Kaleidoscope has a process in place for all initiatives, and believes that proper planning pays off.
Kaleidoscope will work with your senior team in interactive brainstorming sessions to determine the value proposition and elements that will make up a new brand or strengthen an existing brand. We will use your feedback, combined with research,  to develop “Brand Identity”. This Brand Identity will be enhanced through the development of the “Brand Character”.

In developing the Brand Identity, the house and supporting brands will be developed using the perspectives of:
  • Brand-as-person (often referred to as brand personality)

  •  
  • Brand-as-organization (the attributes of the association)

  •   
     
  • Brand-as-product (product attributes that the brand encompasses)

  •   
     
  • Brand-as-image (the logo and supporting icons)

Components of the Brand Character are indicated below:

Brand Character
There are a number of elements that, together, create a complete brand. Kaleidoscope can develop a complete Brand Character for your organization. components in Brand Character include:

Master Brand is the corporate identity or “House Brand”. This is the legal name however some companies use a shortened form of their name for convenience. The brand will be developed to reflect the identity of the organization in both full colour and black and white and communicate the points of differentiation.

Metaphor is an image that represents a key benefit or value proposition of the Company or is a visual reminder.  For example, we have chosen a kaleidoscope as our metaphor.  Beyond the obvious reason, the kaleidoscope represents the many facets of value we bring to our Clients.  The colour represents innovation, the change of a kaleidoscope represents the ability to see alternate strategies and the movement represents transformation.

Product Brands are the names of products or solutions that the Company offers to your customers. Product brands must be developed within a brand architecture to ensure consistency.

Colour includes the corporate colours and the secondary palette that helps communicate your message and brand. We recommend developing a palette that is powerful and unique so that the visual is a distinct reminder of the organization.

The secondary colour palette is developed to provide additional points of interest and works as a strong accent to the primary colours.

Messages are key value propositions that are delivered to customers, employees and the media. These messages will reflect the unique positioning statements and benefits that the core programs offer to the key target markets.

Imagery is the way a company will visually portray itself. This is sometimes referred to as brand personality. The brand as a person could be confident, sophisticated, savvy, creative, innovative, vibrant or provocative. This will also determine if photography or illustration more accurately represents the brand identity.

Vocabulary and tone indicates how the level and voice of communication should be positioned depending on the target audience. You cannot always assume that your market has English as a first language. 

Typography indicates the accepted fonts and styles are used in your Company’s communications. We will recommend fonts used in the branding in relation to the current standard font. This will include ancillary fonts that are appropriate to the medium.

Trademarks are the legal names registered to your Company, products and programs. Disclaimer language will appear to protect trademarks.
