Service 04 - Branding & Visual Identity

Recognised before a word is read.

An identity is not a logo. It is the reason someone assumes you are the more serious option before they know anything else about you.

Who it is for

You will recognise at least one.

If none of these are true, this is probably not the work you need - and we will tell you so on the first call.

  • 01

    You look smaller than you are

    The work is excellent; the first impression does not say so.

  • 02

    Every asset looks different

    Three fonts, four blues, and a logo that changes shape depending on who made the file.

  • 03

    You are entering a new market

    What worked locally does not carry to the customers you want next.

  • 04

    You are about to raise or sell

    How you present is being read as how you operate.

What you get

Everything on this list, written into scope.

Nothing here is an upsell discovered later. The scope document you sign says the same thing this page does.

Questions

Asked before signing.

If yours is not here, ask it directly - you will get a straight answer, not a call booking.

Two or three directions, each fully reasoned - not thirty variations to pick from. We present the thinking first, then the artwork, and refine one direction properly.

Completely. Source files, fonts licensing guidance, and full rights are transferred on final payment.

Yes. We plan the rollout in stages - digital first, physical as it renews - with an announcement your customers read as growth, not confusion.

It is a separate engagement, but the two are designed together when you take both, and the design system carries straight into the build.
