Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a brand identity cost?
Every business has different goals and requirements. The price will depend on the project scope and needs of your business. Typically, the investment is between $1,500 to $5,000. To find out what your project will cost, inquire here.
How long does the process take?
The timeline of your project will be largely influenced by your project scope and deliverables that are needed. On average, it can take 2 to 3 months to successfully complete your brand identity.
Can we work remotely?
Absolutely! We've been blessed to work with clients all over the world. Thanks to modern technology, we can effectively manage projects from virtually anywhere. We use PDF’s, emails, phone calls, videos, FaceTime, Zoom, and can accommodate to what’s convenient for you.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes, if revisions are needed, you’ll gather and submit your teams feedback all at one time in written format.
After confirming the updates with you, we will revise and submit the new version for review. That concludes one round of revisions.
We allow three rounds of revisions complementary (it usually takes less.)
Additional revisions can be billed separately.
What if I only need one design, not a whole identity?
While we typically work on logo suites and full brand identities, we understand you might only need an event poster or marketing collateral and we can generally accommodate. Inquire here to get your project started.
Are we a good fit?
If you are looking for something super fast, quick, and cheap, we are not the right fit for you. We help businesses who are determined to thrive in a competitive market who require strategic thinking and craftsmanship. Greatness doesn't happen overnight.
Do I have to pay a deposit to start?
When we decide to move forward, we create a custom proposal for you outlining your project details, objectives, timelines, and pricing.
We structure our projects into different phases. Before we begin each phase, we ask that you submit the payment for that phase to get started. If your project has 3 phases, there will be 3 payments- one payment before starting each phase.
