▲ Trend Analysis: Minimalism Meets Individual Expression
Visual design has been shifting from “complex expression” to “intuitive minimalism” in recent years. Brands like Apple, MUJI, and Aesop have built highly recognizable visual assets through clean whitespace, cohesive styling, and soft tones.
Meanwhile, emerging brands are leaning into personalized visual cues, using distinctive typography, bold color contrasts, and hand-drawn elements to carve out unique identities. For example, Glossier’s use of blush pink and film-like imagery has resonated strongly with Gen Z audiences.
In our projects, we’re seeing a growing trend toward blending “minimalism with personality.” Clear, minimal layouts enhanced with one or two memorable features—like a unique font or animated illustration—can significantly boost brand recognition.
▲ Core Elements: The Synergy of Color, Typography, and Graphics
A strong Visual Identity System (VIS) is built on three fundamental pillars: color, typography, and graphic elements.
- Color is the emotional first language of a brand. Blue suggests trust and professionalism; orange signals energy and innovation; black, white, and gray convey elegance and composure.
- Typography expresses brand tone. Handwritten fonts evoke approachability in lifestyle brands, while geometric sans-serifs suggest modernity and tech-savviness.
- Graphic elements — like icons, lines, and textures—don’t just decorate; they imply brand personality.
When designing brand visuals for clients, we ensure these elements are applied consistently across both digital and physical touchpoints—business cards, websites, social media posts, presentation decks—so the brand appears coherent and professional at every interaction.
▲ Website Design: Striking a Balance Between Aesthetics and Usability
A website is a brand’s digital cornerstone. Its visual design must not only be eye-catching but also support a seamless user experience (UX). So, how do you achieve “beauty without clutter, simplicity without emptiness”?
- Use visually guided layouts on the homepage, such as large hero images with scroll cues
- Ensure buttons and menus have clear hierarchy and responsive feedback
- Apply responsive design to maintain aesthetic consistency across devices
- Integrate subtle animations or micro-interactions to enhance engagement
▲ Tips: 5 Design Tactics to Enhance Brand Recall
A compelling visual system isn’t just about looking good—it’s about creating an emotional and memorable experience:
- Define a signature brand color and apply it consistently across all design assets
- Choose 1–2 distinctive fonts to represent the brand, and use them sparingly
- Develop a custom illustration style or icon set unique to your brand
- Incorporate lightweight animations into your website to boost interactive engagement
- Maintain consistent visual style across all social platforms to strengthen brand presence
▲ Final Note: Design Is More Than Beauty—It’s the Soul of the Brand
In an age of information overload, only visual designs that are tangible, engaging, and emotionally resonant can help a brand rise above the noise. At BOM Creation, we believe every brand deserves its own unique visual language — one that forms emotional connections and endures over time.
