Identity that survives
the handover.

A logo is one mark. Branding is how the business behaves and is felt. A brand identity is the system between them: the marks, colour, type, voice and rules that make you look and sound like yourself everywhere a customer meets you. You buy an identity when one logo can no longer hold the business together, and what you get is consistency you can hand to anyone and trust.

Strategy decides what the brand should stand for and to whom. Identity makes that decision visible and audible. We run them in that order on purpose, because designing an identity before the strategy is settled is decorating a guess. Done in sequence, the look is not taste, it is the argument made tangible.

Often, a refresh. Around a third of our brand work is targeted: repair the wordmark, fix the colour system, rewrite the voice, without redrawing what already works. On the first call we tell you which the business actually needs, the honest answer, not the one that bills more. You leave knowing the smallest change that fixes the real problem.

It will not, when the move is planned properly. Lost visibility after a rebrand comes from a mishandled migration, never the new look. Because we also run the search and build the site, the identity and the move across to it are planned as one piece of work. You change how you look without losing the audience that already finds you.

We do not run rounds, and that is deliberate. Rounds reward indecision and punish good early work. We run a small number of senior conversations, work through them and ship. If we reach a third pass on one decision, the brief was wrong, so we reopen the brief, not the design. You get a resolved identity faster, not a longer queue of options.

Because every choice is argued from your strategy, not from preference. You will be able to repeat the reasoning behind the mark, the palette and the voice to your own board. If you cannot defend a decision without us in the room, we have not finished it. Taste is what other studios sell. We sell decisions you can stand behind.

We run the basic checks anyone can run (UK and EU databases, search, domains, social handles) and we will never put forward a name or mark we believe is already taken. Full legal IP protection is work for you and your solicitors, because we are creatives, not lawyers, and pretending otherwise would be the expensive kind of helpful. Our time is better spent making the brand unmistakably yours. You leave with work that has been sense checked, and a clear line on where the legal job begins.

Often, yes, and it works well when the gap is the system rather than the mark. We bring the discipline, documentation and consistency that turn a good logo into a brand a whole team can run. Your designer keeps the craft, you gain the structure that makes it scale.
