Rebranding is a slippery slope. Just ask Hershey and Airbnb. Talk about disastrous logo revamps. Both companies — one old dog and one new – recently found out the hard way that there’s a lot more to a successful rebrand than merely tweaking your logo and hoping it will go over well.   

Before you take the risk of rebranding your company, it’s important to seriously think about whether you should retool your brand in the first place. If your target audience is changing with the times (and chances are it is), it’s a smart move to change along with them. Not just to maintain their interest, but, more importantly, their business. Or, if your competition is biting off a painful chunk of your market share, a brand makeover could save your neck.

The result: A rebrand that was widely dismissed as an identity crisis, a flop. Hard lesson: A rebranding that works requires much more than a basic name change.
