<p>I mean that, really who are you, what do you stand for, what morals / ethics do you abide by?</p>
<p><strong>For many people, they do not view this question as something that goes with branding their company &#8211; Then who&#8217;s company is it?<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The truth is, you have to be authentic, meaning &#8211; You have to be you! That doesn&#8217;t mean that your business name has to be Your name, nor does it have to embody everything about you, but it certainly should have the same feel.</p>
<p>(This is not a plug) &#8211; Look at my companies brand &#8211; Forget the name for this moment, but the colours we have used, and the font. The colours a little loud, but not over the top (we hope). The font is maybe a little dated, but it&#8217;s fun, and represents my history of being a snowboarder. Further more, our Brand (which is far more than just a logo) represents many of my core values, and beliefs. It doesn&#8217;t encompass every area of my life, but it certainly has a similar feel.</p>
<p><strong>Remember &#8211; branding isn&#8217;t all about the &#8220;logo&#8221; it&#8217;s much more than that &#8211; Are you comfortable associating yourself with your business brand? If the answer is &#8220;No&#8221; you have some work ahead. For session One (<a href="http://jmuirheadblog.com/the-art-of-creating-a-brand-session-one-tell-a-story/">Click Here</a>)<br />
