Let’s Talk

A brand that looks like the work you do.

Branding and creative services for local businesses. A mark, a color and type system, and every piece that carries it: trucks, cards, signs, social, video.

01 / 06 · The brief

Start with three words.

Not a mood board. What the business is, who it serves, and the three things customers should feel. Everything else follows from that.

Brand brief

02 / 06 · The grid

Every mark starts on a grid.

A 50 unit grid, every curve on a circle, every edge on a line. That is what separates a logo from a drawing.

Construction grid

03 / 06 · The symbol

The mark, piece by piece.

Flat shapes in a fixed order, so it stitches on a cap, etches on glass and reads from a passing truck.

The mark

04 / 06 · Type

A wordmark that holds its own.

Drawn as paths, not typed, so it never depends on a font being installed. The trade line sits where the eye lands next.

Type system

05 / 06 · Color

Colors with jobs.

Each color has one role and one code, so the sign shop, the embroiderer and the web designer all get the same thing.

Color system

06 / 06 · Lockups

Three lockups, clear space, files.

Full lockup, symbol alone and wordmark alone. Minimum sizes and clear space set, SVG, PNG and PDF delivered. Yours.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do we own the files?+

All of them, including the source files, with fonts licensed in your name. No subscription, no strings.

Can we just get a logo?+

Yes. The mark comes with its color and type rules either way, so whatever you add later still matches.

We already have a logo. Do we have to start over?+

Not always. If the mark works, we tighten it, build the system around it and fix how it gets used. If it fights you, we say so.

Do you handle printing and the wrap?+

We design to the printer’s and installer’s templates and check the proofs. Printing and installation are billed by them directly.

What does it cost?+

We quote to your scope, not from a price list. Price depends on how many pages or locations you need, how competitive your searches are, and whether you want a one-time build or ongoing work. Book a free 20-minute call and you get a written number afterwards, with no obligation. Websites can be paid in two halves or spread over 6, 12 or 24 months.
