Design service

Logo design and brand book — the recognisable face of your brand

We design a custom logo for your business and complete it with a brand book: colours, fonts, usage rules and every file format. As a result, your brand looks the same everywhere — on your website, Instagram, business cards and ads.

What are a logo and a brand book, and why do you need both?

A logo is the mark of a brand: the first thing customers remember you by and use to tell you apart. A good logo is simple, readable at small sizes, equally recognisable in colour and black-and-white, and reflects the character of your industry.

A brand book is the set of rules for using the logo and the whole visual style: logo variants, the clear space around it, minimum size, colour codes, fonts and examples of incorrect use. Without a brand book, every designer uses the logo however they see fit — colours change, the logo gets stretched, every post has a different font, and the brand becomes unrecognisable.

Today a logo must be designed for screens as well as print. For example, Google shows a small icon (favicon) next to the site name in search results. Google requires it to be square, and a size larger than 48×48 pixels is recommended. That’s why we also prepare a square, small-size version of the logo — for social media profile pictures and the site icon.

Once the logo is ready, it needs to be put to work: the website, social media style and ad creatives. We can create these with the same brand rules too.

Website development

Who are a logo and brand book right for?

01

New businesses

You have a name, but no logo or visual style. We define your brand’s face before you start with a website, Instagram and ads.

02

Businesses with an outdated logo

The logo was made in a hurry years ago, isn’t readable at small sizes or doesn’t suit your industry. We refresh it without losing recognition.

03

Businesses with a logo but no rules

You have a logo, but it looks different everywhere. We create a brand book for the existing logo so every designer follows the same rules.

Who it’s not for

If you need the cheapest logo in a day or are looking for a logo from a template, we’re not the right fit. We design every logo from scratch for your business.

Frequently asked questions

How much does logo design cost?

It depends on the package: logo only, logo with brand book, or a brand book for an existing logo. The number of concepts and the size of the brand book also affect the price. We send the exact amount in writing after the brief.

How long does a logo take?

It depends on the package and the number of revisions. Most of the time goes into choosing a concept, so the more precisely you tell us in the brief what you want and don’t want, the faster the work goes.

What is a brand book and is it required?

A brand book is the set of rules for using the logo and visual style: colours, fonts, clear space, minimum size, examples of incorrect use. It isn’t required for a small business, but if several designers will work on your website, social media and ads, it’s very useful for keeping the brand consistent everywhere.

Which files will I get?

Vector formats (SVG, PDF) for print and screens at any size without losing quality; PNG with a transparent background for the website and social media; source files and the brand book PDF.

Who owns the rights to the logo?

After handover, all usage rights to the logo pass to you. Official registration as a trademark is a separate procedure and isn’t included in this service.

Can my existing logo be refreshed?

Yes. First we analyse what is recognisable about your current logo and what doesn’t work. Often the right move isn’t to change it from scratch but to simplify it while keeping it recognisable.
