Flying used to mean something, and American Airlines is trying to make flying meaningful again by delivering a better brand experience on the ground and in the air. Yet, most of the conversations about this rebranding effort seem to be focusing on the new logo. Of course, we all know that your logo is not your brand. This idea was first put forward a decade ago by our Director of Transformation, Marty Neumeier, and it's never been truer. So, I wonder why is it that so many people in our industry still talk about the logo as if it was a brand?

A pesar de esto, muchas de las conversaciones sobre este esfuerzo de rebranding se han enfocado únicamente en el nuevo logo. Claro, todos sabemos que tu logo no es tu marca. Esta idea fue planteada y difundida hace más de una década por nuestro Director of Transformation, Marty Neumeier, y nunca ha sido más cierta. Entonces me pregunto por qué todavía tanta gente dentro de nuestra industria aún habla sobre el logo como si fuese la marca.

It is a well-known fact that a workman is no good without his tools and Liquid is no exception to this rule. We have long held the belief that our brand tools truly define us and allow us to quickly discover the insights we use every day to turn organisations and companies from bland to brand. This is why we want to offer you a bit of detail about how these tools work and why they work for us. So, without further ado, let’s open up the toolbox!

Yes it's finally here, the Best Practices Report from this year's Liquid Brand Summit, held in March at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto.
