(Guest writer: Manas Chowdhury)

From publishing an artist’s resignation letter on the internet, trademarking the word “zombies”, and now giving a whole new meaning to terms such as Captain, Iron, Thunderbolt, and many others — there is nothing this Studios would step back from. Yes, I am a Marvel fan, and it seems obvious.

However, its amazing graphics, storytelling, and an interesting sense of how regular superheroes can be, are not the only aspects that pull us into the Marvel Universe. In fact, it is more about how they combined it all together to connect with the audience like none of the others in the industry.

Branding Formulas to Live By

Marvel Studios have not only impressed the world with their independent movies but also showed how an ongoing narrative is done in the right manner. Through this ongoing narrative, a brand like never before has taken its place in the cinema industry.

“Just because something works, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved.” — Shuri, Black Panther

Up until the year 2019, Marvel Studios had enjoyed a commercial success worth $14 billion through 21 consecutive, top-ranking movies in the course of 11 years. Starting with ‘Batman and Robin,’ the entire Marvel universe has been disrupting the industry which was presumed extinct as per some of their competitors.

Speaking of competitors, I understand that many of the cinematography enthusiasts have a question: with DC’s characters being more recognizable as compared to the Marvel characters, why does MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) hold 1st place commercially and in overall success? The answer is its branding approaches.

Taking (Calculated) Risks

We have come across this phenomenon a lot of times in our lives, but to understand it a bit deeper — and inaction — let us see what Marvel Cinematic Universe has to portray. Here are some calculated risks which were taken by Marvel Studios:

• Even with the ‘The Incredible Hulk’ leading MCU to the bench, the company did not change its course from highlighting Avengers.
• Some viewers may not understand — and do not — understand the Marvel universe if they step in at a random movie without knowing the backstory of characters and plots. However, that did not stop MCU from creating storylines from the very beginning.
• Attempting to bring change through a genre exploration and bringing action comedies, ‘Ant-Man’ and ‘Guardians,’ into the universe.

Having said that, Marvel Cinematic Universe made sure that these risks were not an impulse or a hunch, but a calculated path towards exploration. Take it from MCU, taking risks does not have to be a hasty decision.

Instead, a careful and well-researched risk can take the brand places you would not imagine.

Read in detail: What You Can Learn from the Marvel Cinematic Universe About Taking Risks

Being the First

Okay, be it the first one to ask a question in a class or the first one to build the Wright Flyer, it will always have its pros and cons. For instance, Apple did not act promptly on launching mp3 players, but the iPod was certainly worth the wait. On the contrary, Samsung amused us all by being the first one to launch flip phones but did not see success at its best.

Having said that, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has managed to do it all. Not only is Marvel Studios the first one to create interconnected movies, but it has managed to do it right in all manners.

Following the MCU, Warner Bros’ DC Comic Studios and Universal Pictures have also given their shot at creating a universe out of their movies and series. While DC did it effectively, Universal Pictures tried to force-feed the viewers with sequels at a lighting speed, giving them no time to get invested in a character or plot.

All in all, Marvel Studios is a brand you look up to when you want to combine promptness with effective storytelling and patience and create a brand up to similar standards.

Understanding the Importance of People

With time, entrepreneurs, hiring managers, and brand managers understand that products, increasing sales, and customers are not all the ingredients when it comes to brand fruition. However, you can be a brand that understands the importance of people but undervalues them all the same.

If we zoom in on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we will notice that their key is not to simply hire talented people, but also to keep them and enrich their talent for the greater good of everyone: the people as well as the brand.

The universe did not only lock in some on-screen actors but also does the same with the off-screen people involved in the entertainment industry. On the other hand, Warner Brothers face struggles in engaging the viewers with the same artist for more than 3-4 years.

I understand, to this approach, many hiring managers might come across a concern that this can lead to missing out on fresh talent and create a monotonous environment, especially in the entertainment industry. However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has successfully proven that it is not true.

You can work with the same employees and achieve growth at the same or higher rate without having to go through the hiring trouble every 2 years. All you have to do is align your teams’ goals with your brand and ensure that it benefits every member of the company.

