What does a brand identity project with Marmalade Visual Studio actually include?
You get a logo suite, a colour palette, a type system, a set of brand guidelines and the working files. We build it so it holds up across a shopfront, a website and a label without falling apart.
How long does a full identity normally take from start to finish?
Most projects run six to ten weeks, depending on how quickly feedback comes back and how many routes you want to see. We map the stages out before we start so you know when each one lands.
How much does it cost, and how do you work out the price?
We quote per project rather than by the hour, based on the number of assets and how far the identity needs to travel. You get a fixed figure after the first conversation, so there are no surprises later.
Can you work with a business that is opening for the first time?
Yes, and it is often the best moment to do it. A new venture gets one clear identity from day one, rather than patching something together and paying to redo it two years later.
Do you use templates or stock artwork anywhere in the process?
No. Every mark we make is drawn for you, and we check that nothing similar is already in use in your sector. You end up with something that is genuinely yours to own.
What do I need to have ready before we begin the work?
A sense of who you are talking to and where the identity will appear. You do not need a finished brief. We ask questions in the first session and shape the direction from your answers.
