The Power of Consistency Over The Perfect Visual Identity
During my very first role, I worked under an incredible manager who remains my ultimate role model in leadership to this day. There was a specific moment while I was assisting her when one of her main objectives was a complete brand repositioning. The previous management had constantly changed the visual communication, obsessively searching for the most powerful graphic formula. When she took charge of the challenge, she did something incredibly simple but revolutionary.
Choosing A Valid Path
She presented exactly three proposals to the board. She explained that all three perfectly reflected the corporate identity, all three spoke clearly to the target audience, and all three were strategically valid. Then she told them to take all the time they needed to choose one, because as long as she was in charge, she would never put that decision up for debate again.
Why Consistency Always Wins
Her point was brilliant and undeniable. We had to start building consistency to become recognizable and to appear reliable in the market. The impact of solid consistency is infinitely greater than the pure aesthetic power of a specific color, a line, or a pictogram. Personal taste is highly subjective. What appeals to you might not appeal to someone else. Once a proposal respects the core identity, the values, and the brand promise, it is valid. You do not need to keep endlessly searching for the perfect design mix.
The Real Perfect Mix
The true perfect mix is simply having a strategically valid proposal and starting to communicate it with absolute consistency and coherence. That is where you actually win in the market. I will remember that meeting forever because it completely shaped my professional mindset. And guess what? She got exactly what she asked for and she delivered outstanding business results.
