ReplyDeleteExcellent introduction into the matter of visual branding. The comparison of Nike and Adidas was also the most interesting according to me since it demonstrates that two companies operating on the same market may utilize various visual messages when conveying their brand. The description of logos, colours and typography shows how the elements of design impact on consumer perception and loyalty. Another feature that I enjoy about the blog is its relation of the visual communication to the marketing and emotional branding.
