Your brand is more than a logo. It’s how people recognise you, remember you, and recommend you.

Builds credibility and trust from the first glance.
Creates consistency across web, social, print, and signage.
Helps customers quickly understand what you offer.
Makes marketing easier and more effective.

Whether you’re refreshing what you have or starting from scratch, we’ll create a brand that feels like you and scales with your business.

Great branding is clarity made visible, simple to use, easy to recognise, impossible to ignore.

FAQs About Branding & Logo Design

Q: How much does branding or a logo cost?

A: It depends on scope. Logo-only projects typically start from £500, while full identity systems with guidelines and asset packs usually range from £1,200–£3,500. We’ll give you a clear, fixed quote before we begin.

Q: Can you refresh my existing logo?

A: Yes, if your logo has equity, a smart refresh can modernise it without losing recognition. We can also rebuild files into clean, scalable vector formats.

Q: What do I get at the end of the project?

A: You’ll receive logo files (SVG, EPS, PNG, JPG), a colour & type system, usage guidance, and optional brand guidelines. We can also supply social templates, stationery, and print-ready assets if needed.

Q: How long does branding take?

A: A focused logo project can take 2–3 weeks. A full identity with guidelines typically takes 4–6 weeks depending on feedback rounds and deliverables.

Q: Who owns the final artwork?
