Identity & Brand Systems
Names, logos, type, colour, motion and rules: the parts that make a brand recognisable, designed to work together.
An identity is more than a logo. It’s the set of visual and verbal parts people use to recognise you, and the rules that keep those parts consistent when dozens of people apply them.
We design identities as systems. Every element is tested in the places the brand really lives, from a shop sign to an app icon to a WhatsApp forward, and in both English and Urdu where it needs to be.
What’s included
- Naming
- Company, product and programme names, checked for meaning, pronunciation and availability.
- Logos and wordmarks
- Primary marks, symbols and responsive versions that stay legible from billboard to favicon.
- Visual identity systems
- Colour, type, grid, image style, graphic devices and how they combine.
- Custom and variable type
- Bespoke lettering and typefaces, including Latin and Nastaʼliq or Naskh pairings.
- Motion identity
- Animated logos, transitions and motion rules for video and interfaces.
- Iconography
- Icon sets drawn to match the identity, for apps, signage and print.
- Wayfinding and signage
- Sign systems for campuses, offices, retail and events.
- Brand architecture
- How a parent brand, sub-brands and products relate, and how they’re named.
- Guidelines
- Brand books and web-based guidelines that people actually use.
Where it’s used
New companies and products, rebrands after a merger or change in direction, universities and programmes that need a family of identities, and organisations whose materials are made by many different hands.

Questions
How long does an identity take?
A full identity usually takes 6 to 12 weeks; a refresh of an existing one, 3 to 4 weeks.
Can you design in Urdu as well as English?
Yes. Bilingual identities are a speciality: we pair Latin and Urdu type so they feel like one family, not a translation added later.
