An identity system and identity guideline manual allow for the consistent use of the brand’s identity through all consumer touch-points—allowing a brand to be easily recognized and gain awareness in the marketplace. A brand identity creates an emotional connection, and reflects the brand positioning and desired image.

Logo Design

Logo Design is an art in and of itself. Good logo design consider the initial logo design brief to be the platform for completing a successful project. It is at the brief and in the initial conceptual stages that most of the thinking, research and ideas are generated and so naturally we place a high level of importance on this.
