Corporate Identity Management Trends for 2018

Stock photos have, in the past, been given an important role to draw the attention of the viewer and convey a certain message. This year, however, the stock photos will make room for real photos and illustrations. We see more and more authentic photography. More and more organizations choose their own, professional photos. Illustrations and customized animations in the corporate identity of your organization can often convey the message even better. This gives you extra recognizability and adds a personal 'touch' to your website, letter or flyer.

The Bigger the Better, for fonts will be the slogan for 2018. We see more and more unique fonts more and more often. They can be applied to attract more attention, wherever you want. The typography, both online and offline, is becoming more playful and creative. The use of textures, shapes and the processing of text in photographs is ever increasing. The use of color variation, for example as a filter on a photograph, is the trend during 2018.

In the past designers often opted for unobtrusive, safe internet colors (web-safe colors). Bright colors, however, are used more and more often to make an organization stand out and recognizable. In addition, we see that designs are becoming sleeker and more striking through the use of a lot of contrast in combination with two or three colors, which ensures a minimalist and eye-catching design. It’s okay to stand out!
