For example, if you are driving along the expressway and you see the billboard below would you know what business the sign is advertising? Of course, this billboard does not mention McDonald's and doesn't even have their full logo on it but you would instantly know there is a McDonald's at the next exit. By creating, and using, consistent branding throughout all of their advertising channels as well as in their stores McDonald's is able to advertise without even mentioning who they are anymore! Imagine trying this with your business - would people think of your business if you didn't tell them?
Create Your Businesses Brand Book
April 6, 2022
Why does my business need a brand book?
A brand book is a resource that can help ensure your business maintains a consistent brand identity. The brand book, when used correctly, helps ensure that the look and feel of your businesses marketing efforts are consistent and 'on brand'. This consistency will then help your customers recognize your brand.
A brand book helps to maintain consistency
A brand book should be shared throughout the company and with partners in order to maintain consistent delivery of the brand. The brand book will provide the information needed to help deliver consistent branding and marketing throughout your business. For example a brand book can give guidance on which logo to use on a light or dark background, ensure brand colors are used consistently and that the right font is being used (see below!)
The brand book will also provide guidelines to departments outside of the creative wing. This gives non-creatives something to reference and influences consistency throughout the company. We've all done it and seen it, you need to make a sign or create a quick powerpoint presentation for a presentation and the different fonts and colors just start calling your name - before anyone can stop you you've made the cardinal sin of graphic design and used Comic Sans!!!! By referencing the brand book this could have been avoided because you would already know the font that you should be using to be consistent with the business.

How Alive & Well IV Therapy found the right marketing pieces to reach their audience while staying on budget.
At Behind Your Design, we enjoy partnering with businesses that are passionate about what they do. That is exactly what we found while working with Superior Lawn & Landscape. From launching a new website to developing branded merchandise and planning a grand opening celebration, this project focused on supporting the continued growth of a company proud to serve its clients. A Website Designed to Reflect the Brand One of the first steps was creating a website that showcases the professionalism, experience, and range of services Superior Lawn & Landscape offers. The goal was to build a strong digital presence that clearly communicates the company’s capabilities while making it easy for potential clients to explore their services. Clean layouts, organized service pages, and strong visuals guide visitors through the site while highlighting the company’s landscaping expertise and portfolio. The website also incorporates content from clients and partners, allowing real voices and experiences to help tell the story of the brand.

When you're choosing a spring or summer promo item, the real question is simple: Will someone actually use this? If you live anywhere near lakes, boats, kayaks, camping, or summer travel, dry bags are a no-brainer. These aren’t just cute swag items. They’re so functional. You put your phone, wallet, keys, towel, inside, anything you don’t want getting wet. Roll the top down. Clip it shut. It seals everything in. If it falls in the water? Your stuff stays dry. That alone makes it valuable. And here’s what we love about them from a branding standpoint, not many companies are doing them yet. Everyone has water bottles and tote bags. A dry bag stands out. Even better? It actually lives with someone all summer long. In their kayak. On their boat. In their camper. At the beach. At tournaments. On vacation. That’s real visibility. If you're planning a golf outing, marina promotion, summer festival, or outdoor corporate event, this is the kind of promo piece people will thank you for and keep.
