What's included

Everything your brand needs to show up consistently

Branding isn't just a logo — it's the full system that makes your business instantly recognizable everywhere it shows up.

01

Logo & identity systems

We design a primary mark plus secondary and icon versions, a purposeful color palette, and a typography system — built to work everywhere from a business card to a billboard, not just look good in one file.

02

Brand guidelines

A living style guide that documents logo usage, color codes, type rules, and tone of voice, so your brand stays consistent whether you're designing it, a printer is, or a new hire is.

03

Packaging & print design

Labels, boxes, business cards, signage, and anything else your brand needs printed — designed to match your identity system exactly, production-ready for your printer of choice.

04

Merchandise & apparel

Hoodies, hats, stickers, and swag designed to actually get worn — because merch is free advertising when people want to wear it, not just when they're told to.

Our process

How a brand comes together

01

Discover

We learn your business, your audience, and what makes you different before we design anything.

02

Concept & explore

We present a handful of directions rooted in strategy, not just style.

03

Refine

We narrow in on the direction that's working and refine every detail.

04

Deliver the system

You get final files, guidelines, and everything needed to use your brand confidently.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a brand identity take?

Most full identity projects run four to six weeks depending on scope — logo-only projects can move faster.

What exactly is in brand guidelines?

Logo usage rules, color codes, typography, imagery style, and tone of voice — everything needed to keep your brand consistent without us in the room.

Do you design merch and apparel too?

Yes — apparel, stickers, and promotional items are part of a full brand package, or available as a standalone project.

Can you refresh an existing brand instead of starting from scratch?

Absolutely. A lot of our work is evolving a brand that's outgrown its current look, not replacing it entirely.
