Clutch

Brand identity agency in Birmingham

A brand identity built on what you stand for, not just a logo.

It starts from your strategy, so how you look follows what you’ve agreed you stand for. A Look and Feel workshop then turns that into a visual direction before anyone designs anything.

Three fixed-price packages. Each includes a strategy workshop, a Look and Feel workshop, your brand story, strapline options and a full concept: logo, assets and how it looks on a homepage, not on a white slide.

Your brand makes you look smaller than you are

There’s no thought or depth behind it, so it doesn’t win the clients you’re going after.

And when you try to fix it, three people in the room have three opinions and no way to settle it. The concept that survives is the one nobody objected to, which is rarely the one that would have done the most for you.

The impact

What that costs you.

Before

Without an agreed position, the work gets judged on what people like.

  • Sign-off drags for weeks. Every round is somebody’s preference against somebody else’s, and the only way out is another round. The launch date moves and the work gets safer each time.
  • You end up with a logo and nothing else. One file, no rules, no assets. Everyone notices the first time somebody makes a deck and there’s nothing telling them what to use.
  • It stops matching within a year. New hire, new freelancer, new agency, and each one guesses. By the time it’s visibly drifted, redoing it looks like the only option.

After

Design judged against a decision, not a mood board.

  • We do the thinking before we design anything. The Look and Feel workshop comes out of your strategy, so the design gets judged against a decision instead of opinion.
  • You get assets, not just a logo. Which is the part almost everyone is missing and the part that does the work day to day.
  • It’s built for non-designers to use. Your team will be the ones using this most days, so it’s made for them, and we train them on it.

It doesn’t have to be a full rebrand. Two of the three packages keep the logo you’ve got and build around it, and we’ll tell you if you don’t need any of them. Merging, renaming or changing direction? That’s a rebrand, and it starts with the thinking.

The packages

What every package includes

The thinking happens before you see a single logo.

The Look and Feel workshop works through the visual direction, the narrative and what you need to say to the people you’re selling to. It comes straight out of the strategy work, so nothing is guesswork. From there we write strapline options and design a full concept: logo, assets and a homepage snippet, so you can see exactly how it lives in the real world.

Every package includes

  • Strategy workshop: one day to agree your audiences, value pillars and messaging
  • Look and Feel questionnaire and workshop preparation
  • Look and Feel workshop and presentation
  • Look and Feel summary document
  • Narrative and strapline development
  • Full concept presentation of logo, assets and homepage snippet

Why our identities stick

  • We do the thinking before we design anything. The Look and Feel workshop comes out of your strategy, so the design gets judged against a decision instead of opinion.
  • You see it in the real world, not on a white slide. Every package includes a homepage snippet, so you’re looking at how it actually lives.
  • You get assets, not just a logo. Which is the part almost everyone is missing and the part that does the work day to day.
  • It’s built for non-designers to use. Your team will be the ones using this most days, so it’s made for them, and we train them on it.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

What’s included in a brand identity?

The logo and its variations, colours, typefaces, and depending on the package, fonts for web and headlines, a brand playbook or full guidelines. Every package starts with a strategy workshop and then a Look and Feel workshop, so the design gets judged against an agreed direction rather than personal taste. You see it as a homepage snippet too, not on a white slide.

What’s the difference between a logo and a brand identity?

A logo is one asset. An identity is the system it lives in: colours, type, the rules for using them, and the assets your team builds with. If you’ve only ever been given a logo, you’ll notice the first time somebody makes a deck, because there’s nothing telling them what to use. That’s usually why things stop matching within a year.

How much does a brand identity cost?

Three packages. Refresh at £5,555 + VAT tidies the logo and refines the colours. Reframe at £6,030 adds fonts and a mini playbook. Reimagine at £9,300 is a new logo from scratch with full guidelines. All three include a strategy workshop, the Look and Feel workshop and a full concept presentation. The brand asset pack is £2,800 and can be added to any of them.

Do we need the strategy before the design?

If more than one person has to approve it, yes. Design without an agreed position gets judged on taste, and taste has no way of settling an argument. The Look and Feel workshop covers the visual direction, but it works from a positioning that already exists. If yours doesn’t, the strategy day costs less than the revision rounds that come from skipping it.

Can you work with the logo we already have?

Usually, and it’s often the right answer. Refresh and Reframe both keep your existing logo and build around it. If you’ve genuinely outgrown it, we’ll say so, but that’s a rebrand and it’s a different conversation.

Who owns the files afterwards?

You do, in every format you’ll use, on your own drive. Not held on our accounts and not licensed back to you. The most common thing we get asked to fix is a business that can’t find its own brand files, so we hand everything over organised and we train your team on where it lives.
