Great Collection of Visual Identities

Daniela — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:17:44 +0000

Design a logo is just a part of the process of creating a visual identity. There are so many different applications that we, as designers, have to think about and then design them. That can be business cards, brochures, envelopes and other collaterals. Now, it's very important to have in mind that this process is not simply placing the logo and that's it. Every piece has to be thought and created to commnunicate the goals and image of the company we're designing for.

Corporate visual identity plays a significant role in the way an organization presents itself to both internal and external stakeholders. In general terms, a corporate visual identity expresses the values and ambitions of an organization, its business, and its characteristics. Four functions of corporate visual identity can be distinguished. Three of these are aimed at external stakeholders. - Wikipedia

Below I've selected quite a few references of visual identities I used for inspiration on some of the projects I've been working on. If you want to get more information, click on the images to visit the pages of the authors and learn more about them.

paul0v2 — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:33:21 +0000

Business card is something that represents you or your business when you not there so is very important to have at least a nice business card but these are definitely one of the most creative I have ever seen with great graphic design and crazy ideas for your inspiration.

This is a selection of a research I'm doing my self of really cool and unusual business cards and if you have a cool one or if you know some really nice ones share with us!

Raphael Essoo-Snowdon

The business card of a 3D Modeler/Animator. It couldn't be more creative than having a business card with a 3D design and you able to tear off part of it and pull out 3D glasses from inside and watch the card come alive, it's just wonderful.

Yoga One

This card is awesome, it couldn't be better for a yoga place, brilliant idea and great execution. It's so cool to see the card with the fingers. "Get Stretchy"

Reactor

Reactor is a Design Agency that came up with a very cool idea for their business card, with cool different designs along with the photo of the two member of the agency, not only that but the photo pops out of the card it's crazy.

Black Napkin

This business card design for Mark Ramadan food blog Black Napkin is insane, created with 200mm thick stainless steel it comes along with a mini fork, knife, and spoon for the emergency times we always have.

Junge Schachtel

Really cool card that comes with a part to tear off like the one on boxes, and after you tear it off you able to see the info of the person. Their website also follow the same base.

Viewzi

Very simple but still has a little something that stands out more than just a regular, and it's the transparency and the material it's made that makes the card a really cool concept for the online search engine viewzi.

BlackJack

A graphic design agency that made their business card look like a fresh piece of gun, it looks really cool.

Emerson Taymor

With a 3D business cart that has himself poping out of the card this is definitely awesome,
