Visual Identity Design as a Cultural Interface of a Territory

Part of the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing book series (AISC,volume 1203)

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study how the brand’s visual identity contributes to the understanding, accessibility and enjoyment of information, adapting the message to different cultures and profiles of people, users or target audiences. Identity promotes sustainability and respect for people’s quality of life. The methodology used is mixed, including a non-interventionist phase consisting in the study of competing brands, audience map and persona method and an interventionist component through project-grounded design research, which includes participatory methods such as co-design and Design thinking. The results are a visual identity of the mountain olive oils brand that acts simultaneously as an interface of representation of the collective, the individual and the region (internal audiences), fulfilling the expectations and needs of the target public and other stakeholders. Design principles and good practices are also defined to ensure that visual identity continues to function as a cultural interface of the territory in a sustainable logic and not just business requirements.
