So I have _negative_ #drawing and #art talent, right?
I'm trying to make materials for pre-teens/young teens.
In 2026, kids in that age group spend little time reading and find it hard to understand long texts. So, images are really important.
I can't just use a stock photo library for financial and copyright reasons -- well, except for commons.wikimedia.org.
If you were a #graphicdesign er in my situation, what would you do?
I thought of learning just enough drawing to be dangerous...

Brand Consistency: Why Your Business Needs a Strong Visual Identity
Introduction
Imagine seeing a business on Instagram today, visiting its website tomorrow and receiving a quotation from it next week.
The colours are different.
The fonts are different.
The logo looks different.
The overall design feels like three different companies.
Would you immediately feel confident that you were dealing with the same business?
Probably not.
This is why brand consistency matters.
A strong brand identity helps your business create a recognizable presence wherever customers encounter it.
What Is Brand Consistency?
Brand consistency means presenting your business in a recognizable and coherent way across different platforms and customer touchpoints.
This includes maintaining consistency in:
- Colours
- Typography
- Logo usage
- Photography
- Graphic design
- Messaging
- Tone of voice
- Brand personality
It does not mean every social media post needs to look exactly the same.
Instead, your audience should be able to look at your content and think:
“I know this brand.”
Why Brand Consistency Matters
1. It Builds Brand Recognition
People are exposed to thousands of marketing messages every day.
A consistent visual identity helps your business stand out and become easier to recognize.
When the same visual elements appear repeatedly, they gradually become associated with your business.
2. It Builds Trust
Consistency can make a business appear more professional and organized.
When your website, social media pages and marketing materials all communicate the same identity, customers are more likely to perceive the business as intentional and credible.
3. It Makes Your Business Look More Professional
Professional branding is not necessarily about expensive design.
It is about intentional design.
A small business with clear brand guidelines can look more established than a larger business with inconsistent communication.
4. It Makes Content Creation Easier
Without brand guidelines, every new poster, social media graphic or advertisement becomes a design experiment.
With a defined visual identity, your team already knows:
- Which colours to use
- Which fonts to use
- How the logo should appear
- What type of imagery fits
- How headlines should be presented
This saves time and creates consistency.
What Should Be Included in Brand Guidelines?
A basic brand guideline document can include:
Logo
Define how the logo should be used, including acceptable variations and spacing.
Colour Palette
Specify your primary, secondary and supporting colours.
Include colour codes such as HEX, RGB and CMYK where appropriate.
Typography
Define your primary and secondary fonts.
You can also establish different font sizes and weights for headings, subheadings and body text.
Imagery
Decide what type of photography, illustrations or graphics represent the brand.
Tone of Voice
Your brand should also sound consistent.
Are you:
- Professional?
- Friendly?
- Bold?
- Educational?
- Conversational?
- Authoritative?
Your written communication should reflect that personality.
How to Check Whether Your Brand Is Consistent
Open your:
- Instagram page
- Website
- LinkedIn page
- Business cards
- Posters
- Brochures
- Presentations
- Email signatures
Look at them together.
Do they feel like they belong to the same business?
If the answer is no, your brand may need a consistency audit.
Brand Consistency Does Not Mean Being Boring
Some businesses worry that following brand guidelines will make their content repetitive.
It doesn’t have to.
Your layouts can change.
Your photography can change.
Your campaigns can change.
Your content can evolve.
The underlying brand identity simply remains recognizable.
Think of it as having a visual language.
You can create different sentences while still speaking the same language.
Final Thoughts
Your customers should not have to guess whether two pieces of communication came from the same business.
A strong and consistent visual identity helps create recognition, professionalism and trust.
If your business has grown but your branding has remained inconsistent, it may be time to establish a stronger visual system.
Your brand should look like one brand everywhere.

A time-warp to my room around late 1992, where I show how exhilarating it was to be a game developer. 😆

BBC: Sydney Marathon medal mistakenly depicts Munich stadium
"...The medal appears to feature a stadium carved in the likeness of Allianz Arena in the German city of Munich, rather than Allianz Stadium in Sydney – which the 42.2km (26.2 mile) course runs past...."

Please, don't justify your texts if you don't know how to adjust the spaces, and, for the love of Satan or whatever deity you fancy, please don't print a book like this.

This is my friend Julian Quayle. He's English—from Sheffield. He designed the logo for my business. He was also at various times, the Art Director for Nike, Levis, and Apple. He is quite a character, hilarious. He told me he designed it in 5 minutes, I told him "5-minutes plus 30 years, right?" He's wearing the logo t-shirt in this photo.
