Branding & naming

Look like the business you already are.

Branding for local businesses: a name, a logo, colors, fonts, and templates that make you recognizable everywhere, from the sign on your door to the story on Instagram. New brands, or a refresh of the one you have.

What’s inside

Branding, naming, and brand kits.

Take one or all three. Everything comes as files you keep.

Branding

A look that’s yours, not a template.

A logo, colors, and fonts drawn from what your business already is: the food, the craft, the neighborhood, the crowd. Built to read on a sign, a menu, a phone screen, and a tiny profile photo.

  • Logo suite
  • Colors & fonts
  • Files for print and screen

Naming

A name people actually say, and tag.

If the name isn’t working, we start there, before any logo. We look at what customers already call you and what’s easy to say, search, and type, then go through options with you until one fits.

  • Name options
  • Handle & domain check
  • The story behind the name

Brand kits & templates

Stay on brand without calling a designer.

The pieces you use every week, ready to go: social templates, a watermark for your photos, profile images, menus, and flyers, set up so you or your team can fill them in.

  • Social templates
  • Watermark & profile kit
  • Menus, flyers & signs

How it works

How a brand comes together.

Three of the five C·A·S·T·L steps do most of the work here.

  1. Clarify

    How do people describe you now? What do they tag, search, and remember? We start there.

  2. Architect

    Name and direction options, in writing. You pick one, and we refine it until it fits.

  3. Show up

    The logo suite and kit, delivered as files you keep, ready for your sign, menu, and profile.

Questions about brand

How do you price a project?

Every project starts with a short call and a written quote: what we’ll build, in what order, and what it costs. No long contracts. Needs input: Angel to confirm wording

Can you refresh my brand instead of starting over?

Yes. We build new brands or refresh the one you have. If your name and colors already work, we keep them and fix what doesn’t, like a logo that blurs at small sizes.

Can you help name my business?

Yes. Naming is often where we start. Shot by Khris began as “Motion Media”; we landed on the credit people already type when they tag him.

What files do I get, and do I keep them?

Your logo suite for print and screen, your colors and fonts, and the kit pieces we agree on, like templates, a watermark, or a profile kit. You keep every file.

Do I need a new brand before I get a website?

Not always. If people already recognize you, we can build the website on what you have and refresh the brand later.
