What’s Included in Our Brand Design Services?

Our brand design services cover the visual side of your brand: how it looks, and how that look holds together everywhere it appears. Every branding request is handled by a designer on our PRO tier, the level we use for identity work.

Brand identity design: your logo and its versions (full, stacked and icon), a colour palette, a type system, iconography and the visual rules that tie them together.

Logo design: if you only need a logo, you can request just that and build the wider identity later.

Brand guidelines: logo spacing, colour values for print and screen, type hierarchy, and examples of what to do and what to avoid. Included with identity work on the PRO plan.

Brand collateral design: business cards, letterheads, presentation templates, social media templates, brochures and signage artwork, kept consistent with the identity by the same designer.

Packaging artwork: boxes, sleeves, labels, pouches and wraps, designed on the dieline you or your printer supply.

Our Branding Service explained in 90 seconds

Design Cloud is a subscription design service. You submit requests through our platform and your UK-based designer delivers progress every business day, for a flat monthly fee with no long-term contract unless you choose one.

All the design your team will ever need

Built for In-House Teams who Need Design and Video, Without the Headcount

Design Cloud delivers professional design assets daily, so you can focus on campaigns, not creative bottlenecks.

High-quality work delivered fast

Scale resource up & down

A streamlined platform with a UK-based design team

Every brief, concept, comment and file lives in one place, so you can see where your branding project stands at any point.

UK brand designers who get to know your brand

You work with the same designers every business day. Each designer works with several clients, but because they come back to your brand day after day, they learn your references and preferences quickly. If you need more done at once, you can add a second designer.

Every designer has passed our three-stage hiring process and has at least three years’ full-time industry experience.

Straightforward, Flat-Rate Pricing

No surprises, no hidden costs. Our flat-rate monthly pricing means you pay one set fee regardless of the volume of work or your business size.

You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for, with no fluctuations or extra charges. You don't even need to sign into any long term contract if you don't want to.

Simple Software Platform

Easily communicate with your designers, manage job requests and track daily progress. Say goodbye to scattered emails and confusing updates, everything you need is in one place.

How we compare

Branding agency, freelancer or subscription: how they compare

A branding agency or design agency is the right call when you need strategy, naming and research done alongside the design. A freelancer works well for a single, well-defined identity project with a designer whose style you already love. A subscription makes most sense when you want the identity and then a steady flow of on-brand design afterwards.

How our branding service works, step by step

A branding project with Design Cloud runs as a series of requests in your queue, with your designer sending an update every business day until you sign each stage off.

1. Share your brief and references. Tell us about your business, your audience, the brands you admire and the ones you want to avoid. If you have positioning or brand values already, include them. The clearer the brief, the sooner the first concepts land.

2. Review the first logo concepts. Your designer sends initial logo directions as the first update. You comment on what’s working and what isn’t, directly on the platform.

3. Refine through daily updates. Each business day, you get a revised version based on your feedback. Revisions are unlimited, so you’re never rationing changes.

4. Build the identity system. Once the logo is agreed, your designer develops the colour palette, type, iconography and logo versions around it.

5. Get your guidelines and roll it out. Your designer documents the identity in brand guidelines, then applies it to the collateral you need first: templates, stationery, social assets or packaging artwork.

A logo on its own can move quickly. A full identity with guidelines and collateral is delivered in stages over several weeks of daily updates, depending on how many rounds of feedback you need.

What’s not included in our branding service

Our branding service is design-led. We turn your direction into a visual identity; we don’t set that direction for you. If you don’t yet know who your brand is for or what it stands for, a brand strategist or strategy-led agency is the better first step. Once you have their output, our designers can build the identity from it.

01

Brand strategy, naming and copy

We don’t provide brand strategy, positioning, market research, naming, taglines, messaging or copywriting. You supply the words and the direction.

02

Trademark and legal checks

We don’t run trademark searches or legal checks on a name or logo. Check availability with a specialist before you commit to a new name or logo.

03

Printing and structural packaging

We supply print-ready artwork for your printer. We don’t print, and we don’t create structural packaging or dielines.

04

Website development, 3D and illustration

Website design is a separate UI/UX Design service, delivered in Figma for your developers. We don’t build websites or produce 3D design or custom illustration.

Book a demo and we’ll show you how it works

If you’re launching something new or refreshing an existing brand, book a demo and we’ll show you how the PRO plan works and whether it fits your project.

How much do branding services cost?

Design Cloud’s branding services cost £1,099 per designer per month, excluding VAT, on our Graphic Design PRO plan. Rather than a fixed branding package, you pay the same whether you request one logo or a full identity with guidelines and collateral.

Monthly rolling: £1,099 every month.
Quarterly: 20% off the first month, then 5% off every month after.
Six months: 25% off the first month, then 10% off every month after.
Annual: 30% off the first month, then 15% off every month after.
Annual, paid upfront: 20% off every month, paid as one annual payment.

All prices are per designer per month and exclude VAT. There are no promo codes or one-off discounts beyond these commitment terms.

If you’re already on our Essential or Agency plan for graphic design, you can upgrade to PRO for a branding project and move back down once it’s done. Every plan includes unlimited users and unlimited brands.

Branding agencies usually quote per project, and the price reflects strategy, research and naming work as well as design. See full pricing and contract terms on our pricing page.

FAQs about our Branding Service

Can I get a full brand identity designed?

Yes. We design your logo, colour palette, typography, iconography and brand guidelines as a complete visual identity.

Can I get just a logo designed?

Yes. You can request a logo on its own and build the wider identity later.

Can I request branding for multiple brands?

Yes. Every plan includes unlimited brands. Requests are worked on one at a time per designer, and you can add designers to move more work in parallel.

Can I upgrade to PRO just for a branding project?

Yes. If you're on our Essential or Agency plan, you can upgrade to PRO for the branding work and downgrade afterwards. Mid-term upgrades are charged at the pro-rated difference.

Can you match an existing brand style?

Yes. Upload your current guidelines or references and your designer will follow them.

Do you check whether my logo or brand name is trademarked?

No. We'd recommend checking trademark availability with a specialist before you finalise a new name or logo.

Do you create brand guidelines?

Yes. Brand guidelines are included with identity work on the PRO plan.

Do you design packaging?

We design packaging artwork on the dieline you or your printer supply. We don't create structural packaging or dielines.

Do you offer brand strategy services?

No. You provide the direction, positioning and words; we design the visual identity. We don't offer strategy, naming or messaging.

How long does it take to design a brand?

Your designer sends an update every business day. A logo can be agreed in a few rounds; a full identity with guidelines is delivered in stages over several weeks, depending on your feedback.

How much do branding services cost?

Branding is on our Graphic Design PRO plan at £1,099 per designer per month, excluding VAT, on a rolling monthly plan. Quarterly, six-month and annual terms reduce the price. The fee is the same however many branding requests you submit.

What plan do I need for branding services?

Graphic Design PRO, at £1,099 per designer per month excluding VAT. It includes logo and brand identity design, brand guidelines, collateral and packaging artwork.

What's the difference between a brand refresh and a rebrand?

A brand refresh updates your existing identity while keeping what people recognise. A rebrand replaces the visual identity more fully. We design both; strategy for a rebrand needs to come from your team or a strategist.

Will I receive editable files?

Yes. You'll receive AI, SVG, PNG, JPG and other source files as needed.
