Brand identity

Look like you mean it.

A brand identity is how people recognise you before they read a word. It should feel like you, stand apart from your competitors and work everywhere you appear.

We shape the strategy first, then design the logo, colour, type and voice, and hand over guidelines your team can actually use.

Is it for you?

A good fit if…

  • You are starting a new business, product or venture.
  • Your look no longer matches your ambition or your prices.
  • Your brand looks different on every channel.
  • You blend in with everyone else in your market.

    Guidelines

    A clear, practical guide so everyone applies the brand well.

Every project is scoped individually. We agree exactly what is included before work begins.

Before you start

Worth deciding early

  • Strategy before style

    A logo is easier to judge when you agree what it needs to say.

  • Plan the rollout

    List where the brand appears so nothing is forgotten on launch day.

  • Check the name

    Confirm trade marks and domains before falling in love with a name.

Questions

Good to know

Can you refresh our brand rather than replace it?

Yes. Often the best move is to keep what people already recognise and sharpen the rest.

Do we own the final designs?

Ownership and licensing are set out in the project contract before work begins.

Let’s make something that moves.
