Brand Identity
in Manchester.

Yes, a meaningful share of our UK book is Manchester-based. We default to Astro and Next.js builds for the fast-moving MediaCity, Ancoats and NOMA clusters because Core Web Vitals matter more for cost-per-click economics there than brand polish does.

Typical kickoff is week 2 after signed proposal. We hold one fast-start slot per month (usually reserved for Manchester and London clients with time-critical launches), flag the deadline on the discovery call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Often, yes, we frequently deliver as the build partner for Manchester-based brand studios that win the strategy work and need a reliable implementation team. White-label arrangements available on the Partner Programme's International track.

A standalone wordmark from a credible UK studio runs £1,500–£3,500 for a proper concept-led process (research, two directions, two revision rounds, print and screen files). A full brand identity · logo plus colour, type, voice, templates and guidelines · runs £3,000–£8,000. Anything under £500 is usually a Fiverr template with the colours swapped. Our Wordmark package is £1,800, Identity £3,200, Full Brand from £5,500. Fixed scope, fixed price, written into the proposal.

A freelance designer ships a logo. A branding agency ships a system that holds up in 50 places · website, signage, packaging, invoices, social, uniforms · with documentation your team can apply without going back to the original designer. We sit somewhere in the middle: senior designer + strategist team, agency-quality system, freelancer-style pricing. For most UK small businesses that's the right shape · enough rigour to read credible, not so much overhead that a five-figure quote becomes six figures.

Yes · roughly half our brand work is bundled with a Marketing site (£6,500). We run them sequentially with one discovery workshop and one project manager so the brand and the site land as one piece on launch day rather than two slightly mismatched halves. Identity (£3,200) + Marketing (£6,500) is the standard rebrand-plus-rebuild package.

Usually not. Most of our clients keep their name and get a new visual identity. Naming is only needed when the current one is genuinely blocking growth.

A logo is a single mark. An identity is a full system, marks, colours, type, voice, photography, templates. Small businesses usually need the system, not just the logo.

We don't file trademarks directly, but we design with searchability in mind and can refer you to an IP lawyer we trust.

Yes. A competitive audit kicks off every identity project. The point isn't to copy what's working; it's to find the visual whitespace nobody else has claimed yet, so you look distinct, not derivative.

Two directions for Wordmark, two for Identity, three for Full Brand. This is deliberate. More directions = more noise. We research before we design and present directions we believe in, not a wall of options for you to pick from.

All final logos come as SVG (vector, infinitely scalable), PNG (transparent background, multiple sizes), and PDF. Always delivered in full colour, reversed (white on dark), and monochrome (black only). You own all files and source documents.

Yes. If you have a partial brand (e.g. colours but no logo, or a logo but no type system), we can design to match and extend what's there.

Revision rounds are included in every package. If after all revision rounds the direction is fundamentally wrong, we reassess on a call and run a third direction. We have never left a client without a mark they were happy with.

Yes · MVP Brand (£850 / $1,080 / LKR 73,000) ships a logo, palette and font recommendation in 5–7 days. It skips the brand guidelines and collateral, so it's best for founders who need a mark to launch with, not a full system yet.

Yes · additional collateral pieces (£350+), packaging per product SKU (£650), extra revision rounds (£250), pitch-deck templates (£550). All billed separately and quoted on the proposal.
