Corporate and sub-series identities in conflict

Overlapping colors and logo systems across product series make the hierarchy hard for users to read.

Research direction: Brand language and product familyProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Map the relationships between corporate, series, model and function identifiers.
  2. Define the prominence and placement of identity elements at each level.
  3. Test whether users can distinguish each level in sales, operation and maintenance contexts.

Key Deliverables

  • Product Brand Architecture
  • Identity Hierarchy
  • Application Guidelines

Verification Approach

Record errors in how users identify the parent brand, product line and model.
