Brand identity and visual language design

A brand identity isn't just a logo. It's the set of rules that make you look like the same company on your site, in your app, on an invoice and in an ad. I build identities that genuinely hold up in digital.

How I work
Design + development from one person

What you get

What do you have
when this is done?

The list below isn't a marketing promise, it's the delivery list. It goes in the contract too.

Scope

How the process
moves, step by step.

At every step I share plainly what has been completed and what comes next.

01

Brand discovery

We get clear on what you do, who you say it to and where you differ from your competitors. The identity makes that difference visible.

02

Logo design

I present a few directions and mature the one you pick. I test the logo at favicon size and in a single colour; a logo that fails there isn't working.

03

Colour and typography

I choose a palette built for screens that clears accessibility contrast thresholds, and typefaces that can be licensed for web use.

04

Usage rules

I document where and how the logo is used, clear-space and minimum-size rules, and the things not to do with it.

Deliverables

Everything handed
over to you.

On a one-off project, the source code, design files and accounts are yours once it's complete, and you're under no obligation to keep working with me. If you continue with a monthly arrangement, the working copy stays with me so the code stays current, and you receive it in its latest state when the arrangement ends.

  • Logo: vector (SVG), PNG and favicon sets
  • Colour palette with accessibility contrast notes
  • Typography selection and licensing information
  • Brand usage guide (PDF)
  • Social media profile and cover templates

Frequently asked

The questions
on your mind.

I moved the most common proposal-stage questions here; neither of us enjoys email ping-pong.

How many logo options do you present?

Usually 2-3 reasoned directions, then I go deep on one. Presenting dozens of options doesn't make the decision easier — it makes it harder.

How many revisions do we get?

Two rounds of revision on the chosen direction are included. If the direction is to change entirely, we treat that as a new round and discuss it.

Do we own the commercial rights to the logo?

Yes, all rights transfer to you once payment is complete. You file the trademark application yourselves; I provide the vector files in a format suitable for filing.

Do you design print materials too?

My focus is digital. I can produce basics like business cards and letterheads; for packaging and large print runs I'll refer you to designers with press experience.
