Build · Branding & Identity

An identity that works at business-card size and billboard size.

Marks, colour, type and the small applied pieces, the parts of a brand people actually encounter.

What we make

Marks & logotypes

A primary lockup plus the variants you will actually need: a compact mark, a light and a dark treatment, and a favicon that is legible at 16 pixels.

Colour & type systems

A palette with defined roles rather than a row of swatches, and a type scale that holds together across a site, a deck and a printed page.

Applied pieces

Business cards, signage, email signatures, social avatars, document templates. The unglamorous items that decide whether a brand looks maintained.

What a finished kit looks like

Not a mood board. These are the real deliverables, the same documents we hand over at the end of an identity project, and both of them are kits we actually run on.

Concept kits

Studies we built to work out how a system holds up for a trade, a practice, a cause and a gym. The brands are invented, the systems are not, each one is a complete kit you can read end to end.

All six open in a new tab, and all six are served from this site rather than screenshotted from somewhere else. Try the theme toggle in each header, a kit that only works in one theme isn’t finished.

Delivered as a system, not a folder of files

Every identity ships with usage notes, exported assets in the formats you will need, and the source files. It is yours.

What you receive

  • Vector source plus exported SVG, PNG and WebP at real sizes
  • Light and dark variants of every mark
  • Colour values with defined roles and contrast notes
  • A short written guide, enough to keep it consistent, short enough to read

Why the file naming matters

Assets ship on a strict grammar, so a year from now you can tell which file you need without opening any of them:

artisan-studios__lockup__dark__2048w.webp

name · kind · theme · size. Boring on purpose.

One team for the identity and everything it gets applied to.
