How a Design Studio is Redefining Design & Branding for Startups
3 min read“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” –Wayne Gretzy, Hockey Star
What Wayne Gretzy said about ice hockey is equally true for entrepreneurs and startups. While established brands are concerned with what they have already created, startups are more interested in where the puck is going to be, aiming to create something that was never experienced and never seen. It charters to an unknown territory.
The branding, graphics, and content needs of startups are not the same as those of established brands. Their needs are more dynamic and result-oriented as they follow no set templates or precedents.
Most corporates and established brands, on the other hand, have their branding guidelines, personality, tone, voice, vision, and mood, already defined. Also, they have separate teams for PR, marketing, graphics, and so on. So, they need a design studio that works with the set tone and voice and comes up with content.
Startups are different. They are evolving and in the process of creating their branding, defining their vision, and identifying their tone and voice.
And this cannot be done in isolation – it gets affected by every aspect of the startup and in turn affects every aspect of the brand. Therefore, it needs a team that is flexible enough to incorporate dynamic requirements and friendly enough to work as a part of the team as a fellow entrepreneur.
They need someone who can think outside of the boundaries of the corporate boardrooms and create the identity and voice of the brand. After all, boardrooms are too small for creative sparks to fly.
