👋 If icons like these can be found on your website, let's talk.
Brand identity starts with a logo, fonts, colors, and contextual images. But it doesn't *stop* there.

🌈 Everything your visitors see is a part of your brand's visual world. And you are the host of that world. Leave no stone unturned. 🌅

Here are some brands doing it well. 👇
@hello_iamelliot is an ecommerce SaaS business. They have every excuse to put design on the backburner.

Yet their launch video is chock full of high-impact iconography that expands their brand ID. (For comparison, @Shopify)

Elliot is screaming: WE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD.
@Allbirds. I want you to take a look at their logo, and notice the angular, bold b&w linework with those round curves and soft edges.

This linework carries throughout all their iconography, reinforcing their position as modern, consistent, and full of character.
@baboontothemoon turns the entire concept on its head—with no copywriting at all.

While others would have utilized three icons to convey Versatile, Technical, & Radical, they've produced high-concept editorial photos that communicate their adventurousness 100x more effectively.
Some of the best, though, don't need icons or photos. They're masters of negative space. (ref: @getmaude)

Ask yourself: do I really need an icon here?
Not all of us have a brilliant designer in our midst to help.

But, I believe there's always room to improve by examining landing page flows and asking: could this do a better job of communicating our personality?
