Branding
Branding is bigger than a logo — it's the strategy and rules that keep every touchpoint recognisably yours, from the website to a social post to a business card. We build the strategy first, then the visual system that expresses it consistently everywhere.
Typical timeline
3–6 weeks
Best for
New businesses, rebrands, or brands that feel inconsistent
Starting point
Starter identity → full brand system with guidelines

// QUESTIONS
Before you reach out.
01Do you handle trademark registration?
No, we design the identity itself; trademark filing is a legal process we recommend you handle with a qualified professional, though we can prepare the required visual assets.
02Can branding be combined with the website build?
Yes, this is common — branding is often scoped as the first phase of a larger website or product project.
03What if we already have a logo we like?
We can build the wider system — colour, typography, guidelines — around an existing logo without redesigning the mark itself.
