1. Story // Hello, this is BRAND. Here’s what we make and do.
2. Voice // Consider how you speak. Things you say and don't say. Why?
3. Logo // Our logo/name and what it means to us.
4. Imagery // Consider your use of imagery -- what are your "on-brand" images? 
5. Typography // These are the fonts we use and why we chose them. What kind of personality do they have?
6. Colour ​// Ditto with colour. Why did you choose it? What kind of personality does it reflect?
