Concept development

Every strong logo starts with the right concept

Most business owners know what makes them different. Fewer have put into words the feeling that brings customers back. Before drawing anything, we ask about your services, your customers, competitors you want to stand apart from, and styles you love or dislike.

From that brief, our designers develop several distinct directions, not five versions of the same idea. One might be a bold icon, another a refined wordmark, another a friendly mascot. Seeing real options side by side makes it easier to choose.

What we ask before designing

  • Business name and any tagline
  • What you sell and who buys it
  • Where the logo will appear most: truck, sign, cups, website
  • Colors you want, or colors to avoid
  • Two or three logos you admire, from any industry
  • Your deadline
Send your brief

Logo styles

The five types of logo, and when each one works

Part of concept development is choosing the right structure. Here is how we think about it.

Wordmark

Your name set in custom-styled type. Best for distinctive names and professional services where the name is the brand.

Combination mark

An icon paired with the name. The most flexible choice for most small businesses, because the icon can stand alone on social media.

Monogram

Initials in a crafted arrangement. Great for long names, law firms and fashion.

Brandmark

A symbol on its own. Powerful once people know you, so usually paired with the name at first.

Mascot

An illustrated character. Memorable for restaurants, sports, kids' brands and food trucks. Mascot logos explained.

Why go custom

A custom logo protects what you are building

Template and generator logos are shared by thousands of businesses, which makes them hard to trademark and easy to confuse with competitors. A custom mark is drawn for you alone, so customers connect it only with your business, and you own it outright.

Considering an AI generator first? That can be a useful starting point, and we can turn an AI concept into a professional logo. Compare the approaches in AI logo vs professional logo design.

  • Designed from scratch in Adobe Illustrator
  • Several distinct concepts, not minor variations
  • Revisions with a live designer
  • No upfront payment
  • AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG and JPG files
  • Full ownership after approval
