Visual brand identity development in Chicago

Chicago brands balance heritage and innovation.
We help you stay clear through both.

Sharp at scale

Co-owned by every team

Anchored in reality

Challenges we solve

Stay recognizable.
Everywhere.

We design identity systems
that don’t break between platforms, formats, or teams —
so you don’t need to re-explain who you are every time you show up.

Investors can’t tell what
you do.

Your story shifts depending on who’s talking — and it shows.

Teams speak different brand languages.

Product, marketing, and sales each improvise their own version.

Design looks good.
Until you print it.

Without real-world constraints, even the best idea falls apart.

You reintroduce yourself
every time.

New hires, new partners —
no clear system to build on.

Who we work with

Startups

You don't just need a logo.
You need to look fundable —
and memorable.

Visual + verbal identity
Pitch- and deck-ready
Easy to evolve

Build your identity

Small businesses

As teams grow, brands splinter.
We keep yours aligned
and consistent all the challenges.

Shared rules + voice
Internal + external use
Easy to onboard

Align your system

Corporations

Growth adds pressure.
We design identity systems
that scale without breaking.

Modular brand assets
Format-agnostic
Approved + rollout-ready

Standardize your assets

Why doesn’t the brand feel consistent?

Because it’s not really an identity — it’s a pile of assets with no system.

You’ve got an old logo file, a type spec buried in Figma, a color palette in someone’s onboarding doc… and every designer has their own interpretation. Marketing tweaks it. Product compresses it. Events reinvent it. At some point, people stop asking what’s on-brand — they just make their best guess.

That’s not a system. That’s entropy.
A real identity scales with the team — and stays recognizable at every touchpoint.

What goes into identity creation?

Built to last — not just look good

A beautiful logo means nothing if it breaks at rollout.
We design identities that explain, scale, and adapt.

Format-proof

Message-first

Plays nice with your stack

Whether it's internal docs or packaging vendors,
your identity should show up right — without extra tools.

Tool-flexible

Share-ready

Easy to update, hard to break

We don't hand over locked files. Your system stays editable, extendable, and ready for whatever's next.

Figma-ready

No design degree required

Custom to your use case

We build for how your brand actually operates —
not just how it looks in a case study.

Role-specific guidelines

Built on real outputs

Still redesigning things from scratch?
