the part of a corporate identity that can be expressed in words - usually including values, vision statement, proposition, positioning, brand promise, key characteristics, tone of voice. It underpins the visual parts of the identity such as logos, colourways, graphic architecture etc.

The historic root of human dysfunction. The sense that each of us belongs to a group - or tribe - from which we derive our idea of who we are, what we call ourselves, what we believe, whom else is a member and who is excluded.
Whether rooting for a sports team or voting along party lines, we divide ourselves into 'us' and 'them', as humans have done for millennia. It leads us to war. At a minimum we endure a chronic state of para-warfare.
He could not fathom how she had voted for Biden! She in turn looked with speechless amazement at his mindless devotion to ... she could not bring herself to utter that reviled name!

When someone has been pressured to identify themselves, but is not yet self aware, by someone claiming to be an authority.
This often comes up with police trying to get your ID, school wanting to know about family and what you eat for breakfast, politics whating you to side with a party instead of refusing to get involved in party politics and be an issue based voter.
Not to be confused with sexualy orientation by way of identity, social identity in that how you look is not your identity but how other people precieve you and in turn treat you.

When a user-member on the BeatYourTruck.com forum can't decide on a permanent avatar and so eludes to a recurring format of unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable recognition.
At first I didn't recognize that avatar, but upon closer inspection it turns out that noob moderator has a mixed identity.
