What is a Brand?
Maybe you have a logo;
Maybe you haven’t even thought about it.
Maybe you already have a brand? I’m going to explain what branding is. But first let me ask: Have you thought about your brand? If you don’t know what your brand is, how will your customers?

Design Hero Brand Identities
At Design Hero, my branding process gets to the heart of your business, learns it’s most important aspects and values and simplifies them into a clear, concise message that is conveyed to your customers through the logo, the colours, the typography and the photography. This all comes together to form a personality, a brand, for your business. There are six key steps to this process:
Design Hero Branding Process
1
Research
Every design begins with research. It forms the basis of every decision in the design process.
2
Brainstorm
The roughest concepts come to life on paper in graphite, ink and marker.
3
Design
Every design begins with research. It forms the basis of every decision in the design process.
4
Revise
I invite you to get more hands-on and revise aspects of the design. The output of this stage is a chosen concept.
5
Refine
The chosen concepts are taken forwards and prepared for a logopack and brand identity guidelines.
6
Present
I present the final logo in a logopack for a variety of uses, and the brand identity summarised in a nifty guide.
How much should business branding cost?
Often my clients ask me:
“How much should a logo cost?”
This question is hard to answer because firstly a logo is not a brand. And secondly:
the answer is often “how long is a piece of string?”
It depends on what your needs are for your branding. For example, a logo, font selection and colours for a small business are very different from developing a cohesive brand for a large firm with 50 employees.
It is often hard to know what you need for your branding in advance.
That’s precisely why Design Hero branding packages are broken down into tiers to allow business owners maximum flexibility when choosing the package they need.
Only need a budget logo for your starter business? Go with the bronze!
Decide halfway through that you’d like to go all-in and explore a few more options? Then simply upgrade to silver.
The beauty of this cost structure is that YOU are in total control of your budget.
