Frequently asked questions

Cognitive design, visual identity, subscription, pricing, timeframes: clear answers, all in one place.

Cognitive design means designing graphics from the way the brain actually works — attention, perception, memory, decision-making. Instead of merely aiming for « pretty », it structures the visual to capture attention, be understood, be remembered and trigger action.

Neuromarketing studies how the brain reacts to a brand (cognitive biases, emotion, attention); cognitive design applies that knowledge to visual creation. One observes, the other implements.

A visual identity is the coherent set of a brand's graphic elements: logo, colours, typography, patterns and usage rules. It makes the brand recognisable and memorable across every touchpoint.

The visual identity is the system of signs (logo, colours, typography). The brand guidelines are the document that sets the rules for using it. The logo is only one element of it.

It depends on the scope: logo only, full identity, guidelines, applications. At Maïkkom these are quoted on request — or included in the unlimited design subscription. Get a free quote.
