Having recently asked people what their top questions are about branding and IP (Intellectual Property), I decided to record my answers in this episode.
What are the different ways I can protect my brand?Do I need international protection or is UK protection enough?How do I explain to graphic designers I work with the importance of checking they are not infringing on anyone's IP?How can you be sure that graphic designers you work with hand over the rights to all the assets they create? How can you be sure they have done this fully?What do you regard as the best branding campaign(s) of all time? And why?Do you think the Internet is actually effective for brand building?

In this episode I discuss some thoughts following the recent podcast with Sean Adams, an internationally recognized graphic designer, and the chair of undergraduate and graduate graphic design at Art Center College of Design in California.
Importance of taking clients on the design journeyWhat makes a good logo?When is it the right time to radically change a visual identity?Drawbacks of changing your identityMeasuring brand equity to make identity design decisions
I found Sean's approach refreshingly client focused and empathetic. For example, Sean takes clients on the design journey and explains what he is doing and why.
This collaborative approach, and avoiding a big reveal at the end of the process, is more likely to result in an identity that the client finds acceptable.
I think if the designer can also talk about the IP dimension they would be the ideal adviser to clients. While the word âdesignâ is commonly associated with graphic designers, in truth it includes anyone who advises on business structure. They can help plan how a business should work in all respects, not just visually.
Given that visual identity needs to be permanent Iâm often baffled that designers radically change the visual identity of established businesses just because the businessâ strategy changes.
Surely tweaks to the identity is all that's needed, unless there is something radically transformed about the business. Itâs vital to leave the identifying elements so you donât disturb memory structures.

In this episode, Sean Adams, an internationally recognized graphic designer, and the chair of undergraduate and graduate graphic design at Art Center College of Design in California tells us to succeed with identities without really trying.
Three kinds of identitiesBuilding equity with symbolsChoosing your branding fontsVisual attributesHow to know you have a great designer/ designers sensibilitiesThe cultural impact of color choicesSemioticsCurrent challenges facing designers
Sean Adams is the author of multiple best selling books, including The Designerâs Dictionary of Color.
Brand Identity is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It's a toolkit, an approach to solving problems, an equation. It's not a thing that you can just slap onto your business and hope for the best. You have to understand it and use it correctly in order to succeed with brand identities without really trying.
If you're just starting out, the process can seem overwhelming at first. Where do you even begin? What kind of logo is best for your business? How do you go about creating an identity that speaks to your customers and attracts new clients?
Thereâs no one right answer, but there are three kinds of identities that you need to understand to start with: word mark, monogram, and symbol. Your branding strategy may use one of these approaches, so itâs good to explore them all and know what they mean.
One of the trickiest aspects of branding is building equity over time. If you think about the Apple identity, it has that little bite out of it, which forces you to think a little bit, the more you think, the more it sticks in your head.
Design is an important part of branding. You can't just have a nice logo and expect people to buy your product. You have to make it appealing in other ways too, Branding isn't just about beauty and aesthetic, but it should be how we can make it unique.
We focus on certain colors because they've become emotionally loaded with meaning for us. How do we get those emotional meanings etched into our brand image?

Is being unique your ultimate goal in your business? How, exactly, do you stand out from your competitors and make sure that you remain a purple cow?
A crucial part of a businessâ success is being distinctive and visibly different from its competitors. This is the main objective in creating business brand. Having a recognizable and distinctive name helps ensure you will be able to stand out from the crowd.
Distinctiveness is about the identifiers we use. These identifiers are how consumers recognise brands. They associate them with you. Itâs your name, and brand elements you choose, such as your logo, any distinctive symbols, characters, shapes, sounds, colours etc.When youâre creating your business' brand, understanding what competitors can and can't legitimately copy is key to creating a unique brand. Your focus should be as much on what to create as whether you can prevent copying of the elements you create..
Thatâs why creating slogans and taglines that are ownable is key to protecting our messaging strategy. We stand a greater chance of being associated with the message behind our strategy.
In today's fast-paced world, it is not enough to raise awareness of how we differ. We need to know and understand about intellectual property rights, and how this can help us achieve design choices that set us apart from competitors.In this episode I touch on the laws governing the ownership of ideas and trademarks, as well as how to use them to protect your brand. I discuss:
Two components for a business to stand outDifference between personal and business brandsIntellectual PropertyConcept of distinctivenessPopeye the sailorHow important trademark rights are in protecting business brands Famous personalities and their distinctiveness/uniqueness

In this episode Robin Landa explains strategic creativity.
Brand Identity and how to make it memorable and distinctiveBrand construct and manifestoBasic design principle you need to knowThe idea behind balance design and color associationsSonic brandingHow to identify talent in identity designIntellectual property lawIdentifiers in brand design
Robin Landa is a Distinguished Professor in the Michael Graves College at Kean University. She specializes in advertising ideas and art direction, creative thinking, graphic design and branding and has written bestselling books including Graphic Design Solutions, 6th ed., Build Your Own Brand, and Nimble: Thinking Creatively in the Digital Age.
What's the first thing you think of when you hear the phrase "brand identity"? A logo, color palette, and characters right? But that's only a small part of the story.
To have a successful brand identity be strategically creative. A brand identity is the representation of the brand and it is the strategic position in the marketplace. So, it has to be strategically creative in order to gel with the target audience.
Brand identity does more than just build an imaginary world, it creates a relationship between people who have heard you and made your name part of their lives. A logo mark is more than just a logo. It's the entry point for your brand and its identity. It's your name and the way you're perceived by customers, and it's the foundation for everything else you do. It's what sets you apart from other brands and allows you to stand out from the crowd. It has to be memorable, differentiating, imprinting on people, and most importantly, it needs to be easy to rememberâand ideally, emotionally inspiring.
It's really hard to make a brand identity that is personal and unique when you're working with a company that has thousands of designers and their work is available for all to see. This is why we need to be careful that we don't just lift someone else's work and use it without permission. Brand identity must be unique and personable!

There are many misconceptions when in comes to IP ownership.
In this podcast I outline why it's important to ensure you own what you create for your business. Owning what we do is about retaining control rather than giving away the value of our knowledge and skills.Among other things, that involves understanding the role of names in business, and what is involved to legally own a name.
Failing to focus on ownership shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the interplay between branding and brand protection. The episode touches on:
Why marketers and designers need training in intellectual property.What ownership of names involves. The 2-step process to securing ownership rights in a name.That ownability of brand elements involves making the right choices. The drawback of failing to focus on ownership

In this episode, I talk about brand strategy for start-ups.
Brand strategy is an overused term in the branding industry. I discuss what makes for a good brand strategist and how they can best support businesses.
Sometimes, design is what's needed. Other times it's support to understand which segment to target and how to discover buyers' wants and needs.When working on brand strategy it is essential to be aware that there is a world of difference between the actions you need to take for a start-up to those you would take for an early-stage business to those you would take for an established brand. The work differs, not just because of the size or stage the business has reached but also due to the reason that the business is seeking your support with its brand strategy.
I discuss:
- The different brand strategies
- Proof of concept
- What makes for a good brand strategist
- The different needs that start-ups and early-stage businesses have
- Why choosing names and identifiers needs to be informed by intellectual property law.
