03 — Fit

Who it's for.

Brand System is for teams, not just founders. When your identity needs to scale past a single person's taste — and travel cleanly across products, print runs, and external collaborators — this is the tier.

A

D2C brands scaling up

You're 2 – 10 SKUs deep, opening new channels, and the patchwork from your launch year is starting to show. You need one cohesive system everyone can reference.

B

Hospitality & retail

Cafés, restaurants, stores, studios — places where the brand lives across menus, signage, uniforms, and printed material daily.

C

Growing service firms

10+ person consultancies, agencies, and professional practices where a credible, grown-up system matters for pitch work and client delivery.

D

Cultural & editorial projects

Publishers, festivals, museums, creative studios. Places where brand identity is itself part of the creative output.

06 — Service FAQ

Common questions.

We design 1 – 3 primary SKUs as the direction — the formula for how packaging should look across the product line. Your printer or structural designer uses this to finalise production artwork. If you have 10 + SKUs, we'll quote the additional ones as an add-on.
There's no hard minimum, but it's best suited to 3+ person teams or businesses with active operational complexity (physical retail, multiple products, external collaborators). Solo founders usually find Identity to be sufficient until they scale.
No — we don't design or build websites. What we do include is a detailed art-direction document for your web team: grid, typography, button styles, and imagery guidance. We'll also do a free review of the first dev pass.
For 30 days after final handover: file format tweaks (additional sizes, new file types), Q&A with your team or incoming designers, briefing your web developer, and minor touch-ups. Does not cover new creative work — that's billed separately.
Yes. Guidelines are delivered as an interactive PDF (for team use) and a print-ready booklet file. Printing the booklet is on you — we can recommend a printer in Bengaluru if useful.
Yes. Brand System projects are typically structured as 3 instalments (40% / 30% / 30%) tied to kickoff, mid-point approval, and delivery. Helps cash flow and keeps decisions clean.

07 — Scope honesty

What's not included.

  • Brand naming or verbal strategy (we work with what you have)
  • Website design & development
  • Custom illustration system (quoted separately)
  • Photography — art direction only, no shoot production

For additional scope, see custom quotes.

For growing teams

Time to make
it properly.

Send an enquiry mentioning "System". Most System engagements begin with a longer discovery call — an hour rather than thirty minutes.
