Branding that makes a business recognisable.
Identity systems and guidelines that make you easy to recognise, and easy to keep consistent as you grow.
01 / Overview
A brand is what people remember
People form an impression of a business in seconds, long before they read a proposal. Branding is the work of deciding what that impression should be, then building the visual and verbal tools to deliver it every time.
We start with your audience and what makes you different, and only then move to logos, colour and type. The result is an identity that a designer, a developer and a new colleague can all apply in the same way.
A good fit if
- You are launching a business and need a first identity that can grow.
- Your current logo works, but nothing around it looks consistent.
- You are repositioning, merging or entering a new market.
- Your brand needs to work on screens, in print and on social channels.

05 / Questions
Common questions
What is the difference between a logo and a brand identity?
A logo is one mark. An identity is the whole system around it: colour, type, imagery, voice and the rules for combining them. The system is what makes your materials look and sound like one business.
Do you help with naming?
We can support naming with a shortlist of options and the reasoning behind each. We do not provide trademark or legal clearance. That needs a qualified professional, and we recommend getting it before you commit to a name.
How do you make sure the colours are accessible?
We test text and background pairings against WCAG 2.2 contrast requirements while choosing the palette, and we record which pairings are safe for which uses in the guidelines.
What do we receive at the end?
Final asset files, a guidelines document and a short walkthrough. The exact list is agreed in the proposal so there are no surprises.
