What is Brand Design?
Brand design is strategically creating your visual identity (logo) and other visual materials, like social media designs, to spark the desired emotional connection in your customers and create a long-lasting positive impression.
Through our design process, we’ll workshop what makes your business and service or product offering unique, develop the tone and presentation of your brand and deliver materials that communicate who you are and why your audience should care.
Full Brand Creation.
We don’t just create logos; we design and assemble complete branding packages that include custom typography, motifs, branded imagery and document templates, and updated brand guidelines.
Market Analysis.
We always validate our creative ideas with accurate data. We conduct user research and market analyses for all our branding projects to ensure we’re not just creating pretty visuals but building an engaging brand with your ideal customers in mind.
Branding Design Experts.
Our creative, commercially-aware graphic designers can take full charge of your branding design process, liaising with you to understand your goals and the direction you would like to take with your brand.
Brand Experience.
Sometimes, your brand just needs a little repositioning instead of a full rebrand. We can benchmark your current brand experience and help adjust your branding to improve customer engagement and loyalty.

Our branding services involve managing all aspects of the branding process for you, conducting industry and audience research, creating in-depth mockups, and developing clear brand guidelines.
Our goal is to create a brand identity that helps you stand out to the audiences that matter most, help you develop engaging brand messaging, and make a positive brand experience for people visiting your website, buying your products, or just interacting with your business.

“81% of consumers need to trust a brand before buying” – Edelman
Creating a positive brand experience that builds trust and authority with your ideal customers is vital to driving sales and growing your revenue.
We take a commercially-focused approach to branding, focusing on your broader business goals and existing challenges to create brand experiences that engage, nurture, and satisfy prospective and existing customers, leading to increased customer acquisition and retention.
Here’s how we do it. 👇
Branding Workshop & Client Discovery Session
At the start of your branding project, we’ll have a free-flowing discussion about your business goals, target audience, and typical day-to-day activities.
This gives our team a good understanding of your business and your requirements, which helps them establish a baseline tone of voice, define your branding preferences, and identify some of the issues you would like to address with the project.
Audience & Market Research
With a solid understanding of your business and what you want to achieve, we conduct in-depth audience and market research.
By understanding the competitive landscape in your sector, analysing competitor brands, and thinking about your brand from your audience’s perspective, we can design and create your brand to stand out from the crowd and resonate with your ideal customers.
Mood Boarding & Exploration
Diving deep into inspiration, we source visual elements, designs, and comparisons that we compile into branding mood boards. These mood boards allow us to demonstrate our working thoughts and creativity, helping us test and refine tangible design ideas based on your brief.
Logo & Branding Concept Creation
This is the fun bit. Sketching, drawing, editing, and warping. This is where we develop our ideas into defined logo and brand concepts.
Our design team will create multiple designs and logo variations, testing different illustrations, typographic styles, and icons. It’s all about what will work for you, the brief and goals we’ve defined, and, most importantly, your audience.
Colour, Typography & Refinement
Once the raw concepts have been created, we refine and sculpt them into final versions that we showcase to you.
Our designers spend time tweaking and fine-tuning the typography and iconography for your brand and developing primary and secondary colour palettes, basing their design decisions on the project brief, your business goals, and your ideal customers.
Presentation & Delivery
With all the elements combined, we present the concept, colour, typography, and brand mockups to you, reiterating the brief and providing the rationales for design choices and how we’re solving or achieving defined issues or goals.
Working collaboratively with you, we then make any final amendments and tweaks until you are happy to approve and sign off your fresh brand designs!
Brand Guideline Creation
With your new branding approved and ready for use, we’ll create in-depth brand guidelines for your internal teams to follow to ensure consistency in your website, social media posts, physical marketing assets, and other marketing channels.
These comprehensive brand guidelines cover the dos and don’ts of using your brand assets, such as logo usage, and consistent messaging, language, and grammar patterns.

Rebranding helps keep your business fresh and appealing to your ideal customers.
