Colors, fonts, and proportions are specifically chosen to guarantee recognition and readability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All these guidelines are organized and presented in the brand manual: a <strong>crucial marketing tool<\/strong> for logo usage, as it explains how to ensure its recognition and enables a reciprocal transfer of values between the company and the end user.<\/p>\n<p>I think the best way to illustrate the functionality of this \u201clogo bible\u201d is to show you some examples.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the brand manual, you&#8217;ll find several sections<\/strong>, each dedicated to analyzing a key aspect of the brand:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-circular_bold text-[32px] text-deep-turquoise\">Vision and mission<\/p>\n<p>Defining these two objectives (based on the company\u2019s values and aspirations) is very important in order to have a clear understanding of what and how you want to communicate, as well as the direction you intend to take with your business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-458\" src=\"https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-9.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-9-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-9-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-circular_bold text-[32px] text-deep-turquoise\">Configuration<\/p>\n<p>The logo will be applied to a variety of materials, so it requires a <strong>flexible system<\/strong> that includes both<strong> vertical and horizontal solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-459\" src=\"https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-2-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-2-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigaisdesign.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/12\/brand-manual-1024x724-2-1-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-circular_bold text-[32px] text-deep-turquoise\">Structure<\/p>\n<p>The structure of the logo follows a geometry that ensures <strong>readability and compositional harmony.<\/strong> It is built on a <strong>grid<\/strong>, which serves as the foundation of the logo.
