Need a brand for an upcoming launch? Our team of creative brand designers can make it happen. We've helped create brands for companies such as Spotify and Google, delivering with the creativity, quality and speed that we are known for.
Whether it's for a new startup company, an internal initiative or a new product in an existing enterprise, we've helped hundreds of companies find their brand identity. We take your initial ideas, inspiration, likes and dislikes and get together our creative minds to ideate. Once the first batch of ideas are together, we iterate with you until it's refined down to a final brand.
Branding projects can be as big or as small as you need – from just a new logo, through to a full brand book, typography system, illustration style, templates and more.
We recently helped Google with one of their branding challenges - they built a popular piece of software, gVisor, with over 10.3k stars in GitHub. They wanted an identity for it that captured its forward-thinking architecture, but also had warm familiar retro tones. After exploring different ideas, their team settled on this one:
We've developed an approach to branding that combines creativity and agility. Using our unique design feedback platform and global network of creative talent, we move fast and bring ideas to you quickly. The process incorporates your feedback every step of the way, and our project managers make sure we achive your deliverables, on-time and on-budget.
Whether your timeline is months or just weeks, let us help you launch something great.

You can give feedback to your designer, and they will make changes to your design until it's perfect.
Our design launch team will find an available designer that has the perfect skill set and get them working on your projects.
After 2 business days you'll have your design work completed and delivered to you.
3. Give feedback and get edits made
Sometimes design is perfect first time, sometimes a few tweaks are needed. We've a full-featured design feedback platform where you can drop pins, draw boxes and arrows, and send the project back to your designer for edits.
We'll take your initial content, help you develop it if necessary and then design it.
You give us what you have so far–that could be a description of your vision, existing sketches or previous design files. We’ll then work directly with you and your team to design your project. Here's a quick example of before and after:

Our design process is simple and iterative. Most projects will go through the following phases:
1. Help you with your content (optional)
Great design starts with great content!
We can work with you from any starting point. If your content is final, we’ll go straight to design–but if you need assistance with content development, our team is ready to help.
Whether you need some light touch-ups or a deep rewrite, we'll devise a plan to make your content shine during your kick-off call.
2. Find your style
Our team will deliver a round of style samples. Samples allow you to see small previews of fully thought-out designs and help us determine together the best design direction for your project.
3. Iterate your way to success
Great design doesn’t just appear—it takes time to get it right. Your project quote won’t include a set number of iterations, but we find that it typically takes 1-2 sample iterations to nail down the overall style for a creative level project.
Once you're happy with the design direction, we'll apply it to your complete content and create your first full draft. You provide feedback on that, and after some edits your project is complete.
All files will be available for you to download at any time. Your designer will deliver:
Our design team will serve as an extension of your own throughout the process. We'll come alongside you and iterate based on feedback, from the first idea all the way through to the final design.
Throughout the project, all files will be available for you to download. By the end you will have:
A brand book showcasing your new brand and all its components
Logo
Typography system
Illustration style
Photography style
Detailed guidance on how to install and use your new brand
Templates for presentations, written documents, Office360, social media
Email templates
Website pages
We can scale up-or-down depending on your needs, many projects involve just a few of these deliverables.
Brand book
Logo files
Color palette
FAQ
Does my content need to be final before starting a project?
For your designer to get straight to work, they need final content. We find that projects run most smoothly (and to budget) when there are no content changes after design begins.
Will my work be kept confidential?
We work with companies of all sizes–from startups to Fortune 500 companies–and treat everyone with the same respect and consideration. Your project and information will always be kept confidential, unless express permission is given to share. All of our designers sign privacy agreements and the SketchDeck platform provides a secure login process, so only you and any colleagues you've invited have access to projects. If you still prefer to sign an NDA with us, though, we're more than happy to accommodate.
How are designers selected?
We spend a tremendous amount of time finding and recruiting great designers. We require they have strong communication and self-management, great design skills (such as Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma) and are a pleasure to work with.
Our project launch team reads each project brief, analyses the designer work calendar and finds someone who is ready to start and has all the skills needed for the project.
If you ever have any project problems, just write into the project chat or leave a review – the design operations team read every single one and take action to make sure that you have a great experience.

It's easy to start: fill out the form on the right (or bottom, mobile-using friends!) and tell us about your project. Our team will get in touch ASAP. In a rush? You can start your project here.
How much will my project cost?
Project pricing is based on a few factors, including: project size and type, how quickly you need it (speed), and the level of design you require. We've included the range of prices this type of project typically comes in at, but as soon as you tell us a bit more about your project we'll give you a quote. We can also work hourly, if you'd prefer.
Does my content need to be final before starting a project?
We can work with your final content and design it, or we can help you develop your content and then design it. We're happy to help, whatever your needs!
Is my project kept confidential?
We work with companies of all sizes–from startups to Fortune 500 companies–and treat everyone with the same respect and consideration.

We'll do everything neccessary to make you happy with our work – even if that means starting again, bringing in extra designers for new ideas or upgrading your service at no extra cost.