Working on Brand Consistency

Beating its competitors at Brand Linkage score, Marvel Cinematic Universe indicates more consistency than any other brand. For instance, even with a better character arc(s), DC’s inconsistent character connections led to a decrease in audience engagement.

The company takes brand consistency under its to-do lists and has not removed it for more than 10 years; including promotions, designs, characters, and trailers.

I would like to highlight that you need not be a well-established brand such as Marvel Studios to give attention to consistency. Even as a budding brand or startup — especially as a budding brand or startup — you need to make sure that your brand is memorable and recognizable, which cannot be achieved without being consistent with your marketing, product packaging, designs, and other aspects of branding.

Becoming a Brand Like Marvel

Firstly, no, it will not be easy; but no, it is neither impossible. The key is to understand that with the world having access to almost everything through the internet — what your brand does, what it stands for, who works for it, what others have to say about it — every tiny detail matters.

Even with Marvel Studios, if something as impactful as backstory needs attention, so do the silly jokes and callbacks of the same jokes. In fact, this is what helped MCU build a web of characters that is interesting and relatable, all while being a superhero. For instance, Captain America was an orphan, insecure kid who had an urge to prove himself.

Similarly, Black Panther turned out to become an orphan in adulthood, overcoming his demons to become a better man. Both these leaders are adored because the audience sees themselves in those capes.

Similarly, your brand needs to be relatable, inspiring, and consistent to reach its fullest potential. You may not have superheroes doing it for you, but being authentic, transparent, approachable, motivated, and innovative are some powers you and your brand will always have, and fly using the same to reach the peak.

(Guest writer: Amtul Rafay)

Logos are one of the core parts of a company’s branding strategy. These company symbols are the first thing that a consumer is exposed to. If it does not portray your brand message effectively, it will fail to attract and drive leads to the company.

Although there are many other components to a business’s branding plan, the logo occupies a special place of importance. As a visual medium of communication, it’s the logo’s job to convey your brand values and message to a possible lead, attracting them into wanting to learn more.

Moreover, it helps people remember your brand more easily. Statistically, people find it easier to absorb information visually than through any other medium. And if the logo design itself is simple, it makes it even easier for a consumer to remember and associate that symbol with your brand.

According to RenderForest, logos are the most recognizable brand identifiers at 75% in 2021. Therefore, let’s look at how the design of your logo can affect consumers’ perceptions of your brand.

Simple Design Equals Highly Memorable

If you look at a few of the most famous symbols depicting a business or personal brand, you will notice that they all have one thing in common. They all sport a simple yet distinct design.

Suppose we take the example of the McDonald’s logo. The simple golden arches of the symbol have become so iconic that even a child as young as four years of age can recognize it by design alone. However, it is so distinct that it is hard to mistake the logo for anyone else’s.

Similarly, logos for brands like Twitter, Facebook, and Nike are simple in design yet sufficiently unique. Consumers do not find it hard to associate with the brand. All these examples point to one fact – the simpler the design, the easier it is for a consumer to remember it.

But it takes a fine line between making a logo unique and straightforward and turning it into a generic design. Moreover, your logo needs to be able to embody and portray your brand message effectively. Let’s look at a few symbols to understand how to keep your design simple yet effective.

Minimalist Logos That Effectively Portray Their Brand

In branding, we have many examples that successfully portray simplistic logo design effects on brand perception. From many fictional superhero logos to real-life company logos that have made their intended mark, minimalist designs have shown effectiveness.

Let’s take a look.

Batman Logo

Batman’s iconic logo has changed many times over the years. The underlying concept has always been the same. But over the years, changing notions of how specific comic characters should be perceived, his logo has taken on a darker color palette.

The initial design featured a simple silhouette of a bat with flared wings, thrown in shadow due to bright light behind it. The plan depicted the character’s predisposition to be a vigilante at night and be as stealthy as a bat. The design was predominantly created for print on paper. Therefore the choice of a brighter color combination was made.

