THE MEANING OF COLOURS IN
          BRANDS

Never  underestimate the meaning of
 colours when it comes to branding.
 When you create your brand, the
 colors you choose are just as
 important as the image you use in
 order to convey the appropriate
 message and feeling.
 Coloroffers an instantaneous method for
 conveying meaning and message in your
 logo designs. It’s probably the most
 powerful non-verbal form of
 communication we can use as designers.

 Our minds are programmed to respond to
 color. The subliminal messages we get
 from color shape our thoughts. As
 humans our very survival is hung on the
 identification of color.
 We  stop our cars for red lights and go
 on green, we look at the color of
 certain plants and animals to
 determine whether or not they are safe
 for us to eat or touch, the bottom line
 is that color is a very important part of
 our daily lives. It’s important for us as
 designers to use color appropriately
 and understand the meaning behind
 the colors we choose.
RED
 Action, Adventure, Aggressive, Blood,
 Danger, Drive, Energy, Excitement, Love,
 Passion, Strength and Vigor

 Red is an intense color. It can summon
 conflicting emotions from blood and
 warfare to love and passion. It is often
 used in logo design to grip the viewer’s
 attention and has been known to raise
 one’s blood pressure or make people
 hungry.
RED BULL
Red   Bull gets a double dose of red in its
 logo and is a great color choice for a logo
 that represents an energy drink company.
 The company markets the drink as, “Red
 Bull vitalizes body and mind” and “Red
 Bull gives you wiiings!”. Both of these
 phrases reinforce why red was an
 excellent color choice for the logo. By
 accenting the red with yellow a loosely
 analogous color palette is created for the
 brand.
PINK
  Appreciation, Delicate, Femininity, Floral,
  Gentle, Girly, Gratitude, Innocence,
  Romantic, Soft and Tranquil...
 Pink is a feminine color that conjures
  feelings of innocence and delicateness.
  It’s a softer version of red that can stir up
  visions of little girls, bubble-gum and
  cotton candy. The color pink is also widely
  associated with breast cancer awareness.
  It is often used in logos to add a feminine
  flare.
BARBIE
The  color pink is very prominent in
 Mattel’s Barbie logo and supporting
 branding material. It is a fitting color
 for a toy that is marketed to little
 girls. The typeface compliments the
 color choice and helps to reinforce
 the brands positioning by giving the
 impression of a young girl’s
 handwriting.
YELLOW:
 Caution, Cheerful, Cowardice, Curiosity,
 Happiness, Joy, Playful, Positivity,
 Sunshine and Warmth...

 Yellow,  much like red, can have
 conflicting messages. It can represent
 sunshine and happiness or caution and
 cowardice. Yellow is bright and highly
 visible which is why it can often be
 found on caution and other road signs.
 Yellow is often used in logo design to
 get attention, create happiness and
 warmth.
McDONALD’s
 We all know the successful McDonald’s
 franchise and their slogan “I’m Lovin’ It”. Like
 Red Bull, McDonald’s uses a loosely analogous
 color palette. The difference is that McDonald’s
 is mainly yellow which fitting for this brand that
 focuses on children, playfulness and happiness.
 The red works well as an accent color and has
 been know to raise ones blood pressure and
 evoke hunger. Incidentally, this color
 combination has influenced many other fast
 food chains.
BLUE

 Authority, Calm, Confidence, Dignity,
 Established, Loyalty, Power, Success,
 Secure and Trustworthy

 Blueis calming and can stir up images of
 authority, success and security. Most
 people can say they like at least one
 shade of blue. It is probably the most
 popular color in logo design and can be
 seen extensively in government, medical
 and fortune 500 company logos.
IBM
 The blue in the IBM logo represents
 a company that is non-threatening
 yet stable and established. When
 Rand redesigned the IBM logo he
 replaced the solid type with 8
 horizontal bars to represent “speed
 and dynamism”. While the logo
 typically isn’t used in its original blue
 today, it is still a very prominent
 color in the IBM brand.
GREEN
 Crisp, Environmental, Fresh, Harmony,
 Health, Healing, Inexperience, Money,
 Nature, Renewal and Tranquility

 Green  represents life and renewal. It is a
 restful and soothing color but can also
 represent jealousy and inexperience. You
 can often find it used in companies that
 want to portray themselves as eco-
 friendly.
ANIMALS PLANET
 Green  is suitable logo color choice for
 a TV channel who’s programing focuses
 solely on nature and animals. There’s a
 significant amount of controversy
 surrounding this logo. So whether you
 like the logo or not, I think we can
 agree that the various tones of green
 are right on for this channel. The color
 conjures up imagery of jungles,
 grasses and nature in general.
CONCLUSION

Colours are essential part of every
brand, colours in every brand
definetly represent something, Brand
is almost incomplete without colour
and colours in brands non verbaly
communicate message to the
people..
