Brand & Graphic

Identity systems that survive marketing teams.

Most brand guideline PDFs die the day the in-house marketer changes. We design identity systems that survive contact with marketing teams — documented at the component level, with the runbook to keep it consistent over years.

Deliverables

What you actually get.

Brand engagements are always tied to the surfaces the brand actually appears on. We refuse pure-PDF deliverables.

  • 01

    Brand strategy

    Positioning, audience map and voice — drafted as a working document, not a 60-slide presentation.

  • 02

    Logo system

    Primary mark, secondary marks, lockups and the spacing / clear-zone rules. Tested on real surfaces, not just on white.

  • 03

    Type system

    Primary, secondary and monospace typefaces with documented usage. Licences sourced and assigned to you.

  • 04

    Colour system

    Light, dark and accent palettes with accessibility-tested combinations and documented tokens.

  • 05

    Motion system

    A documented set of motion primitives — micro-interactions, transitions, easing curves. Survives across the web, app and video.

  • 06

    Brand guidelines + asset library

    A living guideline doc plus a Figma library with every component your team needs to ship on-brand work.

Why this works

Three structural reasons.

Three structural reasons brand systems drift — and what we do differently on each.

01

Component-level, not page-level.

Our deliverable is a component library — not screenshots. Components don't drift the way page mockups do.

02

Documented for editing.

A 20-page guideline beats a 200-page one if the marketer actually reads it. We optimise for adoption, not impressiveness.

03

Tested on surfaces.

Every identity element is tested on real marketing surfaces — paid creative, email, social, packaging — before sign-off.

FAQ

Common questions about Brand Identity.

8–12 weeks for a focused rebrand on an existing business. 12–16 weeks if it includes a website rebuild. The audit tells us which scope.

Yes — naming engagements run separately from identity work. We have a process; we also have a strong opinion that most businesses should not rename.

No — but we partner with trademark counsel on every naming or rebrand engagement so it happens in parallel.

Yes — Sprint-band brand refresh engagements typically run 4 weeks. The audit will tell you whether refresh or rebuild is the right move.
