    OUR PROCESS

    GOALS

    We’ll establish the specific goals of the visual identity that will represent your business’s voice and online presence. We want to ensure your site and media presence convey your business values and services to your particular target market in the best possible light, and design your visual identity to be both current and long-lasting.

    DESIGN

    Your business can’t follow a cookie-cutter mentality if you want to stand out from the crowd, so we’ll design your brand to look as unique as possible. We have a pool of exceptionally talented designers ready to work on your visual identity, and we’ll give you a number of design combinations to choose from.

    DRAFTS

    Our designers’ initial drafts will answer four basic needs:
    – Clarity: Make designs clear and impactful.
    – Impact: Cause viewers to remember you.
    – Personality: Reflect your voice well.
    – Consistency: Use the same colors, voice, style across the mediums.

    APPROVAL

    We’ll finalize every detail and confirm colors, edits and sizing. Your chosen color scheme will be part of your website, and once all the rounds of edits, revisions and final approvals are complete for your logo, your final online- and print-ready designs will be ready to add to your website and marketing materials/ads.

    The significance of branding and design

    A recognizable brand fosters trust.

    RECOGNITION
    Impress and be memorable

    Impactful branding represents a business’s products/services, personality, values and visual imagery. It can be powerful enough to validate a company’s professionalism and quality. When built into every advertising and marketing campaign, branding can bring consistency, imply value, and help establish a business as a leader in its chosen industry.

    TRUST
    Build your credibility

    A business that has built a solid reputation over time is not only known by its former clients, but is recognized by its unique brand image. People form emotional attachments to brands, and any business’s branding strategy should include the creation of a visual identity that fosters recognition of all the benefits that business has to offer.
