About this gig

FAQ
Which package is right for me?
Basic suits new businesses needing a strong logo. Standard gives you a complete identity with logo suite, colours, type and stationery. Premium adds strategy, brand guidelines and a social kit. Message us before ordering and we'll recommend the best fit.
What do you need from me to get started?
After you order, you'll fill in a short brand questionnaire about your business, audience, competitors and any references you like. Premium includes a kick-off Zoom call. The clearer the brief, the stronger the result.
Will my logo be original?
Yes. Every logo is designed from scratch for your business. No templates, stock icons or AI-generated artwork. Once the project is complete and paid, you own full rights to the final design.
What files will I receive?
All packages include high-resolution PNG and JPG, transparent versions, and vector files (SVG, PDF) ready for print and web. Standard and Premium also include editable source files.
What if I don't like any of the concepts?
It's rare, because our research phase sets a clear direction first. If it happens, we'll talk through what's missing and adjust. Extra concept rounds can be added as a gig extra.
Can you work with my existing logo?
Yes. Many of our projects are refreshes, refining an existing mark so it's cleaner and more versatile while keeping the recognition you've built. Send us a message with your current logo before ordering.
