Brand and Identity

Brand and visual identity design are closely related concepts within marketing and design, each serving distinct purposes and involving unique elements. Visual identity encompasses the visual aspects that define a brand, such as logos, graphics, typography, and colour palettes. Brand direction, on the other hand, refers to how these elements are utilised in harmony with a clear and consistent message. Identity is about the look, while the brand is about how it’s applied. Below are the services RD³ offers around Brand and Identity.
Brand & Identity

Visual Identity Design

A clear visual identity is the cornerstone of any successful brand. Consistent and iconic visual elements connect your business with its values and establish a long-term link in the eyes of your audience. At RD³, we collaborate with you to create an identity design that truly represents your brand. This includes your logo, typography, colour palette, graphic elements, stationery, and brand guidelines. The result is a visually cohesive and recognisable brand presence, where every visual aspect consistently reflects your brand's identity.

Brand and Creative Direction

How you use the elements of your identity defines your brand and creative direction, encompassing the entire strategy and concept of your business's presentation. Blending emotional and experiential elements, brand direction takes a comprehensive approach, including strategy, messaging, and experiences, to spark emotional connections with your audience. At RD³, we collaborate with you to take the elements of your visual identity and create a unified perception that builds a strong emotional bond with your audience. We ensure that every interaction strengthens your brand's presence and impact.

Brand Guidelines

Brand guidelines are a set of rules and standards that define the visual and verbal identity of your brand. They ensure consistency across all marketing materials and communications, helping to establish a strong, recognisable brand presence. At RD³, we can produce a comprehensive document and assets that serve as a reference point for everyone involved in creating brand materials. This ensures that all communications align with your brand’s identity and values. Maintaining this consistency builds trust and recognition among customers, ultimately strengthening your brand's market position.

Content Strategy and Marketing

In today's world of constant content, storytelling through your digital content is as vital to your brand's presence as the visuals and direction that define it. A content strategy, filled with brand centric digital assets, is essential for outlining how to create, manage, and distribute content to achieve goals like brand awareness, lead generation, and customer engagement. At RD³, we work with you to define target audiences, set objectives, and choose the right channels. This collaboration ensures your business produces high-quality, consistent content that aligns with your brand voice and effectively connects with your audience.

Web and digital design

While growing a huge following and even running a business from social platforms is possible, a website remains, and will always be, the home of your business online. A professionally designed website, tailored to the specific needs of your brand, significantly boosts your business's trust and credibility in a way that cannot be faked. Creating a website involves a combination of various digital services. At RD³, we can provide any of these services individually, working with your existing team or setup, or offer all of them together to deliver a complete website and digital platform for your business online.
Website & Digital

Website Design (Visual and UX Design)

The first rule of design is to look good. Your business's website is a statement about who you are, what you do, and the level at which you're doing it. Every element of design communicates something, and while visuals shape how your business is perceived, the way your website is used—how the user is unconsciously guided around the site and driven to the desired interactions—is just as important as the overall aesthetic. At RD³, we create designs that not only express your brand's identity beautifully but also leverage User Experience (UX) principles to ensure every visitor is directed where you want them to go. This combination of elements working in harmony crafts a website with visual impact that also engages. Together, we can build a site that achieves this for your business.

Website Build

Once a website is designed, it needs to be built for the web. How your website is built can communicate as much about your business as a the visuals themselves. A well-built website greatly enhances the user experience by offering smooth navigation, clear calls to action, and quick load times, which helps visitors find what they need and engage more effectively, leading to lower bounce rates. It also boosts your business’s credibility with secure connections, easy-to-find contact details, and high-quality content, making it easier for visitors to trust and connect with your brand.  At RD³ we build websites that enhance the visuals and that reinforce your brand's message, rather than detract from it.

Digital Design

At RD³, we offer a comprehensive range of digital design services tailored to elevate your brand across various platforms. Digital design encompasses the creation of visually compelling and functional assets that communicate your brand's message effectively. Our services include designing social media graphics, email templates, web banners, and digital ads, all crafted to resonate with your audience. By leveraging our expertise, your brand can maintain a consistent and engaging presence online, capturing attention and driving action. Whether you're looking to enhance your social media campaigns, improve your email marketing, or create eye-catching online ads, RD³ is here to bring your vision to life with professional, creative flair.

