In music, people hear your sound—but they *see* your brand. Your visuals are often your first impression. Consistency in look, logo, and aesthetic helps fans remember you and take you seriously.
Are you rustic, futuristic, clean, gritty, high fashion? Pin down a consistent visual style.
Action: Build a 1-page visual mood board using Pinterest or Canva.
You need a logo that works on merch, album art, and social icons. Simple and clean is better than complicated and busy.
Tools:
• Canva
• Looka
• Fiverr (Hire a designer)
Use the same colors and fonts across your website, press kit, and Instagram grid.
Tip: Choose 2 fonts (headline + body) and 2–3 core brand colors.
Post photos, cover art, and videos that feel cohesive. Fans recognize your vibe before they recognize your name.
Checklist:
• Consistent filter/preset
• Matching cover art layouts
• Repeating logo placement
Your aesthetic can evolve with your music, but don’t change it every week. Rebrand intentionally with each major release or album.
Final Thought:
Visual branding isn’t about being flashy—it’s about being memorable. Show the world exactly who you are at a glance.
