Trust
Determine how much you can afford, and be up front with your designers. Keep in mind that a creative relationship is about rapport and you should be able to trust the agency you have chosen to work with.

Purpose-Driven
Always begin with a solid foundation. Branding is purpose-driven and should begin with sound research, creative collaboration and strategic planning. If you begin by simply having a logo created, you may not be satisfied with your brand in the long run.

Realistic
When creating your brand, be bold, be creative - but also be honest. Your brand should reflect your company's core values and should never be based on an unrealistic version of your company. Download the Seven Deadly Sins of Branding.
