  2. 41% of design-led companies reported greater market share and 50% reported more loyal customers (Adobe). 
  3. Consistent branding across all channels can increase revenue by up to 20% (Marq).
  4. 60% of consumers avoid brands with odd, unattractive, or unappealing logos, even if they have good reviews (StudyFinds).
