GBrandingWhy Graphic Standards Matter
As impossible as it is to “control a brand,” graphic standards are a helpful and necessary tool to “guide and infl uence” it. Graphic standards help us achieve clarity, consistency and brand power. They involve every aspect of a brand’s marketing and communication execution to virtually every audience imaginable.
Graphic standards begin with the brand name and logo, but they go far beyond.
They involve design, color, font, tone, style, voice, and yes, a host of technical guidelines. The clearer and more consistent a brand’s messages are, the more powerful the brand becomes.

GThe Value of a BrandA brand is the sum of the good, the bad, the ugly and the off-strategy. It is defi ned by your best product as well as your worst product. It is defi ned by award-winning advertising as well as by the god-awful ads that somehow slipped through the cracks, got approved, and, not surprisingly, sank into oblivion. It is defi ned by the accomplishments of your best employee—the shining star in the company who can do no wrong—as well as by the mishaps of the worst hire that you ever made. It is also defi ned by your receptionist and the music your customers are subjected to when placed on hold. For every grand and fi nely worded public statement by the CEO, the brand is also defi ned by derisory consumer comments overheard in the hallway or in a chat room on the Internet. Brands are sponges for content, for images, for fl eeting feelings. They become psychological concepts held in the minds of the public, where they may stay forever. As such, you can’t entirely control a brand. At best you only guide and infl uence it.Scott Bedbury, author, A New Brand World.
People do not buy products or services. They buy brands. Every day consumers are faced with a barrage of messages and choices. Brands help with those choices. Imagine going into a grocery store and shopping without any brands to guide you. Good brands tell consumers that they made the right choice and won’t be disappointed. In many instances, brands are an extension of the consumer’s persona. Try telling a Pepsi drinker that a store-brand cola is just as good.
