Brand & Identity

Your brand is the first impression you make. Let's make it count.

Before a client reads a word or visits your website, they've already formed an opinion. We design brand identities that are distinctive, considered, and built to hold up — whether you're starting from scratch or refining what you already have.

Brand packages from $500 — delivered in a complete brand kit, ready to use everywhere.

The problem with generic branding

A forgettable brand is costing you more than you think.

Most service businesses underestimate how much their visual identity is doing — or failing to do — before a single conversation takes place. A logo that looks like it came from a free generator, inconsistent colours across your website and social media, fonts that don't quite fit — these things don't just look unprofessional. They signal to potential clients that the business behind them might not be worth taking seriously.

The frustrating part is that the business itself is often excellent. The work is solid, the clients are happy, the reputation is there. But the brand doesn't reflect any of that — and for anyone who encounters you online before they meet you in person, the brand is all they have to go on.

First impressions are made in seconds. A strong brand makes sure yours is the right one.

You look like everyone else

A generic logo and mismatched visuals don't just blend in, they actively make it harder for clients to remember you, trust you, or refer you.

Your brand isn't consistent

Different colours on your website, your social media, and your business card. Small inconsistencies add up to a brand that feels unpolished.

You've outgrown your original look

If your brand no longer reflects the quality or ambition of your business, it's holding you back.

The ateliex approach

We design brands that fit. Not brands that could belong to anyone.

Brand design at Ateliex starts the same way everything does here — with questions. What makes your business different? Who are your best clients and what do they care about? What do you want people to feel the moment they encounter your brand?

The answers shape everything. The logo, the colour palette, the typography, the way it all sits together. Nothing is chosen because it looked good on someone else's project. Everything is chosen because it's right for yours.

We work across three tiers — from a focused logo package to a complete brand identity with full guidelines — so you can invest at the level that makes sense for where your business is right now. And if you already have a brand but it needs to evolve, our Studio tier covers brand refreshes too.
Every deliverable is handed over in a complete brand kit with all the files you need to use your brand confidently across every platform — from your website to your social media to your printed materials.

What you get

A brand built to be used — not just admired.

Logo suite

Primary logo, secondary logo, and icon/favicon — the full set you need to show up consistently across every format and platform.

Colour palette

A considered set of brand colours with hex, RGB, and CMYK codes — so your brand looks the same everywhere, every time.

Typography selection

The right fonts chosen for your brand, with guidance on how to use them — headings, body copy, and everything in between.

Brand guidelines document (Studio and Partner tiers)

A PDF document covering how to use every element of your brand correctly — colours, typography, logo usage rules, spacing, and do's and don'ts.

Web and print-ready files

Every asset delivered in the formats you need — PNG, SVG, PDF — so your brand works whether it's on a screen or a printed flyer.

Complete brand kit handover

Everything packaged and organised so you can hand it to a web designer, a printer, or a social media manager without having to hunt for files or explain what goes where.

How your brand gets built

Considered from the first question to the final file.

Brand discovery

We ask the questions most designers skip.
Before anything gets designed, we learn about your business. Who you serve, what makes you different, who your competitors are, and what you want your brand to feel like. This isn't a formality — it's the foundation everything else is built on.

Direction & concept

You see where we're headed before we go there.
Based on the discovery, we develop an initial creative direction — mood, colour territory, typographic feel — and share it with you before committing to any design. You'll know where we're headed before we get there.

Design & refinement

We work through it together until it's right.
We design your brand identity and present it for feedback. Revisions are built into every tier — we work through them together until the result feels exactly right. Not close enough. Right.

final delivery

Everything packaged, labelled, and ready to use.
Once everything is approved, we package your complete brand kit — all files, in all formats, clearly labelled and ready to use. For Studio and Partner clients, this includes your PDF brand guidelines document.

A strong brand is just the beginning.

Here's what our brand identity clients typically build next.

Website Design & Build

A brand identity and a website built together are always stronger than either one alone. If a new site is on the horizon, we can sequence the two projects so your website launches looking exactly as it should.

Social Media Management

Once your brand is defined, your social media presence should reflect it. We manage your Instagram and Facebook — creative direction, captions, scheduling — all built around the brand we just crafted.
