You want to keep your brand's style but need a refined, polished logo that better represents your brand.
Every project starts by defining your brand. This work includes an interview and exercises to find the heart of your brand, so we can translate it into designs.
A logo is a shorthand tag or identifier for your brand. I sketch and refine ideas until I have the best logo concept (or a few great choices). It will be applied to mock products to test how it would work in the “real world.” Your final set of files will have secondary logos in vertical or horizontal formats if needed, saved for print and web.
A 1-2 page logo usage guide with specs for the colors in your logo, used by print vendors and web developers to ensure your brand colors will match across different applications. Pantone, CMYK, RGB, and hexidecimal codes are provided.
You’re starting from scratch or evolving your company’s existing branding. You want to distill the essence of your company into a look and feel. You need a toolkit of visual elements, and guidelines for how to use them.

Specifications for the colors in your logo, plus a secondary palette that coordinates. Pantone, CMYK, RGB, and hexidecimal codes provided.
Recommendations for brand fonts, with examples of how to use them together.
A multi-page document that describes the elements of your brand. Your team can use it to create consistent materials going forward. It includes usage rules and specs for the logo, color palette, typography, graphic elements, messaging, and any other elements that make your brand unique.
Along with a logo, fonts, and colors, brands also need shapes and lines, a certain photography or illustration style, custom patterns, or other elements that flesh out a visual theme. These ingredients will be applied to mock layouts to show how they should be used.
Beyond the Identity Package, you might want branded marketing materials.
I can craft these materials for you, leveraging my deep understanding of your brand and extensive graphic design knowledge.
Optional Identity Package Add-Ons:
After we talk, I can put together a Custom Package proposal that includes the Identity Package and any extras you might need.