Over the years, with TV and film eclipsing the popularity of print comics, the logo has taken on a darker color to portray the character and their personality better. Now sporting a deep black over dark grey, the new design suits Gotham’s vigilante aesthetic far better than any previous logo.

Captain America Logo

Next up, we have Captain America’s logo. Unlike Batman, Cap is a character that acts in the open. Moreover, he is meant to be a role model and a rallying symbol for the entire United States of America.

That is why the symbol and his popular color palette contain bright shades and a distinct design meant to stand out rather than blend in.

Sporting the colors of the US flag, Captain America’s logo features a big and bright white star in the middle of the shield. Encircling the star are four alternating colorful blue and red bands, signifying America’s trademark “stars and stripes.”

The entire theme of this simple logo effectively portrays the character as a bright, shining beacon of hope, strength, and trustworthiness. That makes it one of the best examples of how logo design can affect a brand’s perception.

Punisher Logo

Punisher is another character that uses its logo design to affect how viewers perceive the brand. In the comics, the antihero is usually working against established villains, making a reader assume that the character is a hero. Yet, the actions of the Punisher are often quite similar to those used by the villains themselves.

Now, this might have confused comic fans who were not aware of the character’s fictional history. However, the logo for the Punisher makes it assume that he is anything but a superhero.

Utilizing an elongated white skull over a black background, the logo can be easily considered a symbol representing one of the bad guys. Now you might be thinking, doesn’t that cause mixed signals in the minds of the readers?

Surprisingly, no. The entire premise of the character is that the Punisher doesn’t want normals or other good guys thinking that he is a hero. Yet, he doesn’t care what his foes feel about him. That is why the symbol is the perfect identification for the Punisher and gives the accurate perception that the character hopes to portray.

Twitter Logo

Now let’s come to a real-life brand that has used a simple logo design to affect consumer perception.

The name, logo, and operating concept of Twitter have always been unique. Taking inspiration from the short and shrill sound a bird makes, the social media platform developed a way to communicate via short messages.

The logo is straightforward, featuring a simplified outline of a small bird’s body, effectively portraying the name. And when taken as part of a larger branding strategy, it is pretty ingenious. The logo brings to mind the name of the brand, which makes us remember the platform USP.

The bright blue color palette also signifies freedom of expression that is the platform’s hallmark.

Logo Design and Social Media

An essential aspect of logo design for your brand is that it should look and be perceived the same, whether for a digital medium or a physical one.

That is where social media comes in. As one of the most popular and vital marketing tools nowadays, your brand logo must be perfectly legible and compelling.

Featuring on various social media platforms on different screen sizes, such as Instagram, which allows a maximum resolution of 180 x180 pixels, your logo needs to be distinct to instill the desired perception.

That is how a logo’s design can affect its brand’s perception in the eyes of its consumers.

Branding isn’t just what you do. It’s also how you present yourself. So when you’re creating your next branding strategy for your own products or clients, it’s important to take visuals into account.

There are new tools and techniques coming up every day in the field of web development. And sometimes, it gets pretty difficult to keep up with all the new advancements.

Therefore, in this post, we’ve put together some of the most exciting resources to help our fellow web developers to stay up to date. In this round of the series, we have tools and frameworks, a couple of learning materials, and some design resources. Without further ado, let’s jump to the full list.

Peeky

A test framework for JavaScript with some interesting takes. First, it includes a nice-looking UI where you can run and monitor the tests of each file.

Secondly, it supports modern JavaScript out-of-the-box, including Aysnc/Promise, TypeScript, and many more to come. All these I think make it stands out from the rest of similar frameworks.

Awesome Guidelines

Awesome Guidelines contains guidelines for code standard and best practices for many programming languages, frameworks, and development environments.

So, if you’re managing a team of developers, this would be a great reference for you to formulate guidelines for your team. You need to have it in your bookmark.

IDB KeyVal

Did you know that browser has a built-in database? It’s called IndexedDB. It works similar to SQL where you can add a database and the columns except that it lives right in the browser.

This library makes it easy to deal with IndexedDB. It addresses all the quirks and compatibility across the different browsers and versions.

