Your brand is the first thing investors, customers and future hires judge you on — often before they read a word. A strong brand identity makes a young company look established, makes your marketing more consistent, and saves you from an expensive rebrand a year from now.
Our Brand Identity service gives startups and growing businesses a complete, strategy-led identity: not just a logo, but the positioning, visual system and voice that everything else is built on.
Who this service is for
- New startups preparing to launch a product, raise funding or enter a market.
- Growing businesses whose original logo or look no longer matches the quality of what they offer.
- Founders rebranding after a pivot, merger or move into a new audience.
What’s included
- Brand strategy and positioning — who you serve, what makes you different and why customers should believe it.
- Competitive analysis and market research — how your category looks today and where there’s room to stand out.
- Brand naming and tagline — if you need them, tested for clarity, domain availability and trademark risk.
- Logo and visual identity — a primary logo, simplified mark for small sizes, and versions for dark and light backgrounds.
- Colour palette and typography — chosen for personality and checked for accessibility and screen readability.
- Brand voice and messaging — tone of voice, core messages and how to talk about what you do.
- Brand guidelines — one clear document your team, freelancers and partners can follow.
Our process
- Discovery workshop. We learn about your business, customers, competitors and goals, and agree what the brand must achieve.
- Strategy. We define your audience, positioning, personality and key messages, and get your sign-off before any design starts.
- Design concepts. We present distinct visual directions, each explained against the strategy, not just personal taste.
- Refinement. We develop your chosen direction into a complete visual system and test it on real touchpoints — website, social media, presentations.
- Guidelines and handover. You receive every file, the guidelines and ready-to-use templates, plus a walkthrough for your team.
Deliverables
- Logo files in all formats (SVG, PNG, PDF) for print and digital
- Brand guidelines PDF
- Colour palette with HEX, RGB and CMYK values
- Typography system for web and print
- Brand messaging framework
- Social media templates
Timeline
A complete brand identity project typically takes 4–6 weeks, depending on whether naming and in-depth research are included. You’ll know the schedule and review points from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Do you only design logos?
No. A logo is one part of a brand identity. We start with strategy and deliver the full system — colours, typography, voice, messaging and guidelines — so your brand stays consistent everywhere.
Can you help us name our company?
Yes. Naming and tagline creation can be included. We shortlist names against practical tests such as pronunciation, domain availability and trademark searches.
We already have a logo. Can you refresh it instead of starting over?
Yes. If your existing logo has recognition worth keeping, we can refine it and build a stronger system around it.
Do we own the final designs?
Yes. On completion you receive all final files and full rights to use your brand identity.
