FOUNDATIONS
Alignment before design
We dig into your market, audience, and competition to define a position you can explain in one sentence.
STRATEGY
Brand positioning and messaging framework
We define what makes you different and what to say about it.
Your brand structure and audience research become the reference for every page, deck, and campaign that follows.

PROCESS
How a brand identity project runs
Four to five weeks, four stages, and three rounds of revisions. The first round happens before any identity work begins.
A clear brand is easier to trust and harder to forget.
RESEARCH & POSITIONING
We start with a questionnaire and a conversation about where the company stands today and where you want it to go. From there, we look at the market and the competitors you are measured against.
CREATIVE DIRECTION
Moodboards set the creative territory before anything is designed. This is where we agree on the tone and the references, and where the direction changes if it is wrong. Nothing gets built on a direction you have not agreed on.
VISUAL IDENTITY
Logo and variations, typography, colour palette, the patterns and graphic elements that sit around them. You see it as a full presentation, give feedback, and see it again revised.
BRAND SYSTEM
Everything comes together as a brand system with usage guidelines and worked examples, so your team knows what to do with it. You get the final brand guidelines and the source files.

Questions we hear. Answers that matter.
What does a brand identity project include?
Research, direction, identity, and a system you can use without us. We start with market and competitor research, then moodboards to set the creative territory. The identity follows: logo and variations, typography, colour palette, and patterns. You end with brand guidelines, usage examples, and the source files.
How many revision rounds are included in a brand identity project?
Three. The first comes during the research and moodboard phase, before any identity work begins. The second follows the first full presentation, and the third follows the revised one. If you need a fourth, we agree the extra work and what it costs before it starts.
How long does a brand identity project take?
Four to five weeks, from the first call to the final files. That assumes feedback comes back within a few days at each of the three revision points. If it takes longer on your side, the project takes longer, and we tell you at the time rather than at the end.
What does a client need to prepare before a branding project starts?
Before the project begins, the client should provide an overview of the company as it stands today, share their vision and ideas for the future, and complete a questionnaire we provide. This helps us understand the business, define the key challenges, and establish the right strategic direction for the project from the start.
What happens if we do not approve the first direction?
We go back. That is the purpose of the research and moodboard phase we develop before starting the visual identity itself. If the proposed direction doesn’t feel right, we use the feedback to understand what is missing or misaligned and refine the direction before moving forward with the identity.
Should we hire a branding agency or a freelancer?
The main difference lies in the level of communication and support throughout the project. You’ll have a dedicated team, including a designer focused on developing the brand identity and a project manager responsible for communication, coordination, and keeping the project on track. This ensures clear communication at every stage, efficient feedback and decision-making, and that the project stays aligned with the agreed timeline and deadlines.
