A brand identity is more than a logo — it's the complete visual system that makes everything you produce feel unmistakably yours. When it works, recognition builds. When it doesn't, every touchpoint looks like a different company.
The primary mark, plus horizontal and stacked versions, single-colour options, reversed versions and favicon — each considered and tested, not mechanically resized.
Primary and secondary colours specified for print (CMYK, Pantone) and digital (RGB, HEX), with guidance on combinations and usage.
Typefaces for headlines and body — with specifications for sizing, weights, and hierarchy across applications.
The supporting visual language — patterns, shapes, icons, photographic style — the texture that gives the brand identity beyond logo and colours.
Everything documented clearly enough that someone who has never worked with your brand can produce something that looks right.
Understand the business, the audience, the competition, and how you want to be perceived.
Two or three initial directions — explorations of possible approaches, focused on the logo and core visual language.
Develop the chosen direction fully — logo, colour, typography, supporting elements — through focused rounds of review.
Guidelines delivered with source files for all assets, plus starter applications as both deliverables and examples.
Nabina's is a creative mind. It informs her sharp writing, her ideas and designs, and her analytical skills, all of which make her both a hands-on talent and an adept leader. This thinking in the round is rare.
I think about verbal identity as well as visual identity — the brand communication strategy and the brand identity design developed in alignment, so the look and the voice feel like the same brand. Unusual, but it shows in the work.
Identity projects that need overflow capacity or senior thinking — I work to your brief, follow your client's creative direction, and deliver client-ready files. I can come in at the strategic stage or purely at execution, adapting to where you need the help.
A logo is one element — the mark. A brand identity is the system around it: colour, typography, graphic language, and the guidelines that make everything consistent. Without the system, the logo sits alone and the brand looks different everywhere.
Often yes — and it makes the design better. Visual identity should reflect how the brand sounds and what it stands for. If you don't yet have verbal brand guidelines, we can develop both in alignment, so the look and the voice feel like the same brand.
Yes. Sometimes the existing identity has equity worth keeping — the logic is to evolve it, not discard it. I can assess what's working, identify what isn't, and develop a refreshed system that builds on the foundation rather than ignoring it.
Tell me where you are — new brand, refresh, or somewhere between. I'll tell you what it actually needs.
