• Typography. Fonts communicate tone, such as serif typefaces for tradition and sans-serif fonts for a clean, modern look.
• Color Palette. Strategic colors evoke specific emotions and help a brand stand out from competitors.
• Shape and Form. Basic geometry carries psychological weight, where circles suggest unity, squares project stability, and triangles imply motion.
• Logo Type. Brands choose between wordmarks (text only), pictorial marks (icons), lettermarks (initials), mascots, emblems, or combination marks.
