Identity that earns attention and survives contact with reality.
Brand strategy, identity, guidelines and the day-to-day design that follows — built to work at the sizes and in the places your brand actually appears.
Start a Project
Identities usually fail in application rather than in the presentation deck.
Beautiful, and unusable
A logo that only works on a white square, a palette that fails on screen, type nobody has licensed for the web.
No rules, so no consistency
Without guidelines, every supplier interprets the brand differently and the brand slowly stops meaning anything.
Style without an argument
An identity that looks current but says nothing about what the business is for will need replacing as soon as the trend moves.
What the work includes.
Positioning, audience and the argument the brand is making — decided before anything is drawn, because it is what the drawing has to express.
Logo, colour, typography and the visual system around them, tested at the smallest and largest sizes you will actually use.
The rules that let other people apply the brand correctly, written to be used rather than admired.
The applied set — decks, documents, stationery, signage — produced as templates your team can reuse.
Ongoing campaign and social creative, made inside the identity so the brand accumulates rather than resets each quarter.
Concept, script, filming, animation and edit — produced end to end so the motion work is part of the brand system rather than commissioned around it.
How the work runs.
Brand Strategy
Research and positioning. The output is an argument, written down and agreed, that the design work then has to carry.
Identity Design
Routes explored and narrowed, then one direction built out and stress-tested in real applications rather than on mood boards.
Guidelines
The system documented — colour values, type scale, spacing, do and do not — so it survives being handed to other suppliers.
Rollout
Applying it across the places it needs to live, and templating the pieces your team will reproduce without us.
What you get out of it.
Recognisable at a glance
A system with a clear signature is worth more than a logo, because it works even when the logo is not in frame.
Cheaper to run
Templates and rules cut the cost of every piece of collateral produced afterwards.
Consistent across suppliers
Guidelines are what let a printer, a developer and an agency arrive at the same brand independently.
Questions we get asked.
Often not. A great deal can be achieved by tightening an existing identity and documenting it properly, and we will say so if that is what we find.
Font licensing is separate from design and belongs to you. We will specify what is needed and what it costs so there are no surprises at rollout.
Yes. Campaign and collateral work inside an established system is a normal part of what we do.
Fewer than you might expect, and each one properly argued. A wall of options usually means the strategy was not settled first.
Source files, exported assets in the formats you need, and the guidelines document. Everything is yours to take elsewhere.
