Even if you are not a fan of checking out the calendar, you can if it’s close to the holidays. Whether it’s the chilly weather or the pumpkin spice, businesses are all aboard the hype train during the holidays and try to find creative ways of adding seasonal design trends into their brand.
Holiday branding is an amazing way of building your brand awareness, but do understand that you can go from spreading the holiday joy to seasonal overkill in a flash.
But let us hold you on for a minute before you hop into the holiday train, read this guide for some tips and tricks on how to incorporate seasonal elements to your brand and products without overdoing it.
Have your logo speak happy holidays.
Your logo is the forefront of your business, it is what tells the consumers what your business is about and the message you are trying to convey. Your company logo is a reflection of the company’s professionalism and the quality you produce, it is what gives the world an inside view into the culture you are building.
So try to use a holiday theme, try to give your logo a subtly holiday makeover and try to use the holiday palette as opposed to your usual color schemes. Have some holiday fun and adorn your logo in holiday icons such as holly berries, snowman, or a pumkin.
The word to keep in mind here is subtle- your logo is the identity of your brand, so don’t go too crazy as your logo still needs to represent your brand. You don’t want to overdo things and change up your logo to the point that customers and clients are no longer able to recognize it. Have fun and have a go at the seasonal design trends and elements but don’t forget to have your brand’s voice still be heard amongst the santa hats and snowflakes.
