Industries in Taiwan are promoting their Own Brand Manufacturing (OBM) design strategy to deal with the market competition in globalization. Nonetheless, how to create a successful product brand and establish the brand value within a very short time has thus become an important focus of enterprises. This study investigates common features existing in current styles and forms and the differences in identity perception between designers and consumers by constructing identity design models of international high brand value based on cluster analysis. The findings generated in this study indicated that: (1) 'Word marks' identities are more eligible and easier to be identified. Though 'pictorial marks' identities tend to be collective, they tend to be confused with 'abstract marks' identities in categorization. This suggests that the 'symbolic meaning' in identity can be easily overlooked in perceptual stage. (2) Similar perceptions are found in respondents of two different educational backgrounds, and there are six clusters of overlapping stimulants (83.46%). The main models include 'terse and neat text type', 'vivid and rhythmic text type', 'colored frame text type', 'mixed graph and text type', 'simplified geometric pattern type, and complex decorative pattern type. (3) Respondents often point out the identities by their styles and then color differences, though the complexity of design elements that had been identified before is also one of the key factors in attribute identification. (4) Brand value and identity design are dependent on consumers' comments and perceptions. This study investigates the highest common factor (HCF) of identity design, perception, and style through a survey on consumers based on cluster analysis. With the reliable and objective results, the findings in this study can be references for emerging brands in Taiwan. |
