Branding Identity

Put your best foot forward

We’ll design a brand that speaks to your business and your audience.

But it doesn’t stop at just a logo — we’ll create a toolkit for you to show off your brand including typography, color palette, pattern, and business application use. Then, we’ll nail down how you can pitch your business to clients with a messaging strategy that captures your audience.

Already have a brand? We do refreshes, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Each case is treated differently based on a number of factors:

    • Starting from scratch (new) or redesign (established)

    • Timeline (rushed or normal)

    • Amount and type of extras

    • Number of variations of drafts presented (1-3)

    • Rounds of edits

    After learning about your company, I will create a Scope of Work that contains all deliverables, a timeline, and the estimated final price (and payment timeline).

    A final brand package with all files will be emailed to you upon receiving final payment.

    While the complexity of your branding needs varies, the investment ranges from $1,500 to $3,000.

  • I usually book projects to kick-off a week or two after the initial reach out. Then, depending on the requirements of the project, the time from start to finish should take between 1-2 months.

    Note: projects may also depend on clients providing necessary items in a timely manner.

  • TLDR: no.

    While I love designing logos, they don't stand alone. A logo is only as strong as the presentation it's surrounded by. Take Nike: the swoosh can be recognized anywhere because of the brand it stands in front of. Without the rest of the brand, the swoosh would be another logo in a sea of graphics.

    So, let’s build what is essential to your great business: a great brand — complete with strategy, a cohesive visual identity, and the right building blocks to take you in the right direction.