Content and Marketing Creative

- Marketing creative and content is the visual content used in marketing campaigns to attract and engage an audience. It encompasses a variety of elements, including images, videos, graphics, copywriting, and overall design. Marketing creative is the component that conveys the message, captures attention, and motivates the audience to take action, such as clicking on an ad, signing up for a newsletter, or making a purchase. At RD³ we can work with your brand to ensure a consistent message is sent out through all creative, one that's visually the right tone for your brand, but also communicates the high standard your business operates from.

Shopify ecommerce

High-quality Shopify eCommerce websites are a combination of telling your brand's story, while weaving in a design that takes your user on a journey that is focused on conversion. At RD³ we focus an ecommerce approach that builds a long term relationship between your brand and it's audience, taking the same principles that craft solid and impactful identities and brands, and apply it to Shopify stores so they can act as your businesses online home, and a place customers can go again and again to form a connection with your brand.  
Shopify Ecommerce

Shopify Ecommerce Design

As with any design, you want a Shopify store's visuals to consistently communicate your brand's values while prioritising conversion at the checkout. At RD³, our design philosophy focuses on building stores that improve conversion rates and guide users through the buying process, all while telling your brand's story. We're not just looking to prompt users with discounts for short-term sales boosts that could harm your brand's long-term value. Instead, we design a store that serves as the home of your brand online—a robust and high-impact presence that users trust, form long-term connections with, and return to for repeat and new purchases. The best online stores help your brand grow consistently over years, and our strategic visual approach integrates optimisations into a high-impact visual presence. This is the kind of presence that RD³ prioritises.

Shopify Build (Liquid)

Your visuals significantly impact your store's perception, but equally important for engaging users and making sales is how your Shopify eCommerce store is built. Users want to feel safe and secure when providing their information and want to trust and respect your brand. Features like faster load times, responsive design, and clear, concise product information contribute to a smooth and enjoyable shopping experience across all devices. These elements, combined with your brand's visuals, enhance the professionalism of your online presence. At RD³, we aim to craft a store with you that not only attracts and retains more customers but also fosters loyalty and repeat visits, driving long-term business success.

Email and Retarget

Email marketing has long been a staple of online marketing. While emails might not be the newest trend, setting up email retargeting and campaigns for a Shopify store offers numerous benefits, including increased sales through personalised recommendations and cart abandonment recovery. This approach also enhances customer retention and loyalty by promoting loyalty programs and delivering personalised content based on purchase history. As a cost-effective marketing channel, email campaigns provide a high return on investment, especially when automated to maintain consistent communication with customers. At RD³, we can implement anything from a simple built-in Shopify email solution to a collaboration with an integration partner to produce impactful emails that enhance brand awareness, reinforce brand identity, and share your brand's story and values, all resulting in increased conversions and stronger long-term relationships with your customers.

Process

To consistently help our clients reach their goals and targets for their business, RD³ follows a clear design and build process. The sequence outlined below is the structure that all RD³ projects follow, and it has helped all our clients to creatively and methodically achieve their project targets, on time, and on point.
Discover & Define
Creativity works best when it is targeted in one clear direction to solve a specific problem. Digital design is about using visuals to achieve a clear outcome, such as turning a website user into an engaged follower or a store visitor into a paying customer. The difference between a design that simply looks good and one that serves a purpose lies in how well it achieves the goals of the brief. The quality of the design meeting your specific needs depends on how good, clear, and precise that brief is. At RD³, our design process emphasises the 'work before the work,' exploring inspirations and getting crystal clear on the outcome you need and the form it will take.
Create & refine
With the 'what' defined clearly in a solid brief, we'll collaborate to get creative on the work that fulfills that brief. This is where your brand's concepts turn into reality. Together, we'll create visuals that effectively communicate your business's mission and vision, while also ensuring these visuals connect with and delight your audience, sparking the right emotions in your followers. Great brands and designs have elements you can point to and explain why they work well, but there's also an element of 'I'll know it when I see it'—a combination of visuals, tone, communication, and message that makes the essence of a business instantly and elegantly clear. By combining a clear brief with a broad creative process, RD³ aims to turn your business into a brand that embodies your message so clearly that people are engaged and instantly get it when they see it.
Launch & Express
With the goals of the brief met, and a visual outcome which engages created, we'll work together to create a range of content and imagery which expands and spreads these visuals far and wide. Tailored to the goals of your business, these further outcomes are all about taking the rules and consistent message we've defined in the creative process, and extending in to a broad array of visual outcomes to use across any and all media. This is where we not only extend and explore new ways of communicating your business, but ensure the messaging of your brand is clear, consistent, and builds the recognition that a high level business needs to thrive and sit alongside, or above, your competitors.
