The problem / why this matters

A logo isn't an identity.

Most brands are stitched together from a logo bought on Fiverr, fonts grabbed from Google and colours chosen on a Tuesday. The result is a business that doesn't look like itself in any two places.

We build identity systems — strategy, story, visuals and voice — so every touchpoint reinforces the same idea.

In depth / why distinctive matters

Distinctive beats different. Recognisable beats clever.

The job of a brand isn't to be admired by other designers — it's to be recognised by your customers when they're tired, distracted and scrolling. That means coherent codes: colour, type, shape, voice. Repeated until they belong to you.

Strategy first

Before any visual work, we get clear on positioning, audience and the one thing the brand stands for. The rest of the system flows from there — or it doesn't hold together.

Distinctive assets

Following Ehrenberg-Bass thinking, we identify and double down on a small set of assets — colour, shape, symbol, voice — that customers can recognise in a second.

Built to be used

The best brand books are the ones the in-house team actually reaches for. We deliver editable templates, motion guidelines and tone-of-voice rules with examples, not just hex codes.

What's included

Strategy, identity, system.

Brand strategy

Positioning, audience map, brand idea and architecture — signed off before any visual work begins.

Naming

Where needed — shortlist, linguistic checks, trademark screening and final selection.

Logo & marque

Primary, secondary and responsive logo lockups, plus a distinctive supporting marque.

Visual system

Colour, typography, photography, illustration and iconographic language.

Tone of voice

Brand voice principles, do/don't examples and editable copy templates.

Guidelines & templates

A practical brand book plus editable Figma, Word, PowerPoint and Canva templates.

Process / how it works

From workshop to brand book.

  1. Discovery

    Stakeholder interviews, audience research and a half-day strategy workshop.

  2. Positioning

    Brand idea, positioning statement and architecture — signed off before design.

  3. Identity concepts

    Two or three distinct creative routes presented in context, not as floating logos.

  4. System build

    Chosen route extended into a full visual and verbal system across real touchpoints.

  5. Guidelines & rollout

    Brand book, editable templates and a launch plan — internal first, then external.

Case study / professional services

A 30-year-old firm re-found itself.

A regional professional-services firm was outgrowing its founder-era identity. We led a strategy reset, renamed two service lines and built a complete visual and verbal system. Year-one recognition rose sharply in tracking research.

Questions / answered

Questions, answered.

How long does an identity project take? A refresh runs 4–6 weeks. A full identity system is typically 10–14 weeks end-to-end. We give a real timeline with the quote.
Will we own the work? Yes — fully. All IP transfers on final payment, including source files, working files and any commissioned imagery.
Do you do naming? Yes — including linguistic checks and trademark screening with a partner firm where needed.
How many concepts will we see? Two or three distinct strategic routes — shown in context, not as floating logos on a white background.
Do you help us roll it out? Always. The launch matters more than the reveal. We plan internal comms, signage, digital and PR alongside the identity itself.
