Certainly design for a company that has a clear visual identity is not 
the same thing as establishing a clear visual identity for a company 
that has none.

There would, however, be value in seeing a visual articulation of the 
brand since subtle differences arise from colors and images that do not 
from verbal statements.

A few years back I did an identity program for a photographer. When I 
presented the mark she said "You've captured what we said perfectly and 
we were wrong. Can we start over?" Seeing a real manifestation of 
statements brings a direct emotional aspect to a conversation that 
otherwise would be delayed until much wrong-direction work is 
accomplished.
