Your logo is the starting point. Your identity connects the rest.

Brand identity design brings the visual parts of a business together. The aim is a recognizable, flexible system that works across different sizes, materials, and channels.

Logo Design

The identifying mark and its useful variations. If that is your main need, explore our logo design service.

Brand Identity Design

The system around the mark: color, typography, imagery, supporting graphics, and usage rules that guide each application.

The Wider Brand

Your positioning, message, reputation, and customer experience also shape the brand. We define the visual identity scope around the business direction you need it to support.

The pieces that make a system.

Your identity scope is built around the work your team needs to do. We confirm the components, guidelines, applications, and final files before design begins. The proposal lists exactly what is included. Guidelines, templates, custom graphics, application design, and production support are scoped to the project.

  1. Logo Family

    Primary and supporting marks, alternate layouts, one-color and reversed versions, and social icons for the agreed uses.

  4. Supporting Visual Language

    Imagery direction and the patterns, icons, illustrations, or graphic elements that make sense for your brand and approved scope.

  5. Brand Guidelines

    Practical rules for logo versions, clear space, color, type, backgrounds, and common misuses, with application examples matched to the project.

  6. Rollout & Final Assets

    The agreed templates and launch materials, plus organized exports for the teams, platforms, printers, and vendors putting them to work.

Make the next design decision easier.

A useful brand guide helps someone choose the right asset and build the next piece with confidence. We plan the guidance around the people who will actually use it.

  • Choose the right version Show which mark works in a narrow header, a small profile image, or a large sign.
  • Keep the essentials consistent Define color roles, type hierarchy, spacing, and background rules.
  • Show the system in use Include the agreed examples so teammates and vendors can see how decisions carry into a real layout.
  • Organize the handoff Make approved assets and their intended uses clear, with exports matched to the production needs.

Define it. Build it. Put it to work.

The business goal and real applications guide the design. A clear scope keeps the reviews, deliverables, and launch priorities connected.

  1. Share the Business & the Need

    Bring your audience, goals, existing assets, decision makers, and the places your identity must appear. Share what is changing and what needs to be ready first.

  2. Set the Scope & Direction

    Agree on the identity components, guidelines, priority applications, review stages, and schedule. Identify content and vendor requirements early.

  3. Design & Refine the System

    Review the visual direction in the context of your planned uses. Consolidated feedback helps refine the marks, color, type, and supporting elements together.

  4. Prepare the Rollout

    Complete the approved assets and guidance for the launch. Separate what your team needs now from the applications that can follow in a later phase.

Plan for the places it needs to live.

List the first customer touchpoints before the work begins. That helps us choose useful applications, test the system, and prepare the right design files.

Packaging & Products

Labels, bottles, boxes, inserts, and merchandise. A rollout might start with the hero product and extend to the rest of the range as production specs are confirmed.

Websites & Digital

Website layouts, social graphics, presentations, and email assets. Carry shared color and type rules into formats that work on a screen.

Print & Physical Spaces

Business cards, menus, sales pieces, signage, and environmental graphics. Prepare artwork for the actual size, surface, and vendor requirements.

A clear scope before a quote.

An identity for a single launch has different needs from a system spanning products, a website, and a physical space. Tell us where the work must go so we can define the right project.

Before we get started.

Logo design focuses on the identifying mark and its variations. Brand identity design connects that mark with color, typography, imagery, supporting graphics, and usage rules across the agreed applications.

An existing logo may be a useful starting point. Share the original files, current materials, usage rights, and the problems you want to solve. We can assess whether the mark supports the wider system or needs refinement.

They are included when listed in the approved scope. We define the depth of the guide and the specific templates with you. Custom patterns, icon sets, illustrations, and application design are also scoped to the project.

Projects are quoted around the work required. Identity depth, guidelines, applications, templates, review needs, and production support affect the cost. Send your priority touchpoints and budget range so we can discuss a focused scope.

Yes. The identity can extend into packaging, web, print, and environmental design when those applications are part of the scope. We can separate launch essentials from later phases.

The agreement lists final formats, editable assets, usage rights, and licensing terms. It also explains how unused concepts, working files, fonts, and third-party assets are handled. Ask for the formats your team and vendors need before work begins.

No. Left Hand Design is based in Austin and works with clients nationwide. Share your location, decision team, and timing needs when you enquire so we can plan the collaboration.
