Keep in mind that consistency is the key to great corporate branding, so you’ll want to source a combination of brand art that works harmoniously together.
- Logos – Your logo will look awesome, framed prominently in your office or store! Even better, we can print it for you! Get multiple copies to amp up your brand awareness.
- Taglines – Your brand’s tagline is just as important as your logo, so it makes total sense to frame it and show it off. Get creative with your fonts and backgrounds to really make it pop!
- Stock photography – Add a variety of stock photos that really speak to your brand. It’ll help add an element of visual interest and further promote your brand’s story.
- Mission and vision statements – These statements act as a roadmap for your company, so it’s a no-brainer that they should be displayed in at least one location in the office.
- Company events – Showcasing photography that chronicles important company events is a great way to build your brand’s identity and a sense of teamwork!
- Graphic art – Look for patterns, shapes, and any other graphic art that mirrors your brand’s colors as another layer of visual interest that promotes your brand.
- Product art or ads – Show off what makes your business unique by framing product art or an advertisement. It’s a great way to boost your brand and enhance your office decor!
- Customer reviews – Good customer reviews not only boost employee morale, but they make awesome wall art when they’re framed, and they promote your brand, too!
- Team photo – Your brand wouldn’t be successful without the hard work of your team! Add a group photo to the mix to boost your brand identity and help new employees or guests feel welcome.

Why You Should Frame Your Brand Art
Once you’ve secured all the visual brand assets you’d like to showcase, it’s important to consider how you’ll frame your pieces. We recommend framing all your brand art for a couple of reasons: First, it protects your art from tearing, staining, and UV damage that posters and prints typically succumb to after a short period; second, it helps your brand stand out and look way more professional, as prints tend to get ignored or lost.
Keep in mind that cheap frames from big box stores won’t always work, either. They tend to offer less protection and are made with subpar materials that break down. Plus, if your framed pieces are in a high-traffic area, your art could take a beating; avoid the risk of having to replace your frames frequently by investing in higher-quality materials that stand the test of time.
Framing and displaying all your brand artwork helps promote consistency and brand awareness, so if you’re proud of your business, your products, or your team, framing those pieces shows your commitment to your company and your brand.
