Logo, visual identity, brand identity – what’s the difference? Think of them as cascading layers! Your brand is much more than just a logo. It’s the story that connects, the emotions it sparks, and the message that lingers long after someone interacts with it. At dozanü, we go beyond the visuals and build a brand identity that resonates, inspires, and delivers real impact. Ready to stand out? Let’s create your unforgettable brand identity. Start now at dozanu.com! #BrandIdentity #VisualIdentity #GraphicDesign #Logo #Branding #Accessibility #AccessibleMarketing #Marketing #MarketingCompany #DeafOwned #DoMarketingRight #dozanuinnovations Video Description by accesszanü : The video features Ka Yun L., dozanü innovation's Senior Graphic Designer, wearing a dozanü shirt. Behind her is a large wooden-framed window, and above her, bold black text with a white outline displays a caption. The video transitions smoothly to an animated ending highlighting the dozanü logo and the website: WWW.DOZANU.COM. Transcript by accesszanü: Logo. Visual Identity. Brand Identity. What’s the difference? Logo. It’s your mark. It can be an image, a lettermark, an iconmark. Something that is recognized as the brand mark. Logo is part of Visual Identity. It entails any visual assets that support your brand such as colors, apparel design for employee wear, packaging design, font. And all that is part of Brand Identity. Brand Identity is about what people feel instantaneously about the brand. Is it happy? Tough? Exciting? Professional? Brand identity is crucial. It sets the foundation for the messaging and the voice. Here at dozanü, we don’t just focus on logo or visual identity. Brand identity, yes! We showcase your brand identity!

The background is white with a white credenza behind her. The video then jumps to Michelle Lapides, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of dozanü innovations, also sitting at a desk wearing a dozanü innovations tee with a trucker hat with brown-black rimmed glasses. The background is white with a lighting bar that alternates between a few colors throughout the video.

The video wraps with the ending bumper of accesszanü white logo and white text types underneath: “Accessibility suite powered by” with being stacked on top of "dozanü," where the letter "o" incorporates a pink and teal design. Transcript: Katherine: When we founded accesszanü, the sign is A-double Z. Why? We provide A to Z solutions in accessibility. It wasn’t just about providing services or creating a product—it was about solving a problem that’s deeply personal to me. What’s the problem? This world is built and designed with barriers that aren’t meant for people who are queer, women, and disabled to navigate. Accessibility isn’t a luxury; it’s our and your human right. But too often, government agencies, corporations, and organizations don’t know where to start. Where? What kind of accessibility services? Contact whom? What are the steps? That’s why we are here to provide accessibility that is seamless, easy, and it feels right. Michelle: We know and understand that access needs to be more than a compliance checkbox. It had to be transformative. With accesszanü, we provide tools and solutions— from sign language interpreting, translation, training + consultation, to digital accessibility— that empower governments and corporations to make meaningful, lasting changes. Our goal is simple: to create a world where everyone belongs. Katherine + Michelle: Access isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are.
