizable and distinctive. Brand Identity is the outward expression of the brand's values, personality, and positioning. A strong, consistent Brand Identity helps to build brand recognition, trust, and loyalty among consumers.

The new logo is more modern and versatile. The color palette has been updated to feel more contemporary while retaining a connection to your heritage. The typography is clean and confident. And the imagery style is more authentic and human — real people in real situations, rather than the overly polished stock photography you've been using."
