Pro Tip: Stay Cohesive
When you’re choosing physical items to represent your brand, consistency is key. Think beyond just slapping your logo on something. Consider color palette, typography, tone, and the overall feeling you want your customer or client to experience when they open a package, receive a gift, or walk into a branded event.
With the right resources, your visual identity can go far beyond your website and become a tangible part of your brand experience.
