  • 30 A Branded World

    Layers magazine cover
    As a designer, you’ve probably had many clients ask you to create logos for their businesses. But is a logo really enough anymore? Does the term “logo” even apply in today’s digital, socially driven world? Brand Identity Designer Andrew Sabatier explores these questions as he takes us on a journey of what a brand actually is, how people relate to brands, what makes a brand successful (or a failure), and how you should start talking to your clients about “brandmarks” and not “logos.”—Andrew Sabatier
