+ What's included in the Brand suite?
We tailor each project to your needs, but a typical suite includes at least four logo types described below:
- Wordmark
The wordmark logo is a text-only version of your brand name that anchors all the other variations.
- Icon and/or Monogram
The initials of your brand or a specially created icon is created for use in smaller spaces, where your brand name simply won't fit; like your favicon or social media accounts.
- Primary Logo
Pairing these first two concepts together in a lockup all it's own, we create your primary logo, often the first mark your audience sees and the most comprehensive in your visual identity.
- Alternate Layouts
If your primary logo is centered, your alternate lockup may be left or right aligned giving you more flexibility overall.
- Secondary Logos
Depending on the brand, we may also create additional brand marks like a badge or lockups that include brand taglines, established date, or a founder name as a secondary logo to be used when the primary has already been seen.
- Custom Patterns
Depending on your brand, we'll also create custom patterns for use as backgrounds to give your brand more personality.
Plus, with all the strategy we're doing for your site, translating these into your social media profile icons and custom banners is a snap.
If you’re looking for more branding collateral, like letterhead, packaging or signage these can be project +add-ons purchased for an additional fee. Just ask!
+ How are the suite and starter brand different?
With the Starter Brand, you only 3 logos, 1 business card set, custom color palette, font system, and the brand guide. As you grow, you'll want to include additional brand assets to complete your brand identity.
If you want the additional logo types as separate files in your color palette, custom patterns, social media graphics, and brand messaging, upgrade to our Branding Suite and/or the Everthing Branded package.
+ Do I really need multiple logo types?
Great question! When we talk about multiple logo types, we don’t mean competing logos that confuse your brand identity. Instead, they’re variations of the same brand designed to work in different places.
For example, a full logo may work best on a website header or brochure, while a simplified icon or monogram works better in smaller spaces like social media profiles, favicons, or mobile screens.
Well-known brands do this all the time. Coca-Cola, for example, uses its wordmark, the contour bottle, and other visual elements together as part of one recognizable identity. Each element plays a different role, but they all tell the same brand story.
A flexible logo system ensures your brand stays clear, recognizable, and consistent, no matter where it appears.
+ What if I already have a logo?
Great! We love taking existing logos and expanding them into a full branding suite to give you more than just one logo for use across different mediums and communications.
