Refresh for The New Year!

Whether you’re looking to modernize your image, reach a new audience, or differentiate yourself from competitors, the start of the year provides the perfect opportunity to refresh your brand identity. 


Why?


Align with New Business Goals

Many businesses use the start of the year to set strategic objectives. A rebrand allows you to align your visual identity, messaging, and brand values with these new goals. If your company is shifting focus, launching new products, or expanding into new markets, a refreshed brand can help to communicate these changes.


Take Advantage of Budget Planning

Oftentimes, companies allocate budgets and set new goals and strategies at the start of the year. This is the ideal time to consider investing in updated branding materials, website redesigns, and marketing campaigns. Planning your rebrand early in the year gives the opportunity for adequate funds to be allocated towards your rebrand so that it can be successful, instead of trying to scrounge up money late in the year and not having the funds to execute it to the full extent or having to hold off on launching until the next fiscal year.


Maximize Marketing Opportunities

Customers are more likely to be paying attention to updates at the start of a new year as it is a common time for companies to make changes to products, services, and policies. This makes it the prime time to generate excitement with fresh marketing campaigns or identity. Additionally, if you plan to attend industry events or trade shows early in the year, a new brand identity or marketing campaign can attract a new audience and get you noticed by potential customers.


Stand Out from Competitors

The business landscape is constantly evolving, and staying relevant is crucial. If your competitors have modernized their branding or shifted their positioning, the beginning of the year is a strategic time to evaluate where you stand. A well-executed rebrand can set you apart and reinforce your unique offering.


Create a Cohesive Rollout Plan

A rebrand involves more than just a new logo or color scheme—it requires a well-thought-out strategy. The beginning of the year gives you ample time to plan a cohesive rollout, update all touchpoints (website, social media, packaging, etc.), and ensure a smooth transition for your audience.


Rebranding at the start of the year is a smart, strategic move that can revitalize your business and set the tone for success. By aligning your brand with your company’s evolving goals, engaging employees, and creating a buzz in the market, you position yourself for a strong year ahead. If you’ve been considering a rebrand, now is the perfect time to take action!

Back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of year for schools, community organizations, and family-focused businesses. Open houses, orientations, festivals, and school supply giveaways all provide opportunities to connect with local families. While everyone else is handing out another pencil or notebook, consider giving them something they'll actually enjoy using: a coloring book. Coloring books are interactive, memorable, and offer a fun way to keep your brand in front of families. Better yet, there are two ways to make them work for your organization. Branded vs. Custom Coloring Books Branded Coloring Books A branded coloring book starts with a professionally designed, ready-to-print book. Your logo, business name, and contact information are added to the cover, creating an affordable giveaway that's quick to produce and easy to distribute. Branded coloring books are a great fit for school open houses, community festivals, health fairs, pediatric and dental offices, libraries, parks and recreation departments, banks, credit unions, and other family-focused events. Custom Coloring Books A custom coloring book is created specifically for your organization. Instead of placing your logo on an existing design, every page features original artwork and content that reflects your business, mission, or message. You can include your mascot, products or services, local landmarks, educational topics, safety tips, puzzles, activities, or just-for-fun pages. Whether you're introducing students to a new school, teaching healthy habits, celebrating your community, or explaining what your business does, a custom coloring book tells your story in a creative and engaging way. Give Families Something They'll Remember Back-to-school season is the perfect time to think beyond the standard promotional products. Whether you're looking for a branded coloring book featuring your logo or a completely custom coloring book with original illustrations and content, Behind Your Design can help you create something families will be excited to take home. Sometimes the best promotional products aren't the ones everyone expects. They're the ones everyone remembers.

When Superior Lawn & Landscape completed its new facility, they wanted an event that felt as professional and polished as the company they’ve built. Behind Your Design partnered with their team to bring that vision to life, creating an experience where every detail reinforced their brand. From the moment guests arrived, the Superior Lawn & Landscape brand was present. We managed signage, catering, beverages, entertainment, photography, and overall layout, along with rental coordination to create a cohesive, functional space. We also created branded giveaways and promotional items, including aluminum cups, koozies, journals, chapstick, bug spray, sunglasses, and lots more. Door prizes and a raffle featuring company merchandise added excitement and gave guests keepsakes from the day. The biggest visual impact came from something simple: the custom Hawaiian shirts. Seeing the team and staff in coordinated branded apparel instantly created unity. It transformed individuals into one team with one identity and reinforced the company’s personality in a way traditional marketing materials can’t. That’s the power of branded apparel.

Some projects are about creating great branding. Others are about helping bring a piece of community history back to life. This spring, Behind Your Design had the privilege of supporting the return of the Flint Soap Box Derby to Cronin Derby Downs, the original home of the Flint Soap Box Derby, where racing first began in 1969. On May 30, 2026, the newly restored track welcomed racers, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters back to the hill for the inaugural race at its historic location. It was a day filled with excitement, nostalgia, and community pride, but the impact of the Soap Box Derby extends far beyond a single race day.
