Identity

The look people will recognize — wordmark, type, and color pulled into a system we'd stand behind.

Sounds like what you need?

  • A real logo, not a placeholder
  • Colors and type that stay consistent everywhere
  • A look that's ours, not a template's
  • A voice as considered as the look
  • A full look and feel, beyond the logo

What the Brand Sprint looks like

The questions this sprint answers

  • If the brand were a person, how would they speak?
  • What does our mark look like, and does it work small, large, light and dark?
  • What should people feel when they see our visuals?
  • What do we need to launch, and where will people first see us?

Decisions we'll make together

  • How it sounds
  • The line you'll repeat everywhere
  • The look you'll stand behind
  • Your type and color

Week 1 · Get unstuck

  1. MonWorkshop — We confirm the scope, check the foundation, and agree what we're testing and how.
  2. TueExplore — Research, and two or three directions for voice, identity, imagery and marketing assets.
  3. WedExplore — The directions, taken far enough to compare honestly.
  4. ThuShape — The strongest direction, sharpened for the lock.
  5. FriDirection lock — We review the directions together and commit to one.

Week 2 · Get something real

  1. MonMake — The chosen direction, built out.
  2. TueMake — The core of it, made real.
  3. WedRefine — A review together, then the fixes it turns up.
  4. ThuTest — Checked against what we set out to learn, and finished.
  5. FriDelivery — A walkthrough, and everything lands in your Hub.

You leave with: A voice guide · Your tagline and key messages · A logo set · A color palette and type pairing · An image style guide · Reference scenes · Launch assets · Templates to keep shipping with

Every sprint follows this shape; yours is written around your project when you start.
