Corporate Design
Brand identity that holds up. Logo, colour system, typography, design language. Built with regard for everyday usability over years, not just for the launch photo shoot.
A corporate design decides how your brand reads before someone has talked to you. It also decides how quickly your team puts together a coherent slide deck on a Monday morning — and whether your next job posting looks “polished” or “improvised.”
We build brands that don’t just look good on launch day but hold up over years. That means: systems, not logos. Rules a junior designer can apply. Toolkits that work in code, in print, and in slides.
How we work
Corporate-design projects start with a concept phase. In 2–3 days, we sort brand position, tone of voice, and visual direction. The output is a design direction: mood boards, first typography choice, first colour direction, first logo sketches.
In the main project we sharpen the system. 3 logo directions, 1 picked, then finalised. Colour system (values with application rules, not just hex codes). Typography setting (typeface choice + hierarchical rules). Application examples (letterhead, website, social templates, slide deck). Brand book as a living document.
Where we’re different
- We build the system we design. A brand manual is only as good as its implementation. We ship brand + implementation as one piece.
- Design for tools people actually use. Slides, newsletters, contract letters, job listings — not just hero renderings.
- Print stays part of the language. A brand that only lives digitally is half a brand. We do print applications too.
What’s included
- Concept phase (brand position, direction, billed separately)
- Logo system (primary mark, signets, application variants)
- Colour system with application rules (web, print, screen)
- Typography setting (typeface choice, licensing advice, hierarchical system)
- Image language (style direction, photo briefing templates if relevant)
- Application templates (letterhead, email signature, slide deck setup)
- Brand book as a digital document (Notion, Figma, or web)
When this isn’t right
If you only need a logo (no system), specialised logo designers are often a better fit. If you want a new website and the brand already exists, head to Business Website.

FAQ
- How are you different from a pure design agency?
- We build what we design. A brand system that has to work in code, in print, and in slides — and that we'll implement ourselves.
- How many logo concepts?
- Usually 3 directions, narrowed to 1 for refinement. More options don't make decisions better.
- Do we get a brand book?
- Yes — as a living document, not an 80-page PDF. Typography, colour, image language, application examples, do's and don'ts.
