What is the difference between a graphic designer and a brand designer?

The terms “graphic designer” and “brand identity designer” refer to two different approaches within the field of graphic design.

If you already have a clear vision for your logo and just need someone to bring it to life, a production designer (graphic designer) might be the go-to. However, if you’re leaning towards a design that’s rooted in strategy rather than personal preferences, a Brand Identity Designer is the right choice.

Graphic Designer

Scope of Work Generalist graphic designers have a broad skill set and can work on a wide range of design projects. They may handle tasks such as creating social media graphics, designing brochures, website elements, or even packaging.

Objective The primary focus of a generalist graphic designer is often on the visual aesthetics and functional aspects of the design rather than delving deeply into the strategic aspects of brand development.

Client Interaction Clients may drive the design direction and decisions based on a need rather than strategic approach

Project Turnaround General Graphic Designers often work on smaller ad-hoc projects which have a faster turnaround time

Brand Identity Designer

Specialization Brand identity designers focus specifically on creating and shaping the visual elements that represent a brand. 

Strategic Approach Brand identity designers go beyond visual aesthetics; they work strategically to understand the brand’s values, target audience, and market positioning. They aim to create a cohesive and memorable identity that aligns with the brand’s overall objectives.

Consistency Brand identity designers emphasize the consistency of visual elements across various platforms. They ensure that all design elements convey a unified message and reinforce the brand’s identity.
