Brand Strategy & Identity Design

Make your brand unmistakably yours

Understand your audience, define what sets you apart and translate it into an identity system built for every place your brand appears.

What does Brand Strategy include?

Understand your audience, define what sets you apart and translate it into an identity system built for every place your brand appears. The work runs through research, positioning, architecture, messaging, identity and guidelines, and you receive brand research, competitive positioning and naming, with source files in the handover.

Based in Bengaluru, working with companies across India and abroad.

Sound familiar?

  • Customers can't explain what makes you different
  • The logo exists, but the brand doesn't hold together across touchpoints
  • You've grown, and the identity still looks like the first year
  • A new product or venture needs a name, a position and a look

An identity system, in parts

Our own identity, taken apart: the same anatomy we design for clients. One position, expressed through mark, colour, type and rules.

Handover

Boundary. Trademark clearance, domain ownership and legal naming clearance need independent verification. We can't guarantee a name is unique without a proper search and legal advice.

The gallery is being prepared

We show identity and product work only with the owner's permission. Approved projects will appear here and on our work page.

Is a brand just a logo?

No. The logo is one part of an identity system, and the identity expresses a position. We work on all three, in that order.

Do you do naming?

Yes, where it's scoped. Trademark and legal clearance must be checked independently.

What do we get at the end?

An identity system, guidelines and the launch assets agreed in scope, with source files.
