About this service

Summary

You already have a solid strategy lined up for your business, but need an effective identity system that will capture—and keep—your customer’s attention. This will ensure you have everything you need to really kick off a strong brand, with a logo, colour palette, typography, brand assets, and social media graphics.

Process

Proposal & Contract
Once this proposal has been accepted, I’ll follow up with a simple two-page letter of agreement that outlines important details like rights, ownership, usage, and fees. Once we have both signed it, I’ll send the initial invoice and we’ll kick off the project!
Discovery & Positioning
The project kicks off with a deep dive into your business, story, objectives, goals, and overall personality. This begins with our conversations about your project and the comprehensive questionnaire that I provide. By immersing myself into your world, I’ll define what makes your business unique, and how to stand out from competitors.
Design & Refine
The discovery and positioning are brought to life through a variety of design concepts. Each direction is presented as a visual identity system that often includes logo concepts, typography, colour palettes, brand assets, imagery, and mockups to help you envision your brand in action. Your feedback helps refine the designs.
Package & Deliver
This is where it gets real! All of the project deliverables are neatly organized, packaged, and handed off. I’ll also include a simple document explaining the file naming and organization to make finding everything a breeze.
Now it’s time for your brand to become unforgettable!

What's included

  • Brand Discovery

    The project kicks off with a deep dive into your business, story, objectives, and goals. This begins with our conversations about your project and the comprehensive questionnaire that I provide. By immersing myself into your world, I discover and understand what makes your business unique.

  • Visual Identity Design

    Everything we’ve established up to this point comes together and is brought to life as 2–3 thoughtfully designed visual identity systems with 3 rounds of revisions. This often includes logo lockups, typography selection, distinct colour palettes, and various unique brand assets that give your brand personality.

  • Colour Palette

    I create a custom colour palette that matches your brand’s personality. This includes primary, secondary, and neutral colours. I optimize the colours for both print and digital use, making sure your brand looks great online and in-person.

  • Typography

    I select typography to complement your brand’s style, and develop a type hierarchy. This helps to establish consistency in your brand’s visual language.

  • Social Media Graphics

    Social media is everything, and your brand needs to be part of it. Profile graphics, banners, and post templates all come together helping you stand out online.

  • Brand Standards Guide

    The brand standards guide acts as your go-to document for how to implement all of these new brand assets properly, helping you build an incredibly strong and consistent brand across all mediums.

  • Deliverables

    All of the project deliverables are neatly organized, packaged, and handed off, ready to be shown to the world.
