WHY BRAND IDENTITY?
Staying true to the brand multiplies the impact of each individual asset.
Most teams do not have the capacity to manage their brand consistently. The result: every department interprets colours, tone and visual language differently. Every campaign starts from scratch. Every new employee asks where the brand guide is. And when they find it, it’s a PDF from 2019. pechschwarz® develops brand identities as living systems that teams can actually use.

Success stories
This is how a strong brand identity works in practice.
Our process
From strategy to a living system.
Strategy Check
Is the brand strategy clear? If not, that’s where we’ll start. An identity without a strategic foundation won’t work, no matter how good the design is.
Moodboards & Directions
Two to three visual directions as a starting point. No endless cycle of revisions, but clear decisions with specific feedback.
Core Identity Design
Logo, colour scheme, typography, basic principles. The visual foundation on which everything else is built.
Extended System
Visual identity, icon system, motion guidelines, sub-brands and examples of use across all relevant touchpoints.
Verbal Identity
Tone of voice, messaging framework, claims, dos and don’ts with specific examples. What does your brand sound like, not just what it looks like?
Brand Guide & Portal
Digitally documented, available in real time, with assets available for download. Not just a PDF in an archive, but a system that your team actually uses.

Questions on the subject of brand identity.
The costs depend on the scope of the project. A logo and the basics start in the mid-five-figure range. A complete brand identity, including a visual and verbal system, costs more than that. If a digital brand portal is included, the cost is correspondingly higher. The scope is clearly defined during the discovery call.
A logo and basic elements take three to six weeks. A complete brand identity takes six to ten weeks. With a digital brand portal, it takes ten to fourteen weeks.
A comprehensive brand identity comprises a logo system, colour palette, typography, visual language and art direction, tone of voice, messaging framework and a brand guide setting out rules for use. The visual and verbal systems go hand in hand and should be developed as a single entity.
Branding describes the entire process of building and managing a brand. Brand identity is the visible and audible result of this process: how a brand looks, sounds and feels. Branding is the strategic framework; identity is its implementation.
Corporate design (CD) encompasses the visual elements of a brand: logo, colours, typography and imagery. Corporate identity (CI) is the overarching term and, in addition to visual design, also encompasses corporate behaviour, communication and corporate culture. Brand identity is the more modern term for the integrated visual and verbal brand system.
The three classic pillars of corporate identity are corporate design (visual identity), corporate communication (how a company communicates) and corporate behaviour (how a company acts and presents itself). All three pillars must work together consistently to ensure that a brand comes across as credible and recognisable.
Yes, very often. A new phase of growth, a new target audience, or an identity that no longer fits with the brand as it stands today. Rebranding is often the right time to undertake a comprehensive identity project.
Yes. You will retain ownership of the source files in Figma or the agreed format, all export formats and the complete brand guide.
A digital brand portal is a live version of your brand guide. Teams and partners can access it at any time, download assets and look up usage guidelines. Unlike a PDF, it can be updated and is genuinely usable.
Ideally, yes. An identity without a strategic foundation results in visual decisions being made without justification. If there is no strategy in place, we begin with a strategy review as part of the project.
