Praise for Designing Brand Identity

Writers have The Elements of Style. Managers have The Effective Executive. Chairpeople have Robert's Rules of Order. And now brand-builders have Designing Brand Identity. If you have (or would like to have) responsibility for managing, measuring, critiquing, or designing a brand, you've found your bible.
Marty Neumeier, author, The Brand Gap

Designing Brand Identity is a recipe book for brand-builders. Wheeler does for branding what Julia Child did for cooking.
