The position
Your logo is not your brand
A logo sets a tone. That is all it does. What people actually recognise is the sum of colour, type, language, imagery and the feeling left behind after the first click. Without that system, every team produces something slightly different and the brand falls apart into pieces.
That is where we start. We do not build pretty surfaces, we build an operating system for your brand: documented, immediately usable, from business card to checkout.
Recognition is not taste. It is consistency, repeated a thousand times.
Strategy and execution sit in one team here. No translation loss between consulting and design, no handover where the idea gets diluted. What gets decided in positioning is live on the web six weeks later.

What we deliver
01
Brand strategy & positioning
First we settle what you stand for and who you are up against. Market analysis, audience definition, core messages, tone. After that every person on your team knows what gets said and what does not.

Visibility: SEO, GEO & performance
A brand nobody finds is an expensive hobby. We optimise technically and editorially, for classic search and for answers inside AI systems. With reporting you can read without a translator.

Brand guidelines & ongoing care
A rulebook your team will actually open: logo usage, spacing, colour values, type scale, language rules, worked examples of right and wrong. Plus ongoing support, hosting and maintenance.

Four phases
From brief to brand book
Fixed phases, fixed dates, fixed deliverables. At every point you know what we are working on and what we need from you next.
Phase 1 / 4 · Week 1
Discovery
We understand the offer, the goals and the audience in depth before anyone opens a design file.
- Brand workshop and stakeholder interviews
- Competitor and market analysis
- Audit of your existing assets
Phase 2 / 4 · Week 2
Strategy
We define the space you occupy in your audience’s mind, and the words you occupy it with.
- Mission, vision, core messages
- Tone of voice and brand personality
- Visual direction through moodboards
Phase 3 / 4 · Week 3-4
Concept
Strategy becomes visible. Real drafts in real applications, not fantasy mockups.
- Logo concepts to choose from
- Colour palette, typography, assets
- Mockups in real-world situations
Phase 4 / 4 · Week 5-6
Refinement
We sharpen the detail and hand over a rulebook your team can work with from day one.
- Structured feedback rounds
- Complete brand guidelines
- All files handed over for print and web
Selected projects
Work that performs
Four brands, four starting points, one principle: settle the position first, then design.
Why it matters
What strong brands actually return
Branding is not cosmetics. It is the cheapest lever you have on sales cost, pricing power and repeat purchase.
01
Recognition
People buy what feels familiar. Consistency shortens the road from first contact to decision.
02
Pricing power
A clear brand argues less about price. The discount becomes the exception, not the rule.
03
Loyalty
Customers who bond over values do not leave for a competitor two percent cheaper.
04
Credibility
A disciplined presence signals care, especially where the buyer cannot yet judge the work itself.
05
Faster launches
With the system in place, a new product ships in days instead of weeks.
06
Less internal friction
Guidelines end taste debates. Your team decides by rules instead of by gut.
Client feedback
In three weeks they turned fragments into a brand that stands out across the entire sector.
Traffic is up seventy percent. More importantly, the enquiries finally match what we sell.
Our ideas were taken seriously, not just nodded through. The result beats what we had in our heads.
Attention to detail, professionalism and a willingness to go the extra mile. I cannot fault it.
Common questions
Before you ask
Yes. Without a defined brand system, every design piece gets a slightly new interpretation and the presence turns inconsistent. Colour, type, imagery and tone should be settled before the first page is designed. Otherwise you pay twice.
Budget one week for discovery, one to two weeks for first concepts and roughly two weeks for identity and guidelines. Four to six weeks in total, depending on complexity and how fast your feedback comes back.
A logo is one component, not a brand. A working website also needs a defined colour palette, a type system for headings and body copy, and assets such as icons, illustrations and a consistent image logic. Your existing logo can absolutely stay as the starting point.
A compact brand identity starts in the mid four figures. Identity plus website typically lands between 15,000 and 45,000, depending on scope, languages and functionality. After a first call you get a fixed-price proposal with a clearly defined scope.
The rulebook for your brand: logo usage and clear space, colour values for print and screen, typography, imagery, icons and language rules. They keep the brand looking the same no matter who is designing. With several teams or agencies involved they are not optional.
Regularly. We deliver strategy and design and your developers build it, or we handle the full build including hosting and support. Both work, as long as responsibilities are written down before the start.
