How is an updated logo/brand vital?
NextStage: Predictive Intelligence, Persuasion Engineering, Interactive Analytics and Behavioral Metrics I'm continuing with an arc based on a series of branding questions I've had over the past few months. I promised this arc in "Attract and Stick, Part 1" now available on AllBusiness.com

The first question, "How does one rebuild or redevelop his brand? What are the steps?", I answered in two parts. The first part dealt with

  1. the existing brand being tarnished and now generating a negative impact in the target market and
  2. the corporation is losing market share and wants to re-establish itself in that market,
  3. the corporation is moving into new markets and wants to establish a brand in those new markets.
This time out the question is "How is an updated logo/brand vital?" I think the only time it's "vital" to update a logo or brand is when one of the situations I mentioned previously occurs. That offered, updating a logo/brand when moving into a new market is indeed vital because you need something that basically states "That's my pedigree and I'm still my own person". The best recent example of this was Toyota's Scion campaign.

The other uses as stated above are pretty much the same case when it comes to updating logos and brands; the need to re-establish market presence. In these cases the goal of the rebranding effort is to state "I'm from that family but I'm not one of them." This is the old western movie scenario of the outlaw's son proving he's a good lawman.
