One of the strangest compliments a brand designer can receive is seeing a competitor copy a client’s new look.
I worked on a rebrand last year, and a few months after the new identity launched, one of the client’s direct competitors introduced a very similar colour direction.
I'll keep saying this until it stops needing to be said.
A logo is the entry point. The handshake. The first five seconds of a much longer conversation your business is having with the world. It's not the conversation itself.
