Brand consistency in every form is important to remain top of mind.  As we were walking in La Cumbre Plaza, we noticed the robin egg blue water dish for dogs.  Look at the water reflecting the true robin egg blue as the dish was in the shadow of a column.

Here is the store entrance. Note the ornaments and the gift boxes.  Can you guess the brand?

Here is the wreath on the wall.  It is full of diamonds and other sparkling items wrapped in the signature blue box with white ribbon.  By now you probably guessed that these photos were taken at the Tiffany store in Santa Barbara.  

 

The robin egg blue color is trademarked.  It identifies the Tiffany brand.  Even though the holidays are here the blue remains! These three photos reveal the importance of consistency in robin egg blue!

You are right, keeping it consistent helps the brand stick in people's minds. I like that they selected a speical color to remember.

They were quite consistent with their color.  Robin egg blue - When I was a kid my mom and dad bought a car in that color!  But, we didn't have the dog bowl to match!

Myrl Jeffcoat I should check and see if they sell those dog bowls, and if they are at all reasonable.  A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I knew it was Tiffany's but Fortnum and Mason in the UK also has that same hue. You would probably have to hold the boxes together to see the difference.

Yes, I could guess it was Tiffany just looking at either the tree or wreath.

Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert They are close,

And Fortnum and Mason is a little deeper, and greener

Glad you brought that my attention.  Have a great weekend.  A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - Marketing consistency with something as simple as a the color used in your packaging, and bags can become a signature look and brand!  Great example of how to do it right!

That's true attention to detail, when the dog's dish matches the brand!  They must have some serious branding consultants.  Would Tiffany be one of yours?

I wan't aware of that being their color but I don't shop there. I do love almost all shades of blue.

Hi Alexandra and Ron --- mention the name Tiffany and then add blue certainly presents a very recognizable image for many.

It's an unusual shade of blue, which helps it stand out.  Great point about consistency!
