People always think the two to be the same.
A logo may be the first point of communication
between an organisation and its customers.
But, it is not the brand itself.
It is usually a cooler sounding name
for a symbol that acts as a face of the company.
Or a series of symbols – who wants a static logo these days?
A logo doesn’t always have to be
a literal representation of the company.
A film company doesn’t need to have a camera as a logo.
What’s important is
that the logo connects with your customers,
it is simple, easy, sticks to the mind,
it’s like-able,
maybe causes some disturbance.
What is also important is that
that your logo is not boring.
Remember it goes everywhere your business goes.
Take care to get a good one.

Its all in The Packaging.
Not ALL, but certainly a lot is in the packaging.
We’ve all been guilty of buying things because the box looks nice.
The box is what you see of a product, before you decided buy the product.
The box implies:
The little details on the box;
How the box looks on your website;
What the box says;
What it feels like;
How like-able it is;
Assuming your product comes in a box, that is.
If it doesn’t, it’s even more important to design its packaging well.
It could be an idea that you need to package;
A policy;
A person;
Your brand;
You.
Good packaging is a simple way to gain some competitive edge.
And complicated in the details that need to work seamlessly for a
packaging to be attractive.
Consider these simple factors when you’re
looking to design packaging for your products.
1. Brand Identity: Is it reflecting your brand effectively?
2. Visibility: The human mind and eye innately
have the capacity to differentiate between ordinary and different.
3. Information: Does it say the right things.
4. Protection: And for all practical reasons,
Packaging is what saves a product from wear and tear in handling.
It matters, a lot how a particular product lands on a consumer’s lap
and this impacts consumer perception of the brand.
In the end, packaging is a major reason that helps
a person decide to buy or not, giving it a competitive advantage.