Github Open Graph Image

Github has made an interesting update to their platform. Before this update, it used to looked weird when shared a repository URL from Github as it shows the repository author.

Now with the update, Github shows a more relevant image to the repository which includes the repository name, languages, author, etc. In this blog post, Github shared how it works behind the scene.

Absurd Design

A collection of abstract illustrations that look absurd. If you ever need to design a website with a unique persona, you can try to use these illustrations in your design. The illustration comes in two formats: PNG and SVG.

WVSC

A custom VSCode theme. It comes in a light and dark color scheme and looks great in Retina and in HTML, CSS, and JS codes. Another nice looking theme, you should install to give your code editor a fresh look.

Schema API

A tool where you can parse a website to get structured meta data of the website defined in Schema.org. A pretty handy tool to spy on what your competitors are doing with their metadata. Also, it’s free.

Boxicons

A collection of icons designed for web designers and developers. The collection contains more than 1500 icons from various categories. Here you can find some regular icons to build websites and apps as well as logos of popular tech and services.

Shiki

A lightweight JavaScript library to highlight code syntax with the proper color. It’s fast and supports 100 languages out-of-the-box including one written in traditional Chinese. It also includes some popular themes such as Monokai, Dracula, Github both dark and the light versions.

Bulletproof React

A pre-defined architecture that covers almost everything you need to build a robust application using React.js. It sets the directory structure and configuration, styled components, state management, authentication, testing, etc.

It’s a great time saver and allows you to start developing immediately. If you ever need to build an application with React.js, this is a great starting point.

Torchlight

A library to render code syntax with a proper color that requires no JavaScript. Yes! unlike similar libraries for the purpose, Torchlight runs on the server-end and outputs a fully rendered HTML with the syntax colors. It supports many lanuages and provides several themes out-of-the-box.

Laravel Zero

A framework to create a command-line (CLI) using Laravel. It comes with some different takes than one built-in Laravel. For example, it adds support for an interactive menu where you can select options right in Terminal, and the ability to send a desktop notification to name a few. It’s a framework to build a robust CLI application.

WP-CLI Fixtures

A WP-CLI extension to generate dummy content. You can generate not only posts but other types of content in WordPress such as Menu, Taxonomy, and Users. This comes in handy for performing automated testing.

Starship

Starship is a tool that extends the Shell environment. It adds command completion, extra information of your current projects such as the current Git branch, Git metrics, and version of the current programming language.

It also provides many options that make Shell environment more joyful to use and boost productivity.

HTTPie

A modern command-line application to perform HTTP requests. Unlike some of the existing apps, HTTPie provides a more intuitive syntax. It also has JSON support built-in with more readable output. It’s an all-around HTTP client that helps you be more productive when dealing with HTTP requests.

Learn Anything

Interested in learning something new but not sure where to get started? Head over to this unique search engine that will provide you with guidelines and resources for learning materials. You can search anything – from web design to mobile applications, etc.

VSCode JS Debug

The new and improved JavaScript debugger for Visual Studio Code. It works across different platforms, not only in the browser like Chrome and Edge but also Node.js environment and a VSCode extension.

Lint Staged

Keep your source in compliance with the code standard with this extension. It allows you to check code upon staging it in Git and would prevent it to push before it passes the check. It’s pretty handy if you manage a project in a team or open-source with multiple contributors.

ChromePHP

This PHP library allows you to orchestrate a Chrome-headless through PHP. You can use this library to run some automation testing in the browser. I’m sure PHP developers would appreciate this library as they can maintain most of their projects that are using a single language: PHP.

Vitesse WebExt

A boilerplate and development environment to get you up quickly on developing browser extensions built on top of Vue.js and its supporting components.

It also has taken care of the prerequisite configurations such as with the WebExtension polyfills, WindiCSS for styling, ESLint for code lint, TypeScript, etc.

Commenting is built right into WordPress – which is great. But utilizing the default setup is an invitation to a big old mess.

Annoyances such as spam and the potential for abuse can make a blogger seriously consider closing off comments altogether. It’s understandable but far from hopeless.

