Brand Identity and Logo Design
A brand is how people recognize you before they read your name. As a branding agency, we create brands from scratch and carefully refresh ones that already have a history: from the idea and logo design to brand identity, a brand book, and how the brand looks on your website, in your app, on air and at your events.
What's included
-
Brand strategy and platform
Who you are, who you serve and what sets you apart. Everything else grows from this, from the name to the tone of voice.
-
Naming
A name that is easy to remember, easy to say and possible to register.
-
Logo design
A mark that works just as well on a business card as on a building facade or an app icon.
-
Visual identity
Colors, typefaces, graphic elements, patterns and photo style: the brand's visual language.
-
Brand book and guidelines
Rules that keep the brand looking the same in the hands of your team, contractors and partners.
-
Rebranding
A refresh that keeps what people already know and love about the brand.
-
Event and environmental identity
Forums, festivals, exhibition stands, sports venues and TV shows.
-
Brand in motion
Animated logo, intros and on-air graphics.

FAQ
What does a brand identity include?
A logo, colors, typefaces, graphic elements and the rules for using them, plus layouts for the key materials: documents, presentations, social media and the website. The exact scope depends on where the brand will live.
Can I order just a logo?
Yes. But a logo without a visual identity soon starts to look different from one medium to the next, so we usually suggest at least a basic set of rules.
What's the difference between a brand book and brand guidelines?
A brand book covers both what the brand means — mission, values, tone of voice — and how it looks. Guidelines are practical rules for using the logo and visual identity. We make whichever your team needs.
Do you rebrand companies with a long history?
Yes, it's one of our strengths. That's how we refreshed the CSKA brand: we kept what matters to the fans and gave the crest a contemporary look.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the scope: a logo and a full brand platform are very different jobs. Get in touch, and after a short call we'll give you a timeline and a price.
Do you work with companies in other cities and countries?
Yes. We're a distributed team and work remotely: meetings over video, files in shared folders.
