Start with how the brand enters the market

When packaging is the first brand touchpoint, the logo and packaging should not be considered in isolation.

Three common situations

  1. Build the brand before launching products
  2. Test one product before expanding the identity
  3. Launch the brand and a product range together
First identify which touchpoint most shapes how customers understand the brand.

A more reliable approach

Clarify positioning, product relationships and applications before deciding the project sequence.
