abstract
Color is one of the elements requisite for enhancing corporate images. Color itself can easily remind of the corporation, and it is an important element that can convey even sensibility images. So, color is an image element that symbolizes the corporation and its importance is being magnified. It also takes a role in enhancing corporate images. We in this study used the Charles Egerton Osgood`s Semantic Differential Method (SD method), an sensibility evaluation, to analyze the influence of sensibility felt by color identity in building corporate images. We classified logos of global corporations into 12 colors, investigated and analyzed both the logos with original color and the changed ones with complementary colors. This study was designed to investigate how color identity influences in forming corporate images so that we can evoke the importance of color identity and suggest ideas that can be a guide when developing corporate images. An coherent strategy of color identity can help form corporate images, and constant exposure of the color can be another distinct asset of a corporation. Through this study, we could draw a conclusion that color identity is closely connected with forming corporate images.
