It explains that Skype's logo should only be reproduced in Skype Blue and provides rules for proper logo usage. Clouds and illustrations are presented as key visual elements to represent conversations, with examples shown of correct and incorrect ways to combine them.

My role as a Marketing Communications Practitioner involves working from agency side on preparing highly effective campaigns tailored towards the needs of the client and responsible for preparing and delivering pitches and presentations aimed at securing new business.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

18. Clouds have always been part of our logo,
but we are now giving them a starring role.
Clouds are a good way to represent free
conversations. They feel free and natural.
They look cool.

21. Seriously though, it should still look
like a cloud… or at least, cloudish.
It’s not that difficult, but in case you missed what
we’re getting at, we have some examples below
of good clouds and, well, rubbish ones.

21
22. Wait, there is another stage in constructing
a cloud… illustrations.
Our illustrations are all about visualising the richness of
conversation. So once you have your basic cloud shape
you can incorporate some illustrations to the cloud.
Here are the sets of illustrations we’ve developed…
To download illustrations, visit the brand site
at skype.com/go/brand

When adding icons to a cloud be careful you

a few illustrations, at the end of the day it should

we’re on about.

42. Keep it simple and uncluttered.
What we want is a good balance between a nice cloud and some illustrations.
At the end of the day what goes in the cloud is up to you, but try to make it somewhat
relevant to the subject. Use the illustration banks to help with your selection.

48. All together now…
The lines of communication are designed to move the eye to different
points in a layout. Think of them just like one of those bouncing ball
thingies that help you out when you’re singing karaoke.
If you don’t know what we’re talking about drop everything and find
the nearest karaoke bar.
8
50. There’s even more.
Introducing: Photography.
The cloud should be the heart of all Skype communications,
but there will be times when we need to introduce more.
When we use photography, Skype images are warm and real.
The images should capture people mid conversation. The photography
should always be full bleed and used on all above-the-line material.
50
51. Consideration of the audience is also important.
Skype has three key audiences, Business, Families and Students.

74. Photography usage. The rules.
Skype has worldwide usage rights on all these images on all printed
material including point-of-sale, outdoor, press and online until March 2009.
Downloads
Low resolution images are available on skype.com/go/brand
(user name: skype, password: br4nd).
Hi-res versions must be requested from brandphotography@skype.net
7
75. Using your own photography.
There may be times when you wish to commission your own photography or buy photography from
a stock photography library.
When that urge strikes you, then ask yourself these questions:
• Does the image feel natural, observed and shot on a real location
(as opposed to in a studio)?
• Is the image full colour and free of any treatment
(i.e. duotone, posterisation, cross-processed, etc.)?
• Does the image feature more than one person?
• Does the image feel unique and not like a stock shot?
• Are people in the image engaged in conversation or focused
on the same thing?
• Do the people in the image feel approachable… would you
introduce them to your mother?
If you answer “Yes!” to all these questions, congratulations! You have found yourself an image to use.
All material must be submitted to brandphotography@skype.net for approval prior to publication.
A final sample is requested.
75
76. Putting it
all together
It’s all here now: type, illustration,
photography and strapline.
76
78. But, are you sure that’s
the right place for it?
It seems easy enough, and that’s because it is. However we ask
that you consider where the clouds are placed on a layout.
The previous page was a good example of a nice layout,
with good cloud placement… the pages that immediately
follow this one have some examples of how good clouds
can go bad and a few things to keep in mind.
78
80. My face, my face, my beautiful face!
As we said, placement can make or break a
composition. This example not only broke it,
it threw it to the ground and did a little
dance afterwards.
