Our Process / Logo and Branding

Our Logo Design and Branding Process

From briefing to a finished brand book - a clear process that ensures a brand that works in the market and builds recognition.

01.

Business, audience, and competition research

We clarify the company's business model, offering, target audience, market context, and current perception. This step allows subsequent decisions to be based on real data, not assumptions.

02.

Brand positioning and strategic direction

We define the brand's role, differentiation, values, personality, and communication direction. The strategy becomes the foundation for subsequent visual and communication decisions.

03.

Concept and visual direction development

We prepare and present well-founded visual directions based on strategy, not just a series of unrelated logo options. Each direction has a specific rationale and logic for its application.

04.

Logo and visual identity system

We develop the logo system, typography, color solution, graphic principles, and other identity elements according to the project scope.

05.

Application scenarios and testing

We check how the identity works in the relevant digital, print, social media, presentation, or packaging contexts - to ensure the system is practically usable, not just visually appealing.

06.

Brand guidelines and handover

We prepare the approved files, usage rules, and materials necessary for the client's internal team, designers, and development partners for consistent brand use.

Project Scope

Logo, Visual Identity, or Full Brand Development?

Logo Design Only

Suitable if the company already has a clear positioning, message, and visual direction but needs a professionally prepared logo and its main versions.

Visual Identity Development

Suitable if the company needs not only a logo but also a related visual system - colors, typography, graphic principles, templates, and usage rules.

Brand Strategy and Identity

Suitable if the company still needs to define its positioning, differentiation, brand personality, communication direction, and a visual system based on it.

We determine the project boundaries after initial research. A standalone logo design is not automatically equivalent to a full branding project. To learn how the price of logo design is formed and what it depends on, read the article "How Much Does a Logo Cost in 2026?".

Rebranding

When Does a Company Need to Rebrand?

The existing identity no longer reflects the company's level.
The company has changed its positioning or audience.
The brand looks inconsistent across different channels.
The logo and materials perform poorly technically in the digital environment.
Multiple products or companies create a confusing brand structure.
The company is preparing for a new market, growth stage, or merger.

Read more about the decision in the article "Does Your Company Need a Rebrand?"

Research Before Design

What Is Researched Before Design Development?

Depending on the project scope, the research phase can include:

•Business goals and service model
•Target audiences and buying context
•Competitors and industry conventions
•Perception of the existing brand
•Communication channels
•Interviews with internal stakeholders
•Existing visual materials and practical constraints

The depth of research depends on the project's scale. A small logo project and a full brand transformation do not require the same amount of research.

Identity Components

What Does a Professionally Prepared Brand Identity Include?

Logo System

  • • Main logo
  • • Secondary or compact version
  • • Monochrome versions
  • • Icon or symbol
  • • Clear space and minimum size rules
  • • Examples of incorrect usage

Colors and Typography

  • • Primary and secondary color palette
  • • RGB, HEX, CMYK, or Pantone values where necessary
  • • Typography hierarchy
  • • Digital and print usage principles
  • • Contrast and accessibility considerations within scope

Design Elements

  • • Graphic shapes and composition principles
  • • Iconography
  • • Illustration or photography direction
  • • Social media templates

  • • Editable source files, if agreed upon in the project scope

The exact delivery package is defined in the commercial proposal before the project begins.

Guidelines

Brand Guidelines or Brand Book

Brand guidelines define how identity elements should be used in day-to-day practice. Their scope can range from a short logo usage document to a complete system with positioning, communication principles, visual rules, templates, and examples.

For companies with multiple products or lines of business, it's also worth clarifying the brand architecture for the company before developing detailed guidelines.

A brand book does not replace day-to-day management. Someone within the company must be responsible for brand consistency and applying the guidelines in practice.

Concept Approval

How Do We Choose and Approve a Brand Concept?

  • • Each concept is linked to the agreed-upon strategic direction.
  • • Each presented direction has a rationale, not just an aesthetic choice.
  • • Decisions are not made based on personal taste alone.
  • • In evaluation, we consider the audience, differentiation, practical usability, and business context.
  • • The number of concepts and revision rounds is agreed upon before work begins.
  • • Approval stages and responsible parties are defined at the start of the project.

We can check for publicly available visual similarities and prepare the identity for professional use, but a legal trademark search and registration is not an automatic part of the design service. If necessary, the client must involve an intellectual property specialist.

Implementation Across Channels

How Is Brand Identity Implemented Across Different Channels?

A brand identity becomes truly valuable only when it consistently works at everyday touchpoints: on the website and in digital products, in Google Ads and Meta ads, on social media, in presentations and sales materials, in print materials, on packaging, and in the physical environment, where applicable.

