Corporate identity
Corporate identity is a company's identity and how it is expressed internally and externally. It includes its understanding of itself, its communication, its behaviour and its visible appearance.
What is corporate identity?

How does corporate identity differ from corporate design?

Corporate design covers visual presentation. Corporate identity goes further: how a business treats customers and employees also helps define it. A logo can express this connection visually, but cannot capture all of it.

In practice, CI and design guidelines are sometimes used interchangeably. When preparing a design brief, ask specifically for logo versions, colour references and approvals rather than simply requesting the CI.

What does corporate identity mean for a sneaker project?

Consider which style suits the way your company works and the occasion. A restrained design can be as appropriate as a more striking approach. SLICKZ adapts the design of selected sneakers to your preferences and the available technical options.
