BRAND“Brand” can be a nebulous concept for some, and it
can also be emotionally charged. Brand combines many
aspects of a company, from external perception (by
the industry, the public and competition) and internal
perception. Brand also encompasses the visual identity
of the company (as well as the name).

”Good infographics or good data design has to begin with a secret or an insight that can only be revealed through the design of that data a particular way.”

“I’m looking into kindergartens for my oldest boy right now, and one of the things we’ve heard is, ‘we teach to the top, and we support the bottom.’ I would like to think of us as doing the same thing, that we’re presenting information to be clear, concise, and comprehensible, but also sophisticated, elegant, and attractive.
“We’re not going to dumb it down because we don’t want to teach to the lowest common denominator. We don’t want to take everyone back down to bargraphs!”
