Brand design · Manchester
Brand design for Manchester brands + faces.
Identity, guidelines, motion and digital systems, and 3D product visuals, for companies and the people behind them.
A brand is the idea people recognise before they read a word. We build that idea, then the system that carries it everywhere.
For a company, that can mean a new identity, a refresh or a launch system. For a face, it’s a personal brand that outlasts a season, a fight or a release. Strategy and expression are developed together and tested where the brand has to work: on screen, in motion and in campaign.
We’re based in Manchester, so workshops and reviews can happen in person across the city centre, Salford, Stockport, Trafford and the rest of Greater Manchester. Film and web sit in the same agency, so the identity moves straight into moving image and digital without losing its point of view.
What’s included
- Identity, Positioning, logo, typography, colour and image direction, designed as one recognisable system.
- Guidelines, Clear rules and working templates, so every team and partner uses the brand well from day one.
- Motion + digital systems, Animated marks, transitions and interface patterns, so the brand moves as well as it looks.
- 3D product visuals, Rendered product imagery and animation for launches, campaigns and online stores.
How it runs
- Meet, We start with the business, the audience and the ambition, in Manchester or remotely.
- Direction, One strategic and visual direction is agreed before the full identity is built.
- System, The direction becomes a complete, flexible system, tested on real applications.
- Launch, Final assets and guidelines, ready for your website, social, campaigns and film.
