How a Brand Refresh or Modernised Logo Can Boost Your Business

Branding is the heartbeat of your business. It’s how customers recognise you, how they connect with your values, and how they differentiate you from competitors. But as times change, so do design trends, customer expectations, customers themselves (through different ages) and the digital landscape. That’s where brand refreshing comes in. It’s not about abandoning your identity or completely overhauling your logo, but rather about making thoughtful adjustments that keep your brand relevant, modern and appealing.

Even iconic brands refresh their look.

You might think that iconic brands like BMW, Apple, or McDonald’s have kept their logos unchanged for decades. The reality, however, is that even these global giants tweak their logos every few years to keep them looking fresh and up to date. These changes might be subtle, a refined font here, a slight shift in colour or shadow there, but they make a big difference in how modern and appealing the brand appears.

Modernising your brand colours.

Take colours, for example. A brand that originally chose a bold red or a classic blue might find that updating these hues to their more modern versions can give their identity a fresh new look without losing the essence of what their brand represents. Modern colour trends often involve using slightly softer tones, removing or adding backgrounds, adding gradients or adjusting their secondary colours, making them more eye catching and contemporary.

Does your brand really need a refresh?

This kind of refresh isn’t just for the tech giants or fast-food empires, it’s something any business can benefit from. If your brand is starting to feel a bit outdated or if you’re not getting the engagement you once did, a refresh might be just what you need to reinvigorate your presence in the market and stand out from your competitors, particularly new entrants into the industry.

Can your website agency own your website? What every business should know.

We’ve lost count of the number of business owners who’ve come to us saying “I thought I owned my website… until I realised I didn’t.” It usually starts small - you can’t log in to make a quick change, or you have to email your agency for every little update. Then you find out your domain is registered in their name, not yours. Before you know it, your own website is effectively behind bars, and the only way to get to it is through them.
