Political Branding is the only and most significant thing for political campaigns in India especially in Telugu states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Let’s talk about Andhra Pradesh’s political Scenario.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) & YSR Congress Party (YCP) are the biggest political parties in the state, whereas Janasena is a newly emerging party with popularity.
If we go through the branding of the above 3 party we’ll find many things here.
Can you find out what’s the one thing that’s making them stand out from each other? Colours. isn’t it?
So let’s go through the color palette of each political party, and let’s understand the logic and emotion behind each colour.
So can you find out the difference now? Every party is using a colour palette different from their competitors. and here every colour has an emotion and reason behind it.
For example, the primary colour of TDP is Lemon Yellow. which denotes Optimism, Cheerfulness, Happiness, attention etc. In contrast, YSRCP’s colour palette is mainly green and blue which denotes nature, freshness, calmness, health and prosperity, and coming to Janasena the main colour is Red, which denotes passion, energy, power, danger, anger, celebration etc.
Let’s understand the logic behind these colours. When people think of a political party or a political leader instantly they get a connection with the brand colour in the first place. Political parties follow this colour theory throughout their campaigns on all platforms. From banners, flexes, social media, and websites, everywhere they use similar colour palettes to design creatives and do marketing campaigns.
Let’s see two different examples of Branding of YSRCP and TDP
So if we go through each of the above banners we see the graphic design trends.
So what are graphic design trends?
Design trends change every year. There are many modern trends like minimalism, maximalism, bold minimalism, typographic posters, 3d designs, grunge, stickers, doodles etc, out of which TDP is using the minimalism concept to reach their target audience with clear messaging with its brand colour Yellow without any picture of their party leaders whereas YSRCP is using the bold minimalism trend to make their stand clear.
