IDENTITY PROCESS
We’ve been doing this awhile, and we have a blue-print to make each project fun, rewarding and successful for our clients. From introductions to delivery, each stepped is defined.
-
First things first, we’ll jump on a phone call, or meet in person to talk big picture needs, and introduce ourselves.
-
At our next week you will be presented a project proposal that defines scope, timeline and costs. At this time we can make adjustments, and then proceed to signing the contract so the fun can begin.
-
We will then dive deeper into who you are, what your vision for success looks like, and get to know you, your brand and your product and/or services a little better. We would like to meet with all decision makers and stakeholders at this milestone.
-
If you project scope includes Brand Strategy, we’ll take a look at your existing brand, if it exists, get to know your worthy rivals, and begin to define what we want your brand values, voice and vibe to be moving forward.
-
Before the design work begins, we will present to you some visual mood and inspiration boards to confirm alignment on the visual direction of the project.
-
The title says it all. Time to work. Your identity will begin to come to life. All of the communications, research and alignment tools we have learned to this point will drive our creative direction, and it’s time to begin designing. Timing will be dependent on project scope.
-
Your identity, applied to real world executions. We want you to be able to envision your new identity on relevant collateral to you business. We will present you logo, color, and voice applied to these mock-ups.
-
The grand reveal to all the key stakeholders. You will be presented the final 3 unique identity directions. This is your time to see the possibilities and future of your visual brand come to life. An email recap will be sent to go over what was discussed, and a PDF copy of the presentation will be included.
-
Next steps will be to consider and talk through any feedback you might have for the direction you choose to go. The goal here is to hear your thoughts, and get to a final approved design. Two rounds of revisions are included. If there is a need for further revisions, there will be extra fees applied.
-
It’s time to deliver your new identity, logo asset files, and the brand guidelines document that defines color, typography and use-case scenarios. This is also a good time to kick off the first round of new projects to help launch your new identity, like print collateral, web assets, product swag, marketing materials etc.
