Branding & Identity

Brand identities people remember.

We build cohesive visual identities — from logo to full brand system — that make your business instantly recognizable.

What's Included

5 ways we build your brand

From a single logo to a full rebrand, here's the range of branding work we offer.

01

Logo Design

A distinctive, versatile logo that works everywhere — from a business card to a billboard.

02

Brand Identity Kit

Colors, typography, iconography and usage guidelines that keep your brand consistent everywhere.

03

Business Stationery

Business cards, letterheads, email signatures and other everyday brand touchpoints.

04

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Defining who you are, who you serve, and how you're different — before any design work starts.

05

Rebranding

Refreshing or completely reimagining an existing brand that no longer reflects the business.

How We Work

Six steps from audit to brand book

A brand is a system, not a logo. These six stages build the system in order, so every decision has a reason behind it.

Audit where the brand stands

We look at what you have now, what your competitors own, and what customers actually say about you. You cannot position a brand until you know the space it is standing in.

  • Brand audit
  • Competitor set
  • Customer language
  • Asset review

02 Strategy

Define what the brand stands for

Audience, promise, personality and the words you will use. This is the document every later decision gets checked against — including ours when we present a logo you did not expect.

  • Brand promise

  • Tone of voice

03 Concept

Three routes, not thirty

You get three distinct logo directions, each with the reasoning behind it and shown in context. Three considered routes beat a wall of variations you are asked to pick from.

  • 3 logo routes
  • Rationale
  • Shown in context
  • One revision round
CONCEPT ROUTESAAVMonogramBAvantiWordmarkSELECTEDCSymbolEach route comes with the thinking, not just the picture. Output — three routes, presented and explained
04 Identity

Build the full system

The chosen route becomes a system — logo lockups for every situation, a colour palette with real contrast ratios, a type scale, and the spacing rules that hold it together.

  • Logo lockups
  • Colour palette
  • Type scale
  • Spacing rules

06 Guidelines

Write down the rules

A brand book so the next designer, printer or agency uses it correctly without calling us. Clear space, minimum sizes, colour values and the specific things not to do.

FAQ

What clients ask before starting a brand

No, and the difference matters. A logo is one asset. An identity is the colour, type, layout and tone rules that make everything you produce look like it came from the same company.

Three, each a genuinely different direction with the reasoning explained. Presenting thirty variations is a way of transferring the decision to you rather than making it.

It has happened. One further round of concepts is included, informed by what specifically did not land. If the strategy stage was done properly this is rare.

Completely. All source files, the fonts we are licensed to pass on, and full rights. Nothing is held back and there is no ongoing licence fee to us.

Yes, and often that is the right call. An evolution keeps the equity you have built while fixing what is not working. We will tell you when a full break is genuinely warranted.

Six to ten weeks for a complete system with a brand book. A logo-only project is faster, but tends to come back later when the rules turn out to be missing.
