Logotypdesign för att skapa Brand Attachment : En studie om konsumentens syn på vilka estetiska egenskaper en logotyp ska ha för att skapa brand attachment

Sammanfattning: Today's rise of brands makes it increasingly difficult to differentiate on the market. Logos are seen as one of the main tools to express your business and are one of the first things consumers come into contact with. In order to create strong emotional bonds with your consumers, brands need to produce logos with aesthetic characteristics to differentiate and appeal to consumers. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a deeper understanding of which aesthetic characteristics in a logo that creates brand attachment for consumers. Therefore, by examining whether color, shape and font affects brand attachment, brands get guidance for a logo design to best attract consumers to their own brand. The theoretical frame of reference consists of branding, brand attachment and logos with their aesthetic attributes. Based on this, a conceptual framework has been created to describe the connection between the logo and brand attachment from the consumer’s point of view.  Semi-structured interviews from a mixed inductive and deductive approach are conducted using a qualitative method. 22 respondents aged 18-25 were interviewed. Consumers aged 18-25 are described as the age group that finds it difficult to create an emotional bond with a brand and instead relies on digital technology. The results of the study showed that this was not the case. All respondents feel a connection with the brand in one way or another. The important thing was to feel a connection to the brand values and that the logo’s content reflects the brand’s quality. Color, font and symbols were important to take into account when designing the logo.
