Re: How your business looks

Dear business owner,

There’s a particular kind of frustration in knowing you’re better than your competitors and watching customers choose them anyway. Often it comes down to this: they look more trustworthy than you do.

That isn’t vanity. People judge quality, price and reliability in seconds, and most of that judgement comes from what they see before they read a word. A brand that looks scrappy gets treated like the cheap option. A brand that looks considered gets the benefit of the doubt.

We build brands that earn that benefit. It starts with strategy: who you’re for, what you stand for and why anyone should care. It ends with an identity that works everywhere it needs to, from your website and ads to your vans, invoices and Instagram grid.

We also know how the story continues, because we’re usually the ones using your brand in campaigns afterwards. So we design for the real world rather than for a presentation.

If you’ve outgrown how you look, let’s fix that.

Is this right for you?

This is for you if

  • Your business has outgrown how it looks.
  • You’re launching, raising money or entering a new market.
  • You want a brand that works across every channel, not only a logo.

This isn’t for you if

  • You want a logo for the price of lunch.
  • You’d like forty concepts to choose from.
  • You’re not willing to say what makes you different.

How it works

Branding questions

What’s the difference between a logo and a brand?

A logo is a mark. A brand is everything people think and feel about your business: your look, your voice and your reputation. We design the logo as part of a full system so it holds up everywhere.

How long does a branding project take?

Usually six to ten weeks, depending on whether naming and strategy are included.

Can you refresh our brand without starting over?

Yes. Often the smartest move is to keep what people recognise and fix what’s holding you back.

Will I get the source files?

Yes. You’ll get every logo file, colour value, font and template you need, plus guidelines on how to use them.

Do you name businesses?

Yes. Naming is available as part of brand strategy, including checks for domain availability and obvious conflicts.
