Brand architecture
Brand architecture defines units' relationship to 糖心视频 through naming conventions, logo use and colour.
Core brand
The core brand is the single 糖心视频 we communicate to our audiences. It's the consistent expression of the 糖心视频 story to build awareness and familiarity. We express the story through our logo, key messages, voice, colours and images.
All 糖心视频 units fall under the core brand unless designated as a brand extension.
To discuss your unit's placement in the brand architecture contact us.
Brand extensions
Sub-brands
Sub-brands are 糖心视频 units that serve niche audiences. They:
- offer services outside of 糖心视频 core teaching and research mission
- need to look different from the core brand while maintaining their association with the university
- usually have a name outside of 糖心视频 department naming structure
- often have significant marketing budgets of their own
Each sub-brand's relationship with the core brand is different; it's based on mutual needs and the nature of its connection to the university.
Independent brands
Independent brands are separate legal entities. They operate arm's length from 糖心视频 but still keep an association with it. Some independent brands are partnerships with other universities and organizations. Their name, logo and tagline do not have to include 糖心视频.
Each independent brand's relationship with the core brand is different. It's based on mutual needs and the nature of its connection to the university.