There are several quality plugins out there to help take the pain out of utilizing comments on your WordPress website. Here are 10 worth considering when you’re looking to improve an otherwise unruly situation.

Lazy Load for Comments

A long thread of comments can be a drag on site performance. Lazy Load for Comments helps by deferring this content until it’s actually in view.

Choose between loading comments on scroll or via a button click. Either way, it should speed up your website.

Disable Comments – Remove Comments & Stop Spam

Perhaps there are certain areas of your website where you’d like to turn off commenting. Disable Comments can help. The plugin lets you remove commenting from any WordPress post type.

If you’re using multisite, it will also let you turn off comments for individual network sites as well. And, if you no longer use comments, you can disable them completely.

WP Social Comments

Facebook has billions of users. Therefore, it’s likely that your site’s readers also have an account with the social media behemoth. WP Social Comments lets you take advantage by integrating Facebook-based comments onto your website.

The pro version of the plugin offers more customization and the ability to moderate comments directly from the Facebook app.

DCO Comment Attachment

Community-based websites may find DCO Comment Attachment quite handy. As the name suggests, it allows file attachments to be uploaded in the WordPress comments area.

Administrators can restrict the feature to logged-in users, specific file types, and choose how those files are displayed. It even works in conjunction with various lightbox plugins.

Subscribe To Comments Reloaded

Subscribe To Comments Reloaded provides your readers an opportunity to receive new comment notifications via email.

Admins will love that the emails can be fully customized (HTML is allowed) and that subscriptions can be disabled for specific posts.

Akismet Anti-Spam

Sure, everybody knows about this one. But if you haven’t used it, you’re missing out. There’s a reason why Akismet is included by default with every WordPress install – it works. Spam is reduced to rubble as the plugin scans incoming comments.

You can even choose to automatically discard comments marked as spam – a real timesaver. The plugin is free to use for personal blogs, but commercial use requires a subscription.

Anti-Spam

The biggest problem when it comes to comment spam is those pesky bots. They hammer away at any post with open comments. Trying to squash it on your own will drive you crazy. Anti-Spam is there to do away with spam that comes from bots.

Just install the plugin, and it will start detecting and removing the junk. Their pro version will also help you take care of spam from human sources as well.

wpDiscuz

wpDiscuz provides a boost to the native WordPress comment system. It uses Ajax, so everything loads super-fast. You can also create your own custom comment form fields to gather more extensive user info.

Plus, it’s compatible with other popular plugins such as Akismet and BuddyPress (commercial add-ons are available for more integrations). Overall, it’s a completely modern facelift for commenting.

WP Ajaxify Comments

So maybe your comments area doesn’t need a total facelift – just some more efficiency. WP Ajaxify Comments will do that in the form of adding in some common-sense Ajax.

That means comments will be validated and loaded in without the need to refresh your entire post. It takes some load off of your server and generally makes for a better user experience.

Decent Comments

Decent Comments provides a highly-configurable widget, shortcode and API that enables you to display recent comments on your site.

Author avatars, excerpts, links and more can be included. Just about every aspect of the plugin is configurable to fit your needs.

A Few Worthy Comments

A well-managed commenting system can be of great benefit to a WordPress blog. While you can’t necessarily make everyone behave themselves, you certainly can provide readers with a place to voice their opinions and ask questions. Above all, it’s about making a connection.

The tools above can help get you by making the experience more pleasant for everybody.

One of the great aspects of starting your own web design business is that you can tailor it to fit your vision. Work with who you want, when you want, and set your own pricing. Sounds pretty ideal, right?

But what if you don’t have a clear vision of what your business should be? If that sounds like your situation, you’re not alone.

Figuring out what you want often takes time. In my case, it took several years of freelancing before I realized the path I wanted to take. And even then, things shift as the industry continues to evolve. Nothing is set in stone.

If you’ve yet to find that vision, you’re in the right place. Let’s look at some ways to better understand who you are and what you want out of web design.

