When a new logo is enough
The smallest part of your brand, working the hardest
A logo has to read at 16 pixels and on a shopfront, in full colour and in one. We design for that from the first sketch. Because we also build bespoke websites, your mark arrives in the exact formats your site and print need.
From our Nottingham studio, most logo clients fall into three camps. New businesses launching with a mark that has to earn trust from day one. Established SMEs across the UK whose current logo no longer fits how they've grown. Teams who want brand and web designed together so nothing drifts between the two.
If you need more than a mark, colour, type, guidelines and assets your team can follow, that's a full brand identity project. We'll tell you honestly which fits. Not sure of the difference? See our guides on logo design vs brand identity and what your business actually needs.
How we design your logo
A focused process, typically two to four weeks from discovery to final files, depending on feedback rounds.

DIY mark vs studio logo
How we compare to the cheap alternatives
A £50 marketplace or DIY tool can make you a logo. Here's what changes when a Nottingham logo design agency makes you a mark, and why buy-cheap usually means buy-twice.

Quick answer
Does a logo really change how customers judge a business?
Yes, most people form an opinion within seconds, and around three-quarters of consumers say they recognise a brand by its logo before anything else. Colour alone can lift recognition significantly, and businesses that use their mark consistently see a meaningful uplift in trust and recall over those who don't. It's a small file with an outsized effect on first impressions.

Logo design FAQs
The questions we hear most before a logo project starts.
How much does logo design cost?
We quote per project after understanding your brief. A standalone mark costs less than a full identity system; a rebrand with stationery and guidelines costs more. Our guide on how much a logo should cost in the UK explains what drives the number, and we confirm a fixed quote before any work starts.
How long does logo design take?
Typically two to four weeks, depending on feedback rounds and whether the project includes wider identity work. We agree a timeline with your quote.
How many concepts will I see?
A focused set of directions after discovery, enough choice to compare real approaches without decision fatigue.
Will I own the logo files?
Yes. On completion you receive full ownership of the final artwork and source files.
What file formats will I receive?
Vector files (SVG, EPS and PDF) plus web-ready PNGs, so print suppliers and developers each get exactly what they need.
Can you refresh an existing logo?
Yes. Many clients want a modernised mark that keeps their brand equity while improving clarity and versatility across screen and print.
Do you design logos and websites together?
Yes, it's one of our strengths. Our logo designers work with Nottingham businesses and clients across the UK, designing marks to work on the sites we build with correct formats and clear space from day one. Location rarely limits the project.
Do I need a logo or a full brand identity?
A logo is the mark itself; a brand identity adds colour, type, guidelines and assets your team can apply consistently. If you're unsure, our article on logo design vs brand identity walks through it, and we'll advise honestly on your brief.
