About this gig

Studio Karu is an independent Cape Town design studio creating distinctive brand identities for businesses that want to stand out, not blend in.


We've built brands for restaurants, streetwear labels, fitness studios, film companies, musicians and wellness brands across South Africa, the UK, Australia and Europe.


What you get:

- A custom logo designed from scratch, never templates or AI

- A considered identity: colour, typography and a system that works everywhere your brand shows up

- All files ready for print, web and social


How it works:

1. You share your brief, goals and audience

2. We research your market and competitors

3. We present original concepts with clear rationale

4. We refine your chosen direction and deliver final files


Why work with us:

- Real studio experience, not a logo mill

- Strong illustration for mascots, characters and emblems

- Clear communication and timelines from day one
