When we design a logo for a company that has no idea what they need, we use the full design process to determine those needs. Here we’ll break down this process in phases:
Research Phase
Duration: 3.5 hours
- Read and understand the design brief
- Research who the company is and what they do
- Discuss insights with the client regarding their business strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT Analysis)
- Utilize market research the client has provided or research some industry reports to understand who the target market is
- Perform competitive market research by reviewing competitor’s websites and their branding approach

Brainstorm Phase
Duration: 2.5 hours
This is the time to get inspired. We mind-map, consider solutions in different countries that were widely successful, bust out the sketchbook and take all ideas down on paper regardless of what they are. Design concepts aren’t made from scratch–they are improved upon, refined, and they evolve.

Design Phase
Duration: 1.5 hours
After all concepts have been translated to paper, we cull through the sketches to select the strongest logo designs. Our designers then digitize the concepts into high-quality vector outputs for the client to choose. Usually, we narrow the concepts down to just a handful (1-3) to help our clients with the selection process.
