Kyle Duford and The Brand Book

About the Book

We wanted to take the mystery out of branding. We were tired of the numerous definitions of brands that contained no substance, and while there are some books on the topic, we wanted to write a primer that would be easy to read and reference.

What's in The Brand Book

A brand is more than a logo.
It's an emotional connection.
Let's build it.

1. What is a Brand?

Lots of people or agencies define a "brand" differently. But, really, what is a brand?

2. Elements of a Brand

There are building blocks for creating an unforgettable brand. They're tangilble, real, and explained for you.

3. Naming a Brand

Naming a brand is more difficult than throwing a few out and voting on your favorite. It's much more detailed.

4. Verbal Identity

Before we look at the visuals, how do we describe a brand? What's its personality, voice, and tone?

5. Visual Branding

Some call it the fun bits. We call it the icing on the cake. Here we define color, typography, and logos.

6. Putting it all Together

Now that we have all the building blocks, it's type to put it all together and get the brand ready for the public eye.
