Brand Identity
Looking to take your business branding to the next level? Welcome home. This is how we roll. We are branding junkies who take that brand ‘look and feel’ to a drool-worthy status. We understand the importance of having a distinctive brand identity and take the time to conceptualise a design that is bespoke and will make your audience love you long time.
How it works…
01 | Let’s get started
First, let’s chat. Our process is collaborative, sharing ideas from first-base. We want to get to know you and your brand outside of your inbox.
From there, we’ll send you a little quiz to fill out about you, your business and your brand vision. Sharing is caring, so we encourage you to share your mood board or Pinterest board with our graphic design nerds; this will help us nail your vision. We brainstorm then build a proposal with our ideal solutions for your brand. We’ll even provide you with flexible payment options. Once the boring paperwork is out of the way, join us together with our branding designer and account manager to begin the fun! If you’re out of state, we video via Skype or Facetime.
02 | Inspiration + Moodboard
Now it’s our turn to show you an epic moodboard to build the visual direction of your brand. This process will set the tone for your brand image and give us a solid idea of the creative direction your brand identity strategy will take.
Your moodboard will include suggested fonts using keywords or phrases that suit your business voice, brand colour palette suggestions, and examples of imagery and inspiration that will help you visualise your brand identity before we get down to designing your logo concepts.
P.S this neat inspo board of ours is yours to keep. So you can frame it and mark the beginning of your business journey.
03 | Logo
With the visual direction looking pretty kick ass, now we’ll get busy and design our butts off to present 3 logo design concepts for you to choose from.
You’ll get up to 3 rounds of revisions on the logo concept you love the most. Most clients don’t need all three, but we like to provide ample wiggle room just in case.
To help you visualise how your logo will look in the real world, we’ll create and present your logo on a few in-sitchu mockups.
Once we refine your logo to perfection, we’ll send you the logo files so you can unleash them into the world for all to see.
04 | Style Guide
The most important document to showcase brand consistency and seamlessly implement your brand identity to the masses. Put your best foot forward confidently with a style guide that outlines how to correctly showcase your brand tone and voice across every touch point of your business.
What is a style guide you ask? It’s your brand go-to handbook on how to visually represent your brand and identity. It includes how to best use your logo, colour palettes and fonts for both digital + print, image direction in-sitchu across a range of relevant platforms, and a few extras that are relevant to your industry and business direction.
Keep in mind that the complexity and size of your brand style guide will depend on the scale of design work we create for your business.
If you love your logo design, but it’s looking a bit dated. Our creative and graphic design team will fine-tune and jazz up your logo to give it a refresh, keeping it relevant and looking ace.
How we roll…
First, let’s chat. We want to get to know you and your brand outside of your inbox and discuss what’s working, what we can ditch, and how flexible we can be with the art direction. We will analyze the hell out of your current brand assets and logo to dissect the best path to trek down.
We are always open and honest with our feedback to give you tailored options that are unique to your brand vision. This is an exciting time, as you get ready to showcase your new look to all your die-hard fans.
01 | Moodboard + Logo Concepts
Based on our analysis of your current brand, our branding and graphic design gurus will create a moodboard that includes colour, design focused and lifestyle type images. This process will set the tone for the overall creative direction of your new logo and brand identity.
Your moodboard will include suggested font pairing with keywords or phrases that suit your business voice, colour palette guide, and example images that will reflect your brand persona. This is yours to keep, frame it, scrapbook it, the choice is yours.
Now our super excited graphic designers will get to work to design 3 logo refinement options for you. These options will utilise your existing brand elements to show you how we can refresh what you currently have. As this is a refresh only, the concept may only be small variations such as, changing the placement of assets within your logo, or updating kerning or thickening or thinning out the current font to enhance what you already have.
You’ll get up to 3 rounds of minor tweaks to the logo concept you love the most. Most clients don’t need all three, but we like to provide ample wiggle room just in case.
To help you visualise how your logo will look in the real world, we’ll create and present your logo on a few in-sitchu mockups.
Once we refine your logo to perfection, we’ll send you the logo files to get cracking on rolling out that new look.
03 | Style Guide
The Huntd’s brand and logo style guide is your bible to help show off your new look, and turn some heads. Use your bible to seamlessly adapt your awesome modern brand refresh across every touch point of your business.
Your style guide will include instructions and a set of rules on how to best use your logo, a collection of brand fonts for both digital and print applications, colour palettes with image style examples and any other assets such as brand icons that we suggest for the brand.
A noteworthy thought… The complexity and size of your brand style guide will significantly depend on the scale of design work we create for your business.

It is the DNA to your brand, a set of guidelines that blueprints your brand story in depth to ensure that anyone that joins your team can powerfully convey your brand identity and message to your audience.
