Brand identity and logo design

A few directions, explored properly, rather than a page of quick sketches.

Yes. The contract transfers ownership to you once the work is paid for. More on How we work.

Yes, and it's easier when the same team does both.

It depends on whether it is a refresh or a new identity, whether naming is part of it, and how many templates you need. Most of the calendar time goes on feedback rounds, so quick decisions on your side shorten it more than anything we do. You get the dates in writing with the quote, before any work starts.

An honest description of who buys from you and why, a few competitors, and examples of brands you like and dislike, with a sentence on each. Existing logo files if this is a refresh. And the person with the final say in the room from the first round, not the last.

You do, on licences in your company's name, so nothing depends on our accounts. We tell you what each font costs before we propose it, and there are good free typefaces when the budget is tight. Anything we draw ourselves, the logo and illustrations included, transfers to you once the work is paid for.

The guidelines and templates are made for that. Your team fills in the templates in the tools they already use, and the guide covers the questions that come up every week. When you need something new, such as a trade show stand or an extra template, we quote it as a small separate job.
