Branding on a Digital Product

​

For UX designers and product owners, developing effective branding for a digital product (B) is a critical job. From logos to fonts, colors, and images, designing the right branding elements can make or break a user’s experience with a product. It’s essential to  carefully consider these elements to ensure they effectively fulfill the goals of the product and align with the brand. 

​

Here are several key areas to focus on when designing branding for a digital product:

​

• Logo: A key component of a brand’s identity, the logo is the first thing a user will see when they arrive at a product’s website or app. It is essential that this is designed with the user in mind and provides an idea of what the product does and why it warrants the user’s attention. 

​

• Fonts: Choosing the right font typefaces can be a challenge. It’s important to find the balance between a font that’s sleek and professional and those that still feel authentic and convey the brand’s personality. 

​

• Colors: Colors play an important role in any product’s branding. All elements of branding should be designed thoughtfully to create contrast, balance, and visual hierarchy. Select palettes that allow elements to pop and draw the user’s attention.

​

• Images: Including relevant and high-quality images can give a product a more professional look, break information down into more digestible sections and provide context on the brand. 

​

By taking the time to think through these elements and design truly effective branding, UX designers and product owners can create a product that users enjoy interacting with and remember. It’s a worthwhile effort that will keep users coming back.
