The system around the mark

Brand identity design that stays consistent.

Our approach to brand identity design.

Everyone claps at the reveal. Then month seven arrives. The sales deck has invented its own blue. A new starter is pulling colours out of a screenshot.

The mark is about a tenth of the work. The rest is the system holding it up. A type scale at real sizes, colour pairings that pass contrast, lockups for awkward placements.

You see one direction, not three. You get the route we recommend, the reasoning, and the territories we set aside. Then we iterate until it is right.

Naming support where you need itTerritory work, shortlisting and screening guidance. It runs alongside the identity, so the two match.

Hold the line

Week 1

Position before you draw.

Stakeholder interviews, a category audit and a positioning workshop, with the designer present throughout. It ends in a written brief you sign off. That brief is what we are held to later.

Week 2–3

One route, and what we set aside.

The recommended territory is applied to real touchpoints, so you judge it in context. We present it with the reasoning and the alternatives we rejected. You respond to an argument rather than a wall of options.

Rules that outlast us.

The direction becomes a logo suite, colour system, type scale, templates and written guidelines. This is the part that decides whether the brand is still one thing next year.

What we design.

Identity, interface and packaging work — the published examples live in the portfolio.

Design that has a job to do.

Identity, interface and packaging, made to be used.

  • Brand identity and logo systems
  • UI and UX for web and product
  • Packaging and print
  • Campaign and social design

Design work is usually delivered inside a client brand rather than as a case study of its own. The storefronts in the portfolio are the clearest public example of the same team’s design decisions in the wild.

Why brands choose Syscodes.

What clients say after one rebrand that did not stick.

01

One direction, with the argument

The route we recommend, the reasoning, and what we rejected. You buy a decision, not a vote.

1direction, iterated
02

A system, not a logo file

Lockups, scales, pairings, templates and rules. This is why it still holds after we leave.

Contrast tested, not assumed

Colour pairings are checked to WCAG AA. That happens before they ship to a screen or a shelf.

Frequently asked questions.

Including why there is no wall of logo options.

Ask us anything before committing to a call. Most questions get a real answer within a few hours.

How long does a logo and brand identity project take?

A logo suite with core colour and type takes three to four weeks. A full identity runs five to eight weeks. That covers positioning, the system and the guidelines. Adding the rollout takes longer.

Why do you only present one logo direction?

Because the other two were never real. Everybody in the room knows it. You get the direction we recommend, applied in context. You also see the routes we rejected. Iteration is included.

Do we own the logo files and fonts?

Yes. Illustrator and Figma sources are transferred. Font licensing is registered in your name. IP is assigned on payment, with no ongoing fee.

Should we rebrand or just refresh what we have?

We audit first, then tell you honestly which one fits your goal. If the recognition you have is worth keeping, a refresh protects it. If the identity holds the business back, rebrand.

Do you do naming as well as identity?

We support it. Territory work, shortlisting and screening guidance run alongside the identity. The name and the mark are designed together. Deep trademark work goes to a specialist.
