4 reasons that our brain thinks in pictures;

Fast Processing: Our brain quickly understands and reacts to things we see more than we read.
Deep Remembering: Our brain remembers things we see for a long time better than others.
Better Understanding: Our brain uses simple pictures to understand complex ideas better.
Quick Action: Our brain makes decisions faster when it sees things rather than just hearing or thinking about them.

... "Having a logo is the first thing an entrepreneur looks for after starting up their business because they know they need a visual identity. But the problem is that they think they only need a logo to create their visual brand. They get surprised when they find out their brand identity is not just about a logo.

Don’t worry, you are not the only person who thinks like that. I have always had clients who felt like you. Having a logo is not your entire brand; it is a part of your brand. Most of my clients tried trial and error because they didn’t know what a brand is and how essential it is. This is a big challenge for them, and also for designers. Yes, branding is so much more than a logo.

Would you like to know about it briefly? Imagine that you got invited to an event. Your first question is, “What is this invitation about?” The second question is, “What should I wear?”

It is easy to find out what the invitation is about if your host chose the invitation card design based on the event’s theme. The style of the invitation card ultimately sets the tone and the expectation for the event! Then you find the answers to your questions before reading the card.

A brand is like an invitation card. It talks about the value of your
business. It talks about who you are and what you do. Creating a brand needs strategy, identity, and marketing.

Yalda Night, also known as Shab-e Yalda, is a unique Persian tradition celebrated on the longest night of the year. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and is considered the birthday of the Sun god Mithra.
Yalda Night is a special time for community, reflection, and hope during winter. Families come together to connect and celebrate the traditions, bringing warmth and joy to all.
During Yalda Night, loved ones gather around a table decorated with pomegranates, watermelons, candles, and sweet nuts. Throughout the night, families share stories, read and repeat the famous poetry of Hafez, and enjoy seasonal fruits.
Happy Yalda Night to everyone who loves the victory of light over darkness!

... "Thousands of years ago, the caveman’s first invention was a hunting
tool. They sharpened stones by hand and invented tools for hunting
in order to survive. Also, they used hunting tools to illustrate images
on the walls of caves. They would draw pictures of everyday life, such
as animal hunting, planting crops, horse riding, birds, sheep cropping
the grass, and many more. It was the way that they could express their
ideas.
Then writing was invented by the Egyptians. It was called
“hieroglyphics.” The base of the hieroglyphics was an image. The
images helped to represent sounds and words. Well, I don’t want to
write about history. I’m going to talk about the logo. I said all the above
to show the roots of communication are images. The images have the
power to connect with you faster than writing" ...

What is visual language, and why does it have power?

Unlike verbal or written language, which relies on words and grammar, visual language employs visual signals to communicate, making it a universal and powerful means of expression. It serves as a method of conveying messages, ideas, and information through various visual elements.
