Brand identity pricing packages

Brand identity pricing can vary widely. An agency might charge $50,000 to $250,000, depending on who they are and the scope of the project. But not all businesses need to invest that much. As an independent designer with 20 years of experience, I’m able to bring agency-level design and expertise to the same project that would have a higher cost elsewhere.

Below is suggested pricing for small business clients.

To flesh out your brand, you’ll need more elements like shapes, patterns, textures, or unique photography. We’ll choose 3 touchpoints relevant to you (e.g. web home page, social media posts, t-shirt, info sheet, presentation cover, etc.) and mock them up to show your complete brand theme.

Messaging

Options for descriptive or evocative phrases that capture the essence of your business—taglines, headlines, or talking points.

Social profile

A profile image and banner image for your social media accounts. Ready for you to upload so you’ll look consistent online.

Brand guidelines book

A multi-page document that details your visual identity: rules and examples for putting together your logo, colors, fonts, imagery, and messaging so you’ll know how to create new materials going forward.

Starts at $17,000

Custom Package

Extra materials can be added to the Identity Package to create a Custom Package. Common items include: 

  • Company or product naming
  • Social media post templates
  • Presentation deck templates
  • Signage
  • Packaging
  • Business cards
  • Brochures and info sheets
  • Brand swag (t-shirts, stickers, mugs, pens, and fun stuff)

Not every business needs every item, so we can include only the pieces you need. Or if you’d like to wait and create these down the road as you need them, book Design Days when you want to knock some items off your list. If you have in-house designers or freelancers, they can also reference your brand guidelines to make these materials for you.

A note about websites:
Web design and development is a speciality in itself, so I recommend that clients hire a dedicated individual or firm for this. The firm can use the style and elements we develop in the Identity Package to create your site.
