Corporate Graphic Design and Identity

Just as each and every individual has to have an identity linked to his or her country, religion, education and gender etc., in a similar way, any company needs to project an image of itself for the benefit of its customers. This is called corporate identity and is commonly viewed as being composed of the three components namely – • Corporate design (logos, uniforms, etc.) • Corporate communication (advertising, public relations, information, etc.) • Corporate behaviour (internal values, norms, etc.)

We are concerned with the first of the three points, i.e. corporate design. The job of producing an appropriate design falls on graphic designers. The job is tougher than it seems. The symbols that have to be designed should encapsulate the products and services offered by the company, the beliefs of the company and any special messages of the company in a few images or series of images.
