Branding is the practical system that helps people recognise you and trust you, across your website and every touchpoint. It includes your logo, colours, typography, layout style, imagery and how it is applied consistently. If you are comparing options for branding in Cardiff or across Wales, we can help.

A logo or logotype is one small part of a brand. Strong branding gives you a consistent and memorable look and feel across everything, so you do not have to redesign from scratch each time you create something new, and your audience will start to recognise and remember your organisation. See how that looks in practice in our work section.

Many organisations do not need to scrap everything they have. A refresh or brand evolution can modernise what you already have, fix inconsistencies, and create a clearer system that works better across digital and print. We can help you weigh up a refresh vs evolution vs a rebrand.

Typically: visual identity refinements or a new or evolved logo, a colour palette, typography, supporting graphic elements, image style guidance, and simple rules for consistent application. We can also create key assets like social templates, stationery, reports and marketing collateral. You can also see how branding sits with website design and development here.

Yes. We regularly work within established brand guidelines and translate them into real-world content across day-to-day printed and digital marketing. This is especially helpful for teams with governance requirements, including public sector and third sector organisations. View some of the sectors we work with here.

We design a brand as a practical system, not just something that looks nice. That means we define clear rules for typography, colour, accessibility, layout, imagery and tone so it can be applied consistently across your website, social media, brochures, reports, signage, presentations and even things like vehicles or exhibition graphics. If you want the brand to carry through website design and development, see here.

That is the goal. We build simple systems and brand toolkits with practical rules and templates, so your team can produce on-brand materials confidently. For ongoing, fractional and ad-hoc creative support options, click here.

Although brand is at the core of much of what we do, it’s applied it different ways across projects and applications large to small. Some clients want a clearly defined brand consultation. Others want bits of ongoing support to keep everything consistent as the organisation grows and new needs appear. You can see the broader graphic design services and specialisms we offer across Wales here.
