Staff Writer

The Company

The Brand Identity is an independent graphic design resource with a global reach. We aim to empower the graphic design industry and those operating within it by providing a consistent, diverse and easy-to-use platform, made for all.

On a weekly basis, we publish a refined selection of articles about the best graphic design projects, as well as interviews and insights with the studios, agencies and designers behind them. We also form partnerships with brands we believe in to create bespoke editorial series, and to share products we believe are important and relevant to the graphic design industry. Furthermore, we produce an ever-expanding range of our own products such as books and mockups.

We passionately take pride in valuing quality over quantity and do not believe that only the latest matters; instead we hope to be an inspirational, informative and fundamentally useful resource for everyone interested in the graphic design of the past, present and future.
