Abstract
A great visual identity represent Malaysia is a great way for a tourist or foreigner to recognise our national identity. This includes elements such as landmarks, images or logo designs. A logo is an important visual communication resource for promotional operations, brand awareness and campaigns in particular, and constitutes an excellent way of ensuring that information or awareness of a brand is stuck into public consciousness. As such, a logo is most widely used to build and reflect the brand identity for an event or organisation. This research is made to develop a significant visual identity in order to promote Malaysia through an e-book. This e-book will help designers understand more about Malaysia’s identity of Malaysia while promoting and representing Malaysia. A significant amount of visual identity to promote Malaysia is analysed according to a visual analysis survey. The research is also based on a mixed method research. A total 20 visual stimuli were tested through a survey questionnaire across 120 respondents. The findings of the research showed that visuals from four categories - performing arts, festival, flora and fauna – rated the highest percentile. Suggestions for further improvements on the visual identity guidelines and the findings from the research eventually will allow researchers investigate visual types based on the stimuli that have been evaluated.
