Brand identity standards are a process of building articles to develop the brand of a business. Once an enterprise introduces a regulation on using brand identity standards to apply to the entire enterprise, there will be a big impact and change.

Soft Brands and their impact on the hotel industry Source: http://www.tfgassetmanagement.com/news/hospitality/the-march-of-soft-brands-and-their-transformational-impact-on-the-hotel-industry.aspx

Franchising has risen in popularity across the hotel industry in recent years providing operators with a cost-effective means of breaking into new markets. It provides owners access to a powerful brand but allows them to manage their properties themselves.

While it provides owners the flexibility to operate their own properties under a recognised brand, there are "brand standards" - significant rules, procedures and restrictions.

This has given rise to the proliferation of soft brands, or "umbrella brands", employed by established international hotel operators to meet the demand for unique hotel experiences.

They appeal to hoteliers who don't want to be beholden to the such strict standards while gaining the benefits of being part of a strong distribution network. Some of the best-known examples are The Autograph Collection by Marriott Hotels & Resorts and the Ascend Hotel Collection by Choice Hotels.

Previous Brand Standards: The Good and the Bad

For the Have Your say brief I was required to create a brand standards board to show the construction of my ORCA brand. During the JDO RAW 2015 brief I created something similar, but not a fully developed one. You can definitely see the difference between the quality of brand standards here, it clearly shows that my development as a designer this year has increased my branding skills as there is more deconstruction of the brand such as the typography, its uses and colour palette. Although there is a lot I would change to the Orca brand standards now, I can clearly see how I have developed. Recently after studying this JDO 2016 brief my understanding of branding has increased dramatically and therefore I feel I will be able to create a successful brand standards board using this knowledge and what I have learnt from previous experiences.

Brand Standards

Brand standards are a set of guidelines to help companies communicate the look, feel and representation of an organisation. It’s important to know how your organisation is being presented to the public, and brand standards ensure everyone is conveying it the same way. When a company has multiple marketing professionals or agencies working with a single brand, brand standards ensure the company’s vision is respected and delivered appropriately with each impression. A Brand Standards board usually consists of:

- Brand description 

- Logo usage and requirements 

- Use of additional graphical elements 

- Color palette

- Typography 

- Tone and copy 

For the JDO brief as it is brand-based, I will need to complete one of these to present to them my final design. To reinforce my knowledge of how to approach brand standards, I will look back at previous ones I have created and work out what went well/didn’t go well. As the brand would be printed on a range of mediums including a plastic label, a poster and plastic cups, it is important the brand standards board is 100% accurate so that its contents can be applied to all of the materials and hopefully come out exactly the same.
