A brand identity that looks like the work you do.

Identity isn't decoration. It's how buyers judge you before you say a word. We build the whole system, not just a logo file, so everything you put out looks like it came from the same serious company.

Service 02 · Branding

Unlockd designs brand identities and corporate rebrands for established companies and enterprises. Each identity is built as a system: positioning, logo and variants, typography, colour, applications and guidelines, delivered with source files and design tokens developers can use directly, at a fixed price in 3 to 4 weeks.

Who this is for

  • Companies whose work is excellent and whose branding quietly undersells it.
  • Operators moving upmarket who need to look like the price they now charge.
  • Businesses running on years of ad hoc files with no system holding them together.
  • Established companies preparing for growth, a merger or a new market, who need a brand that holds up in front of enterprise buyers.

What's included

01

Positioning

What you stand for, who you're for and what you refuse, agreed in writing. Every visual decision follows from it.

02

Logo and marks

A primary logo plus the variants real use needs: horizontal, stacked, icon and single-colour, with clear-space and minimum-size rules.

03

Typography

A type system with real hierarchy, licensed for web and print, and tested at every size you'll actually use.

04

Colour

A palette with defined roles, contrast-checked against accessibility standards, not picked because it looks nice on a moodboard.

05

Applications

The identity shown in use: website, proposal, documents, signage, vehicles, social. Proof it works beyond the presentation.

06

Guidelines

A short, usable document your team and any future supplier can follow without calling us.

07

Files and design tokens

Organised source and export files in the formats printers and developers ask for, plus colour and type tokens ready for code.

08

Complete handover package

Everything in the agreed scope, ready to use and yours to keep: the finished website or software with its source code, accounts and documentation, all images, and, when branding is part of the project, the final logo, visual identity, collateral and brand guidelines.

How it runs

Week 1

Positioning sessions

Interviews, a look at your market, and the strategic frame. Agreed in writing before any visual work starts.

Week 2

Direction

One considered direction, presented in real use rather than as three logos to choose between.

Weeks 3 to 4

System and handover

Refinement, the full type and colour system and collateral design, then the complete handover: final logo, visual identity, all images and the brand guidelines book. Post-launch support included.

Frequently asked questions

What does a brand identity include?

At Unlockd: written positioning, a logo with all its variants, a typography system, a colour palette with defined roles, the identity applied to real materials, short guidelines, and organised source files with design tokens for developers.

How long does a brand identity take?

3 to 4 weeks for the identity alone, or for brand and website together. Most of the time on longer projects is waiting for reviews, so we keep decisions with one or two people on your side.

Why only one design direction?

Three directions usually means two were never seriously developed, and it turns a strategic decision into a preference test. We agree the positioning in writing first, then develop the direction that follows from it, and refine it with you.

Do I own the logo and the files?

Yes, fully, on final payment. You get source files and organised exports in the formats printers and developers ask for, plus the guidelines. Nothing is held back and there's no licence to renew.

Can you do branding without a website?

Yes. Branding runs as its own 3 to 4 week project. Brand and website built together also take 3 to 4 weeks and cost less than buying them separately, because the thinking is done once.

We already have a logo we want to keep. Can you work with it?

Often that's the right call when the mark is recognised. We build the system around it (typography, colour, layout, applications and guidelines) and only refine the mark where it's technically failing you.
