Short answer
Brand identity is the set of visible and verbal elements a brand uses to present itself, including its name, logo, colors, typography, imagery and voice. Applied consistently across touchpoints, it makes a brand recognizable and distinct from competitors. Brand identity is what a company creates, while brand image is how audiences actually perceive it.
