Logo & Brand Identity
A logo that sticks and an identity that feels unmistakably yours.
What this is
We design the logo and visual identity that everything else is built on. We choose the colors, typography, and elements that clearly express your business's character, not a passing trend. Every decision is made to work with equal strength on a small screen and on a large sign.
What's included
- Brand research & tone
- Logo design
- Color palette
- Typography selection
- Supporting visual elements
- Ready-to-use files
Logo & Brand Identity — the questions we actually get asked.
What is the difference between a logo and a visual identity?
A logo is one mark. An identity is the system that makes everything you publish look like you: a colour palette, two or three typefaces with their weights, spacing rules, and a photographic style. A logo on its own leaves every post as a fresh decision for whoever designs it; the system is what stops your brand looking different everywhere it appears.
Do we own the logo and its source files?
Yes, and the vector source files are delivered, not only images. Vector is what scales to a shopfront sign without falling apart, and what can be edited later. Delivering PNG alone looks sufficient right up to the first sign or the first embroidery — at which point you discover you own a picture of your logo rather than your logo.
How many directions do we see before choosing?
We present a small number of genuinely different directions, not twenty versions of one idea. Volume looks generous and is actually a deferred decision: shown twenty options, a client picks the least objectionable rather than the right one. Each direction is shown applied to real use — a sign, a post, an interface — rather than floating in space.
When is refreshing an existing identity better than starting over?
When the logo is known to your current audience and the problem is in its application rather than its idea: inconsistent colours, drifting typefaces, missing files. A refresh then protects what you built. Starting over is right when what you sell, or who you sell it to, has changed — at which point the old identity describes a business that no longer exists.
