Strategy first
Brand workshop + positioning before we touch a pixel.
Pietermaritzburg · KwaZulu-Natal
Pietermaritzburg brand designers building identities that scale.
We don't do “here are 10 logo concepts”. We do strategy first: who you are, who you serve in Pietermaritzburg, what you stand for, what makes you different. Then we design one identity, refine it through three rounds, and ship a complete brand guidelines document you can hand to any designer or printer.

Frequently asked
Branding & Identity in Pietermaritzburg — answers.
Common questions about pricing, timelines, what's included, and how we work with Pietermaritzburg businesses.
What's included in a full brand identity?
Logo, colour palette, typography, pattern/iconography, photography style, voice guidelines, business card + letterhead templates, social templates — all documented in a 20-30 page brand guidelines PDF.
Do I own the logo and files?
Yes — 100%. You own all rights and all source files (AI, EPS, SVG, PNG).
How many concepts do I see?
Three distinct directions in round one. After you pick one, we refine through up to three further rounds.
Do you trademark the logo for me?
No — trademark registration in South Africa requires a registered attorney. We flag potential conflicts during design and refer you to our trademark partners.
Can you redesign my existing logo without losing recognition?
Yes — we offer brand refresh projects that modernise an existing identity while keeping enough equity that customers still recognise you.
