Brand Architecture

VTEX's brand architecture ensures consistency all the time. It's imperative to understand the best use of our brand system in any of our multiple initiatives. Following the brand architecture is crucial to building a powerful brand.

The creation of new expressions of our main brand is always an strategic decision.

When it comes to create a new signature, product, event or anything that goes along with our brand, the decision must be thoughtful. The goal of having a good brand architecture is to ensure consistency. Everytime you think 'I need a brand', breathe. Then come here, check the rules and carefully choose a path, if a brand is what you really need.

Signature

Fit for VTEX's internal services, programs, and products. It's complementary to the leading brand, carries the message, and allows many ideas to come to life without much branding effort. It's the best way to build VTEX's brand reputation. It is good to remember that internal teams do not have any signature type.

Examples:

Campaign

Campaigns have a beginning and an end. They illustrate a season or create awareness for an opportunity. This scenario will need their own identity system resembling the master brand.

Criteria:

Visual freedom while maintaining a graphic connection with the main brand.

The VTEX brand is always present in the communication pieces as the owner

Ventures

If the service or product has its business unity within VTEX and can be marketed while decoupled from the VTEX Commerce Platform, this sub-brand can have its own identity but always resembling the master brand.

Criteria:

The VTEX name is always present as the first word.

Visual freedom maintaining a graphic connection with the leading brand.

Provides positive equity to the master brands.

The VTEX brand is always present in the communication pieces as the owner.

The Brand Team must approve it.

Examples:

Events

Many events require particular and specific awareness strategies. Occasionally, a distinction between the event identity system and the leading brands is necessary.

Branded events should drive awareness of the VTEX brand and use our visual system more consistently.
