HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED A REBRAND?

There's a few telltale signs that I regularly hear from my clients before we start working together...

 

• My existing graphics and marketing assets just aren't cutting it anymore.

• I feel disconnect from my brand.

• My logo is rubbish and looks very amateur – I want to look and feel more professional!

• I'm embarrassed of my existing logo, and it just doesn't 'fit' with my brand anymore.

• My business have changed / grown over the years and my logo and branding doesn't represent me correctly anymore.

• My DIY 'this-will-do' logo from the infancy of my business doesn't represent who I am any more.

• I'm struggling to access that 'next level up' clientele with tired, underwhelming graphics and logo.

• I have a dated logo, but no set colours or branding as such – I am ready for a brand boost!

• I need to raise my prices for my product/service and know that I need to look more premium to do so.

• I don't have any consistency with my branding and don't know how / what looks good.

• I hate my colours! But I don't know what to change them to.

• I have a business but no brand.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REBRAND?

It takes four to six weeks to go through a full branding design with SK Design Studio because we work together from the beginning. The process starts with a detailed questionnaire that gets you thinking and then I can conduct thorough research and develop three suitable concepts for your selection based on your answers, your Pinterest board and your industry. We have built-in deadlines in our project so we don’t overrun. You're kept up to date at every stage and we get the results you desire.

WHAT IF I JUST WANT A LOGO?

Then, unfortunately, I am not the designer for you.

 

Building a brand is more than just a logo. That is only one part of your brand-puzzle. It also requires the cohesion of many elements; the careful study into tone of voice and how you use your words, your message and values, style of imagery/photography and more. I have many creative freelance contacts who I would happily put you in touch with should you wish to develop your brand further after working with me. I feature all my creative contacts in my Project Handover Pack, which you receive at the end of our branding project.

​

I also believe that a strong logo design is successful because, along with your graphic assets, it truly represents your brand well. There's a lot of research and discovery that goes into finding out about what you do and where you want to be, who your dream clients are and in finding a style that will reflect this, knitting all of these things together is a skill!

​

HOW DO I USE MY BRANDING?

With ease! I provide you with a comprehensive Using Your Brand Assets document on ways and places to use your logo and how to implement your brand colours, and more. At the end of your journey you will have all the files you need to order your own pens, coasters or business cards - but should you need any help in designing these items, just ask.

​

​

​

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Of course! You can either pay in full at the time of booking, or you can take advantage of my three-payment plan. If you require a longer payment plan, please message me and we can discuss the details further. However, this may mean a delay in your start date to accommodate the additional payments. Payments can be made by card or ACH using Stripe.

​

​

​

CAN I MESSAGE YOU IF I GET STUCK WITH MY NEW BRANDING?

Definitely! You should find the answer to your question in your Brand Guidelines or the Using Your Brand Assets Guidelines, BUT if not, just drop me an email and I’ll happily help.

​

​

​

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY BUSINESS MARKETING COLLATERAL?

Yes, please! Brand creation is just one of many jobs I love to do. Applying your branding across marketing materials would be a pleasure. The more you utilise your branding, the more impact it will have.

​

​

​

CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH REGULAR CONTENT DESIGN?

I'd love to! Check out the RETAINER DESIGN service section for more information.

​

​

​

DO YOU TAKE ON LARGE PROJECT WORK?

Yes. I love to get my teeth stuck into a big chunky project such as a presentation design, magazine or catalogue of services or products. I have experience in designing 100+ page presentations and prospectuses, so a larger project doesn't faze me; in fact, I much prefer them. 

​

​

I NEED THIS DONE ASAP, CAN I HAVE IT TOMORROW?

Usually, no. My diary is often booked out months in advance but I do charge a Rush Fee for small jobs that I can shoehorn into my working day or weekend, upon request.

​

​

​

CAN YOU DESIGN MY WEBSITE?

I can, but I'd rather not! I have an abundance of freelance contacts who I'd happily refer you to, should you need a new website, words, photography, or videography for your business.
