This thesis represents the process of creating a corporate identity for the KRASna hiša institute
which is active in the field of herbalism and tea distribution.
In the theoretical part, corporate identity is presented in general. The importance and advantages
of a well-designed identity were examined, as it can emotionally lead customers to identify with the
institute and build their loyalty to it. This is followed by the presentation of the primary and
secondary elements. Primary elements include the logo as well as the choice of colour palette and
typography, while secondary elements include business cards, letterheads, envelopes and other
elements such as packaging and promotional materials. In the second half of the theoretical part
of the thesis, the graphic prepress is presented. This is crucial for a well-coordinated corporate
identity, as it enables the unification of colours and guarantees the quality of the product, regardless
of the medium on which it is presented. This section deals with additive and subtractive colour
modes and the differences between bitmap and vector graphics. The possibilities of saving in
different file formats have been explored in detail, and the steps required to digitally prepare
designs and graphics for printing and further processing into the final physical product have also
been listed.
The experimental part describes the procedures and working methods that were necessary to
create a corporate identity for the KRASna hiša institute. It firstly focuses on getting to know the
company and its competitors, as a good understanding of this is an important step in creating a
good overall corporate identity that is in line with the institute. Then the process of logo creation,
selection of fonts and colours and creation of secondary elements (business card, letterheads,
envelope, stamp, electronic signature, social media implementation, packaging creation and
corporate identity manual) were presented.
Throughout the work, it was found that to create a good corporate identity it is necessary to get to
know the company well and to focus on its values and goals. Creating a corporate identity is not a
linear process, as it is also necessary to return to simpler versions during the design process. At
the same time, great emphasis was placed on the graphic prepress for suitable reproduction on
digital media as well as on print preparation.
