Brand identity & strategy

Brands with a clear reason behind them: strategy and positioning first, then a logo, identity system and voice that work as hard on your website as they do on a sign.

Questions we get asked

What’s included in a brand identity?

Usually a logo and its variations, colour palette, typography, imagery direction, and a style guide showing how it all works across web, print and signage. Larger projects add brand strategy, naming and messaging.

Do you do brand strategy as well as design?

Yes. We start with a facilitated workshop to define your audience, positioning, personality and voice, so the visual identity has a reason behind every choice.

Can you refresh our brand rather than start again?

Yes. A refresh keeps the recognition you’ve built and modernises the parts that are holding you back.

Will the brand work on our website?

Yes. We design and build websites too, so the identity is created with digital use in mind from day one.

What does branding cost?

Logo and identity projects typically run from $10K to $50K, and full brand strategy from $15K, depending on scope.
