By , About.com Guide

Identity Systems:

Logos:
are symbols and/or type that help to quickly, visually identify a company or organization. They are used in almost all printed materials a company produces and along with color and basic design elements reinforce an organization's identity and name or brand awareness.
Letterhead and business cards:
are the basic items that most businesses use and are often the first thing small business owners will contact a designer to create. For small business on a tight budget the letterhead may do double or triple duty for printing invoices, fliers, or even for simple brochures. If you are working with a new or very small business you can create goodwill by showing them designs which allow them to use their basic letterhead for a large variety of other documents.
