How a project moves

Six phases. Real conversations.

Branding is collaborative work. We bring our craft. You bring the truth about your business. Together we get to something honest.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Workshop on goals, audience, market position. We leave with a shared brief.

  2. 02

    Audit

    Look at the current brand (if any), competitors, market context. What's working, what's not.

  3. 03

    Strategy

    Positioning, voice, archetype, messaging pillars. Written down, signed off.

  4. 04

    Visual Direction

    2–3 distinct creative routes. We present them, you pick one to develop.

  5. 05

    Identity Build

    Logo, color, type, components. Refined through structured rounds of feedback.

  6. 06

    Guidelines & Handover

    Final files, brand guidelines, training session. You're set up to use it from day one.

Why teams pick us

A studio that knows
both worlds.

There are good branding studios everywhere. Here's why local and global teams pick us.

01

Local context, global craft.

We're based in Islamabad and we know the Pakistani market — the audiences, the cultural cues, the print supply chain, the regulatory paperwork. But we deliver work to a global standard, and our portfolio shows it.

02

Bilingual systems by default.

Brands in Pakistan often need to work in Urdu and English. Our identity systems are designed for both from day one — not a font-swap afterthought. Same for Arabic for our Gulf clients.

03

Strategy-led, design-built.

We don't sell a logo and call it branding. Every visual decision traces back to a strategic one — positioning, audience, voice. The work holds up because it stands on something real.

04

From strategy to print, one studio.

Most agencies hand off branding to print suppliers and hope it lands well. We carry it through ourselves — from the first workshop to the proof on the press. One team. One standard.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Q.01 How long does a branding project take?

A logo-only project is 3–4 weeks. A full identity (strategy + logo + guidelines) is 6–10 weeks. A complete rebrand with packaging or print rollout is 10–14 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the discovery workshop.

Q.02 Do I own all the design files?

Yes. Once a project is paid in full, you own all the source files — Adobe Illustrator, Figma, fonts (where licensing allows), the full guidelines doc, every export format you need. We hand it over with documentation.

Q.03 Do you handle trademark registration?

We don't file the trademark ourselves — that's a legal job and you want a real lawyer doing it. We do prepare every asset a trademark agent will ask for, and we can recommend trusted IP lawyers in Pakistan and the UK / US who handle our clients regularly.

Q.04 How many concepts will you show?

We show 2–3 distinct creative directions in the visual direction phase — not seven slight variations of the same thing. Each direction is fully developed enough that you can imagine it as your real brand. From there we pick one and refine.

Q.05 Can you work with our existing logo?

Yes — this is what our rebranding service does. We audit what you have, identify what's worth keeping (the equity), and design the rest around it. Sometimes that means a refresh; sometimes a full rebuild with the original mark preserved. We'll tell you straight which you need.

Q.06 Where are you based, and do you work with international clients?

Studio is in Islamabad, Pakistan. We work with brands across Pakistan (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi), the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), and globally (US, UK, EU). All meetings happen in your timezone, and we bill in USD, GBP, EUR, AED, or PKR.
