This thesis describes in detail the renewal through an improvement of the overall graphic image of Kamitex, a small family-run company primarily involved in design and printing. The company's poorly defined communication made it difficult to stand out and compete with others. With a direct desire to upgrade and stand out as well as increase turnover and competitiveness, we focused on a detailed study of the company's visual communication, a comparison with similar companies in the area of Kamitex's headquarters and the creation of an image renewal plan.
The theoretical part of the thesis comprehensively addresses corporate identity, its direct importance for the identity and visibility of the company itself. We have learnt that it is the coherent whole, i.e. the symbols as well as the typography and colours, that must correspond to the image, in order to present the company to the general public and to potential new customers or clients.
In the experimental part, the start of the redesign was based on a detailed study of the company and an analysis of existing graphic elements. The development of a new corporate identity started with sketches of various conceptual templates, followed by the digitisation process and further detailed processing. Together with the client, we compared and refined the sketches until we achieved a coherent whole and an appropriate visual representation of the selected company. Finally, the products were test-printed.
The results of our research and our work have shown that an appropriate and well-thought-out corporate identity is the key element for visibility, success and competitiveness on the Slovenian market compared to other similar companies. We successfully created a redesigned image for Kamitex, which included the creation of a distinctive brand, secondary brand, slogan, business card, letterhead, e-signature and filing folder, defining the style for social media posts, user experience design and website design. This will allow the company to communicate and present itself more clearly and comprehensively.
