Branding in Nottingham
There are plenty of designers in Nottingham already, so we only take on work in the city where a small studio from north Nottinghamshire is plainly the right choice. That usually means an owner-run business in Beeston, Arnold or West Bridgford that wants one person to deal with, or a firm on the Science Park that needs to look established without a big agency process.
Branding from £1,200. About 50 minutes from our studio, with no travel charge.
Branding for Nottingham businesses
The Lace Market shows how much of Nottingham's reputation was built on making things well, and an independent can still borrow that heritage. It can work for a maker or a shop in an old warehouse. For most businesses, though, lace patterns and castle outlines are the obvious choice, which makes them hard to own. We would sooner find a visual idea in your own work.
Firms at Nottingham Science Park and in health and life sciences often need their brand to do quiet, serious work. Investors and NHS buyers read their documents closely. A clear name and a calm, well-organised identity, with templates for reports and presentations, will carry more weight with that audience than anything showy.
Retail and hospitality around Old Market Square and Castle Marina compete for attention far harder than shops in a market town. There, a brand has to earn a second look on a phone screen, so we spend much of our time on the small versions, such as the social profile picture and the stamp on a coffee cup. Manufacturers out at Colwick sit closer to the Science Park end of things.

Branding in Nottingham: your questions
Can you pick up a brand another Nottingham designer started?
Yes. If the core idea is sound, finishing or extending it is often better than starting again. We would ask for the original files, look at what has been used so far and where it breaks down, then fill the gaps: missing versions of the logo, a proper colour specification, guidelines or templates. If the foundation needs rethinking first, we will say so plainly.
We are a small company on the Science Park. When do we need proper brand guidelines?
Earlier than you might expect, though they can be short. As soon as more than one person produces documents or presentations, things start to drift. A few pages covering the logo, colours, type and tone of voice, with examples, keep everyone consistent. They also make life easier for freelancers and printers, who will otherwise guess.
How much does branding cost in Nottingham?
Our branding starts at £1,200, and the price is the same wherever you are. The calculator on our pricing page gives you a rough figure in about thirty seconds.
Do you charge extra to travel to Nottingham?
No. Nottingham is about 50 minutes from the studio and visits are included in the project price.
