corporate identity
Firm's visual signature
Corporate identity is the visual and stylistic elements that represent a company or organization—logos, color schemes, typography, and design language used consistently across materials.
A strong corporate identity makes a brand instantly recognizable: The redesign unified their corporate identity across all platforms.
The term extends beyond visuals to encompass how an organization presents itself publicly, including tone and messaging.
