What is a Brand?
A brand is a collection of tangible and intangible attributes that resonate whenever the brand is experienced. The benefits of a brand can be emotional, ie how it makes one feel and rational, ie the tangible reward that one gets from it. It lives in the mind of your target audiences.
A brand essence is the inspiration, vision and reason for being. Brand values are what the brand stands for and what it believes in.
For a brand to be successful it must be defined, nurtured and championed.
The brand essence and values provide a benchmarking code by which activities that promote the brand canbe measured.

Our LogoThe logo is a reflection of the Perseus brand, and the tagline, “Insightful. Innovative. Independent.”
The logo is important and crucial as it disguishes Perseus apart from other publishing companies. It unifies the other twelve publishing companies as a whole, and sets a universal mark for the company in the publishing industry.
The logo makes a simple, bold, and modern statement. It is an even weight sans serif typeface. The rounded type brings Perseus up-to-date, and sets it apart from other companies.
The following pages instruct and demonstrate on how to make the best use of the logo.

Logo Isolation The space around the Perseus logo is important. There needs to be an ample amount of space around the logo to not interfere with it’s presence and regconition.
Space ensures the legibility and integrity of the logo.
The clear space should be proportional to the logo dimension.