Work with a Variety of Clients and Project Types

Not everyone starts out with a niche. But in an industry teeming with specialization, it’s easy to feel left behind without one.

However, there’s no reason to despair. In reality, you’re in an enviable position. It’s an opportunity to explore what’s out there, build your portfolio, and acquire valuable experience.

Since you’re not weighed down by a particular path, use this time wisely. Commit to working with a variety of different clients and types of projects.

This is often an effective way to get to know yourself. By covering the gamut of projects, you’ll find out which tools and technologies you enjoy working with. And it’s also a chance to learn which industries and price ranges work best with your business.

You should still have some basic guidelines, of course. For instance, it’s important to work with reputable clients who will compensate you fairly. A healthy screening process is always recommended.

The goal is to put yourself out there and absorb knowledge like a sponge. That’s the first critical step in building a vision.

Take Stock of Previous Projects

Each project is a learning experience. Therefore, the more you have under your belt, the better! Take some time to periodically revisit what you’ve learned.

When you look back, you’ll likely see that not every experience will have been a positive one. But those negative projects tend to be some of the most valuable. You can recognize missteps and figure out how to avoid them the next time around.

In addition, you’ll have a great idea of the things you don’t like. Whether it’s a finicky content management system (CMS) or a client who’s constantly changing their mind, these are important things to know.

Next, think about the positive experiences. What did they have in common? Perhaps they brought out your creativity or offered some exciting challenges.

This is when you can start to steer your business towards the places you want to go. Even if you don’t have a definitive vision just yet, you’ll be well on your way.

Embrace Flexibility

Web design changes year-by-year, day-by-day. Design trends come and go, as do the techniques we use for building websites. Just as important, client needs and expectations evolve.

That likely means your business will need to keep pace. After all, it can be nearly impossible to keep doing the same old thing while continuing to thrive.

As such, don’t be afraid to redefine your vision. Maybe you’ve settled on a particular type of project or technology you want to work with. That’s great – but don’t let it prevent you from branching out into other areas of interest.

Back when I started out as a web designer, I hand-coded HTML and created page layouts with tables. We may get a good laugh out of that now, because so much has changed. However, it’s unlikely that I’d still be in this profession without having kept up with the times.

Being steadfast in your vision is one thing. Being unable or unwilling to make the necessary adjustments is another. Sometimes, the writing is on the wall. Be attentive enough to read it.

Your Business, Your Way

Defining a vision for your web design business can bring about an entirely new level of focus. Instead of taking whatever comes along, you can look for projects with specific goals in mind.

This allows you to avoid the things you don’t want to do. Even better, it will help to establish you as an expert within your niche. You’ll have a detailed understanding of how to get things done. This is a huge benefit of specialization.

If you haven’t reached that point just yet – don’t worry. The journey takes time and will be filled with peaks and valleys. Besides, figuring it all out is part of the fun!

If you are working on a new website, service, or app, you should consider getting a jump start on your marketing campaigns by having a presence online that you can show to potential users or buyers, so that when you do launch, you can hit the ground running.

Coming soon pages are the first step in that process. You certainly aren’t showing the finished product – but it’s enough to start building up a social media following, gauge product interest, or even to get users to register for beta testing when ready.

But just because it’s only a temporary landing page, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be thoughtfully designed. The quality of the coming soon page you create can greatly impact the success of your product.

As it’s so important to have a thoughtfully designed coming soon page, we have a collection of some of our favorites. The coming soon pages are all fairly recent examples of pages that we think do a great job of explaining the product and building hype and excitement for those people who would be the service’s target audience.

If you are working on a startup or are looking to create your own prelaunch landing page, we hope this collection gives you plenty of inspiration and ideas.

Generally, the best pre-launch or coming soon pages all do three things well:

1. They build excitement by giving a quick, short insight into what the product will do, and what problems it solves.
2. They give some finer details about the features and benefits that it will have.
3. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, they give visitors the ability to sign up and register interest.

That last step is fundamentally crucial, as it means that – come launch time – you have a (hopefully large) list of potential users or buyers that you can contact to let them know your new product has launched. Good luck!
