BRAND strategy and identity

We deliver brand strategy and brand identity design that strengthens what makes you different, from messaging and visuals to logo design and brand guidelines that scale with your business.

INGREDIENTS FOR a strong brand identity

    ONBOARDING & DISCOVERY

    We start with a discovery call to get to know you, your business, and your goals. Once we’ve confirmed the project, you’ll receive your contract, invoice, and be onboarded onto your personal Notion portal. This step ensures everything’s clear and we’re aligned before any design work begins.

questions about brand identity design

  • What’s the difference between a logo and a brand identity?

    A logo is one element of your brand. A complete brand identity includes your logo, visual identity system (colour, typography, layouts and graphic elements), and the guidelines that keep everything consistent across your website, social media and marketing.

  • Do you provide brand strategy before designing the visual identity?

  • What deliverables are included in your brand identity design service?

  • Can you refresh an existing brand or do you only work on new brands?

  • Can you design my website after the branding is complete?
