To begin with, it is important to know that the corporate identity, just as individuals’ personality, is the image with which your company can be identified. A company’s corporate identity is the group of attributes and values a company has: its “personality”, its reason of being, its spirit and soul. The image reflected by the “company’s personality” will make the company identifiable and different from the rest and it will also determine its importance in the business world. Corporate identity is the group of pieces, aspects, ideas, methods and techniques that your brand needs to be identifiable. Your company’s corporate identity can be formed by many of the pieces that form a communicational style: logo, letterhead, business cards, folder, inserts, envelope, etc.

A corporate identity program is a system of signs that involves a combination code and criteria that, together, are the structure of the identity. This means that it is necessary to form a precise regulation for the program to be inserted in the different supports of communication. A strong identity strengthens your brand, becoming recognizable to the target audience. It’s advisable to begin with the creation of a logo or company brand since the development of the identity will depend on them. The logo will be present in all the pieces that form the corporate identity system.

The logo eventually includes the institutional colors of the brand, and the complete corporate design is based on them. The corporate identity is a strategic way to make the image that the rest perceive fit in with the image the company wants to convey. In conclusion, it is the visualization of your corporate strategy. Every company continuously conveys messages to its surroundings even if they do not communicate anything at all. The visual image is one of the most important means that businesses constantly use to convey and manifest their identity.

The corporate identity is a system of communication that is incorporated to the company’s global strategy and it is present in all its manifestations, productions, properties and activities.
