Rebranding - when and how to do it
Rebranding is more than a new logo. It's a deliberate change of a brand's image, meant to better reflect who you are today and where you're heading. When is it worth deciding on, and how do you carry it out without losing recognition?
How do you know it's time for a rebrand?
- The brand looks outdated next to the competition.
- The offer has changed a lot, while the brand image has lagged behind.
- You're merging or splitting brands, entering new markets.
- The name or brand identity is holding back your growth.
Rebranding step by step
- An audit of the current brand and audience research.
- Strategy: positioning, values, tone of communication.
- A new visual identity: logo, colors, typography.
- Consistent implementation across all touchpoints.
- Communicating the change to customers.
How to avoid losing brand recognition?
The most common mistake is changing everything at once, with no explanation. Good rebranding keeps what's recognizable and valuable, and changes what doesn't work. Sometimes an evolutionary refresh beats a revolution.
