How do you budget the listening phase and the design phase?

First you pay for the time to see the venue, the menu and the door, and then for the mark. A finished mark is not budgeted if it is not yet said which name stays.

Write to us. A quote with no commitment.

Separate what is looking at the bar from what is delivering files, on two lines. The drawing is paid on day one and then has to be thrown out because the name was not final. You get two written jobs: one of listening, with photos and a decision, and one of files once that decision is made.

Join our branding community

Join a community for people who care how a brand shows up on the door, the menu and the phone—not just in a pretty PDF. We share brand judgement you can use this week: names, systems, applications and decisions that hold on the floor. No endless moodboards, no empty decks and no agency theatre. Short takes, clear examples and tips for local businesses that already exist and need to look like themselves at every touchpoint.
