Questions

Specific to branding.

Is a logo enough to start?
It can be, if the immediate need is narrow. If several people will create content or you are launching across many places, a wider identity system may be more useful.
Can you work with our existing logo?
Yes. We can assess what is working and scope an extension, refinement or wider refresh.
Do we receive editable files?
Yes. Once the project is paid in full, you own the editable source files and everything else we made for it. Any third-party fonts or images stay under their own licences, which we list in the proposal.

What would you like your business to do better?
