Brand

In the post-COVID era, people and brands are seeking an opportunity to turn a meaningful new leaf, and it looks like Instagram is the latest member of the visual refresh club.

The last time Instagram visually rebranded was in 2016 when it changed its iconic polaroid logo to its now well-known pink gradient logo.

The 2022 update features three significant changes to the platform’s architecture:

1. A vibrant update to its gradient motif via 3D modelling.
2. The introduction of a brand-new typeface, Instagram Sans.
3. A seamless, full-bleed layout that places community and content before anything else.

Picture two different brands. Brand A and Brand B. Brand A is reliable, safe, and smart; It prefers safety over style and never strays outside of the lines. Brand B is different; it’s inspirational, resilient, cool, and constantly pushes the boundaries of what is achievable, never settling for less. Which brand inspires you? If you were to choose one to identify with, who would you choose? Crafting a powerful brand story is highly important for businesses and, if done correctly, can engage and inspire customers, converting them into loyal advocates.

How do you ensure there is no competition for what you do? The answer is strangely simple and straightforward. Design a brand that can’t be duplicated. Creating a brand isn’t rocket science, yet 99% of businesses fail to take the time, even though it would quadruple their sales.