At the digital product and website level, the brand system is adapted into UI components and flows - in our UX/UI design service.

The technical implementation and performance of a website are handled in our web development service.

A consistent tone of voice and content standards across channels are supported by content marketing.

First 90 Days

What the First 90 Days of Brand Development Look Like

The 90-day structure is an indicative collaboration model, not a universal timeline guarantee. The project duration depends on the scope, speed of decision-making, and the number of stakeholders involved.

Days 1-30

Research and direction definition

Business context, audience, competitors, existing materials, stakeholder input, positioning, and creative brief.

Days 31-60

Concept and identity development

Creative direction, logo system, typography, colors, and evaluation in relevant application scenarios.

Days 61-90

System, guidelines, and handover

Finalization, templates and applications included in the scope, file preparation, guidelines, and handover.

Quality Assessment

How to Assess the Quality of a Brand Identity?

  • • Brand recognition and correct attribution to the company.
  • • Visual consistency across different channels.
  • • The team's ability to use the materials independently.
  • • A reduction in day-to-day ad hoc design decisions.
  • • Clarity in the brand architecture.
  • • Usability in the required formats and sizes.
  • • Feedback from the audience.
  • • Trends in branded searches and direct traffic, once sufficient data is available.

The results of a brand identity cannot be fairly assessed solely on the aesthetics of the logo or a guaranteed increase in sales. Commercial results are also influenced by the product, offering, market, communication, advertising, and customer experience.

AI and Originality

How to Use AI Without Losing Brand Originality?

AI tools can assist in the research, idea exploration, mockup, or production support stages. They do not replace strategic judgment, originality checks, consistent management of artistic direction, and human approval at key decision points.

AI-generated material is not automatically legally unique or safely registrable as a trademark. Read more in the article "Why AI Makes Brands Look Alike and How to Maintain a Recognizable Identity?"

"
A logo by itself rarely solves business problems. What companies are really looking for is a clearer identity, a more professional perception, and a consistent brand image. Branding helps define how a company looks, communicates, and is perceived in the market. A well-developed brand identity can help build greater trust, stronger differentiation, and more effective communication in the digital environment. This is precisely why we don't treat branding as a purely visual task. We see it as a strategic foundation for a company's long-term development.

Advice for teams creating brand guidelines in the age of AI - read why AI makes brands look alike and how to maintain a recognizable identity.

For companies with multiple products or lines of business, it's essential to define the brand architecture before developing an identity - which offerings share a common brand and which require independence.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The scope of logo design is determined before the project begins. It can include research, concept direction, the main logo, alternative versions, a symbol, a color solution, typography principles, and files in the agreed-upon formats. A full visual identity is a broader service than just developing a single logo.

A logo is one of the visual marks of a brand. A brand identity is a broader system that can include the logo, colors, typography, graphic elements, image style, templates, communication principles, and usage guidelines.

A rebrand may be necessary if the company has changed its positioning, audience, or service structure, the existing identity no longer reflects the company's level, or the brand is used inconsistently across different channels. Before a full rebrand, it's important to determine if the problem truly lies with the identity and not with the offering or communication.

The timeline depends on the scope of research, project complexity, the number of required materials, and the decision-making process. A single logo project can be shorter than the development of a full brand strategy, identity, and guidelines. A specific schedule is agreed upon after defining the project scope.

The price depends on whether only a logo is needed, a broader visual identity, or a full branding project with research, positioning, guidelines, and application materials. After an initial conversation, we prepare a proposal with a clearly defined scope of work.

The number of concepts and revision rounds is specified in the proposal before work begins. We present well-founded visual directions based on the agreed-upon strategy, not an unlimited number of unrelated options.

The file package depends on the project and the intended usage channels. It may include SVG, PDF, PNG, JPG, EPS, and the agreed-upon editable source files. Before handover, we check that the materials are prepared for the necessary digital and print scenarios.

Not every company needs an extensive brand book. For a small brand, concise logo and visual identity guidelines may be sufficient. A company with multiple teams, markets, products, or external partners usually requires a more detailed system.

During the design process, we can assess publicly visible visual similarities and avoid obvious industry clichés. However, a legal trademark search and registration is not an automatic part of the design service. An intellectual property specialist is required for this purpose.

AI can be used in the research, idea exploration, mockup, or production support stages if it is beneficial. Strategic decisions, artistic direction, final design, consistency checks, and approval remain human responsibilities. The use of AI in itself does not guarantee design originality or legal protectability.
