Most identities are designed for the launch deck and fall apart at 32 pixels. Your identity holds at every size, from the shopfront down to the social avatar, and your team gets the rules to keep it that way.

  • Research

    What your competitors look like and promise, and the colours and claims they all repeat.

  • Positioning

    Who the brand is for, what it offers them and why they’d choose it, in one line.

  • Identity

    A logo, typefaces, a colour palette and an image style that belong together.

  • Voice

    A tone of voice, down to the words the brand never uses.

  • Guidelines

    Rules and worked examples your team can follow without us in the room.

  • Assets

    Your logo and colours as finished files, with your typefaces named and licensed. The working files stay with the studio.

  1. 01

    Brief

    We take your brief and map your market, then tell you if a refresh or new rules will do.

  2. 02

    Direction

    We design options for the logo and colours from what the research finds, and pick one to take further.

  3. 03

    Design

    We design the identity and write the voice, then refine both until they work on a business card, a website and a social post.

  4. 04

    Sign-off

    Will and Dave sign the work off, then hand you the guidelines and the finished files.

Specialist AIs draft it, one craft each. Will and Dave answer for your brand.
