Brand Development FAQs
What is the difference between a logo and a brand?
A logo is a single mark. A brand is the entire experience your customer has with your company, including your visual style, your voice, your values, and how you make them feel.
How long does branding take?
A comprehensive brand development project typically takes 6-10 weeks. This includes research, strategy, visual design, and the creation of final guidelines and assets.
Do I own the final designs?
Yes. Upon final payment, you own 100% of the copyright and intellectual property for all final logos, assets, and guidelines we create for you.
What do I get at the end?
You receive a comprehensive "Brand Bible" or style guide, along with all logo files (vector and raster), font licenses, color codes, and templates for social media and stationery.
Can you just refresh our logo?
Yes, but we usually recommend a "brand audit" first to ensure the logo is the only issue. Often, a logo refresh works best when paired with updated colors and typography.
