Brand Identity & Logo Design for Startups | Strategy-Led 3-Week Sprint
⭐ Expert-Vetted, Top 1% | 📈 300+ Brands | ✨ Adobe-Featured | 🚫 No AI Design Crap 📅 1 more spot available in November. I'm a brand strategist and brand identity designer for startups and founders who move fast. Founders come to me at two moments: → Branding: Something new is launching, and it has to earn attention from day one → Rebranding: The company outgrew its brand, and every pitch and page now undersells it Either way, the fix is the same: strategy first, then the complete visual identity built from it. In 3 weeks, not 3 months. ______________________ RESULTS ▪️ riina: raised $1.5M after the brand and pitch deck ▪️ Dendo: 2x revenue in 6 months after the rebrand and website redesign ▪️ Pink Notebook: social presence and engagement climbed after the rebrand "...does work right on par with larger agencies typically hired by the Fortune 500, at a fraction of the cost." Ryan Ridgway, Cirrus Capital Partners ______________________ THE SPRINT: 3 WEEKS, 3 PHASES 🟡 WEEK 1 · STRATEGY: positioning, audience, differentiation, your brand enemy, voice direction, grounded in market and competitor research. One document with the same clarity about your brand that you have about your business. 🟡 WEEK 2 · IDENTITY: logo design, full logo suite, typography, color palette, art direction, packaging and label design where needed. The strategy does the heavy lifting: 97% of identity presentations are approved as-is. 🟡 WEEK 3 · SYSTEM: brand guidelines and a brand book your marketing team can actually use, with every asset prepared for handoff. Launch-ready. ______________________ SERVICES Brand Strategy · Brand Positioning · Brand Identity Design · Visual Identity · Logo Design · Logotype & Logomark · Brand Guidelines · Brand Book Design · Rebranding · Brand Messaging · Brand Naming · Packaging Design · Label Design · Art Direction · Pitch Deck Design · Web Design · Website Development · Social Media Design · Creative Direction ______________________ WHO THIS IS FOR Branding and rebranding for founders launching, fundraising, or sharpening what already exists.
