Common questions
The things worth clarifying before we begin.
01Is this only a visual identity project?+
No. The visual system comes after positioning, proposition and language. The goal is a brand that can guide business, experience, media and communication.
02Can the existing identity be kept?+
Yes. If there is equity worth preserving, the work can focus on sharpening the position and evolving the system rather than replacing everything.
03Can Website or Campaign work follow from it?+
Yes. Brand Development is designed to create a foundation that can carry directly into Website, Editorial Campaign and ongoing creative work.
