Startup branding
Startup branding that looks ready on launch day.
A credible identity, a launch website and the first assets you need for customers and investors. Fast, focused and built to grow with you.

The problem
You only launch once. It should not look temporary.
Early customers and investors judge a startup on very little: a logo, a homepage, a deck. If those look improvised, the product has to work twice as hard.
We give you a focused identity and the launch essentials, without the months of process a large agency would bill you for.

Process and approvals
You approve every stage.
Launch date first
We start from your launch or pitch date and plan the stages backward from it, then send a written quote.
Positioning and name check
What you do, for whom and why it matters, in a few clear lines, plus a check that your name works where you need it.
Identity, rough then polished
Logo, color, type and voice shown rough first, then finished once you pick a direction.
Launch kit
The website or landing page, pitch deck template and launch posts designed from the same identity.
Guide and handover
A short, practical brand guide and all final files, so the next hire can keep it consistent.
Clear terms
No surprises, in writing.
Revisions
Each stage includes the rounds of changes listed in your quote. Once you approve a stage, further changes to it are quoted as new work, so nothing gets added to your bill by surprise.
Ownership and handover
Once the project is paid in full, the final approved work is yours. Third-party items such as fonts, stock photos, themes, plugins and apps stay under their own licenses. You receive the logo files, editable source files and website access listed in your quote.

What should a startup brand identity include?
At launch: a logo and its versions, a color palette, type, a voice, a short brand guide, and the first assets you need, usually a website or landing page, a deck and social profiles.
Can you help us before we have a final name?
Yes. We can check your shortlist for clarity and fit. Creating names is possible if included in your quote, but legal and trademark checks are for your lawyer.
Can you work around our launch or fundraising date?
Tell us the date on our first call. We plan the stages backward from it and will be clear about what is realistic.
Do you design pitch decks?
Yes. We design a deck template in your new identity, and can design your full deck if it is included in your quote.
Can the brand grow with us after launch?
Yes. We build the identity as a system, so new pages, products and campaigns fit without a redesign, and we can keep designing with you.
