Brand identity

A logo, colors and type that carry your energy, with a simple guide so everything you make looks like you, on your website, your posts and every page in between.

People decide how they feel about you before they read a word.

Maybe your logo was made in an afternoon years ago. Maybe every platform looks a little different. Maybe you still find yourself asking:

  • “Does my logo still look like me?”
  • “Why does my Instagram look different from my website?”
  • “Which colors and fonts am I supposed to use?”
  • “Do I look as established as I am?”

A brand identity answers every one: one look, one set of colors and type, and a guide anyone can follow.

Why your brand isn't showing the level you work at.

Most founders have two or three of these at once. Here is each one, and how we solve it.

01 / 05

It was quick, it was free, and it looks like a thousand other businesses in your field.

How we solve it

We design a mark that carries your energy and your work, with versions for every place it will live.

  1. 01

    Your logo looks like a template.

    It was quick, it was free, and it looks like a thousand other businesses in your field.

    How we solve it

    We design a mark that carries your energy and your work, with versions for every place it will live.

  2. 02

    Every platform looks different.

    Your website, your posts and your slides were each designed in a different season, so no one sees one business.

    How we solve it

    One palette, one type pairing and one set of marks, used the same way everywhere.

  3. 03

    You don't know your own colors and fonts.

    Every new graphic starts with guessing, and the guesses drift further from where you started.

    How we solve it

    Your exact colors and fonts, written down with the codes, so nothing is ever guessed again.

  4. 04

    Your look is smaller than your work.

    The business grew. The look didn't. Your prices feel high because your brand signals an earlier version of you.

    How we solve it

    An identity at the level you work at now, so your prices feel expected rather than surprising.

  5. 05

    No one can create for you without guessing.

    A designer, an assistant or a VA has to ask you for everything, every time.

    How we solve it

    A brand guide that shows anyone how to use your mark, colors and type, so help actually helps.

The same business, seen two ways.

Nothing about the work changed. Only the first impression did.

Questions people ask before they begin.

How many concepts will I see?

We show a small number of complete directions, each with mark, palette and type together, so you can feel the whole brand, then refine the one you choose.

Is it credited toward a website?

Yes. If you start Tech Foundation or Strategy + Build within 60 days, the full price of your brand package is credited toward it.

Do I own the files?

Yes. Every file, in every format, including the editable source files, is yours.

Can you refresh my existing logo instead of starting over?

Yes. If your mark still carries meaning for you, we can refine it and build the rest of the identity around it.

What's the difference between Foundation and Identity?

Foundation gives you the look: logo, colors, type and a one-page guide. Identity adds a strategy session, voice notes, a full guide and templates, so others can create in your brand.
