When a business outgrows its own identity
Identity fatigue is rarely announced by a design problem. It arrives as friction in sales conversations that used to be easy.
The early signals are commercial, not aesthetic: prospects underestimate scope, the team over-explains, and pricing conversations begin from a lower anchor than the work deserves.
A brand becomes a liability the moment it describes a smaller company than the one operating today.
The remedy is rarely a full reinvention. More often it is a positioning correction expressed through a disciplined identity revision — enough change to reset perception, not so much that accumulated recognition is discarded.
