A brand is a package of thoughts and emotions…
5
Knowledgeable…
Trustworthy…
…but a bit old-fashioned
…and you can never get throughon the phone!

Five steps to creating your brand
7
Clarify mission + vision + strategy
Agree brand values
Illustrate them visually,
verbally and in behaviours
Test audience understanding
Implement
Vision = the world you want to seeMission = how you‟re going to help bring it about (who you help and how you help them)Strategy = activities/objectives for next 3-5 years
Brand values = qualities that make you valuable and (ideally) unique

Logo choice

The public loved the tree of life…
This logo shows an image or perception of a `tree` which ages in life as it grows. It has `branches` which could represent all the various things that Independent Age can assist with for people of the older generation
The tree is supporting the bird. The tree has fruit on it which will benefit the bird. The image has a modern feel, without being modernist. I think it is really appropriate
The symbol looks like a thriving tree which is what older people should be able to do in their own home
I like the idea of the tree, old but strong
It shows the tree of life, branching out to support its fruit
The blossoming nature of the logo suggests a warm embracing culture which represents care and support

Qualities of red/purple logo
Blue was favourite but not a good fit with the personality. Orange least preferred.
Red was a better fit with the personality than purple (and focus groups said purple = death)
