Branding and brand identity in Colchester
Brands people remember, and choose.
From the logo to the graphic design on your print, packaging and signage, we create brands that look premium and stay consistent wherever customers find you.
For businesses that have outgrown their look.
Maybe you’re launching and want to look established from day one. Maybe you’ve grown, but your logo and marketing still look like the business you were five years ago. Or maybe you tried a quick, cheap logo and ended up with something nobody remembers.
We work with startups, established firms and charities across Colchester, Essex and beyond, from legal and financial practices to aviation, property and heritage organisations. If you want to look as good as you actually are, and win more of the right customers because of it, we’ll be a great fit.

FAQs
How much does branding cost?
It depends on what you need, so every project is quoted individually. As a guide, refreshing a logo you already have starts from £600. A new brand identity, or a full rebrand with guidelines, stationery and signage, is a larger investment, and we start with a strategy session so we can quote exactly. Either way, you’ll know the full cost before we start, with no hidden fees.
How long does a new brand take?
From two weeks for a logo or a smaller branding project. A full rebrand with guidelines, stationery and signage takes longer, and we’ll agree a clear timeline with you before we start. You’ll see work in progress along the way rather than waiting for one big reveal.
Do I own my logo and brand files?
Yes. Once the project is paid for, the brand is yours, and you get final files in every format you need for print, web and social media.
Can you refresh our existing brand rather than start again?
Yes. If your brand has recognition worth keeping, we can modernise it: tidy up the logo, sharpen the colours and fonts, and create guidelines so it’s used consistently. We’ll tell you honestly whether a refresh or a full rebrand is the better investment.
Do you design brochures, signage and packaging too?
Yes. Graphic design for print is a big part of what we do, from brochures and stationery to packaging, signage and vehicle livery, and we can manage the printing and production for you, so you have one point of contact from design to delivery.
Do you offer unlimited amends?
No, and that’s deliberate. Unlimited amends suggests we’ll keep going until we stumble on the right answer. Every design decision we make is based on your brief and our research, so we’re confident we can get you the brand you want, and deserve, within four rounds of amends.
Why do you only present three or four concepts?
Because more choice doesn’t lead to a better decision. Research into choice overload shows that when people are given too many options, they find it harder to choose and feel less happy with what they pick. So rather than a pile of ideas, we present three or four strong concepts, each built on sound design principles and each answering everything you want your new logo and brand to achieve.
Will I deal directly with the designer?
Yes. All our clients have direct access to our designers and developers, so there are no confusing messages passed between account managers. From the first brief to the finished design, your message stays clear and consistent, and so do the designs.
