Designing Brand Identity

A Complete Guide to Creating, Building, and Maintaining Strong Brands

A practical, visual playbook for building brand identity systems.

by Alina Wheeler

Wheeler lays out a structured, repeatable process for creating and managing brand identity, from research and clarifying strategy through design, identity systems, and rollout. The book pairs a clear five-phase methodology with concise case studies and richly visual examples. It is written as a reference for the whole branding team, not just designers.

Founders building a company need a coherent visual and verbal identity, and this book demystifies the process from naming to logo systems to governance. It gives a shared language and process so founders can brief and evaluate design work confidently.
