The study covers five IT enterprises, Daum, SK telecom, KT, LG-U+ and MSN which recently changed its symbols and logos. The results indicate that those entities maintains its existing identities, and they focus more on the brand establishment than on the type of design. It implicates how brand identities would be developed in the future. As a whole, red color symbolizing `challenge and passion` and logotype visual images are in frequent use. That means linguistic images and matching colors maximize efficiencies to establish brand images. Therefore, each enterprise may establish its own brand images through visual expression. Moreover, enterprises should understand that it is important to have customers recognize its brands by establishing its strong identity system based on strategies focusing on brand analysis, and by communicating with them through differentiated visual expression factors for its brand identities.
