Branding design & visual identity FAQs
I just want a logo. Can you help with that?
Yes, Sondo can help with your logo – and do a great job too. However, we only work on projects if we’re also creating a brand strategy, and considering all your visual branding. That way, we can address the actual core of your problem (ie: the reason you’ve come asking for a logo in the first place).
As you know, business owners and managers don’t just wake up one day and decide to change their logo. There are tangible, functional concerns about your business that make you consider a rebrand. Perhaps you want to keep up with industry trends, pivot your service offerings or appeal to a different target audience. Regardless of your aims, the best way to ensure your logo refresh gets results for your business is to place the design process within a greater brand strategy that identifies the story you need to tell to achieve your goals as a business.
This is where Sondo excels. We provide expert advice and quality execution to make your branding project flourish across all touchpoints. And not just in the way it looks, but in the way it improves your business, too. When it comes to the visual identity of your brand, we ensure that all elements – like colours, fonts, icons, photos and graphics – work together to tell the story of your organisation and enrich your brand as whole.
Sounds good, right?

Why is the brand design process collaborative?
When we go on this brand adventure together, we’re going to make some pretty big decisions that could seriously shake up the way your business looks and feels. So it’s important that you not only love these changes, but actually understand why they’re happening and what they can do for your organisation.
In our experience, the best way to ensure this outcome is to include you, our client, in the creative process as much as possible. We’re not going to literally hold the pen in your hand but, when it comes to defining your brand’s personality, you need to know what’s going on. You understand your business far better than we do – you know your employees, your identity, your product or services, your customers and your history. All that stuff, all that knowledge, needs to be poured into the pot. It will only make the outcome better. We promise.
How many brand design concepts will you provide?
Our collaboration with you continues all the way into fine-tuning your visuals. Of course, design is a complex process! But don’t panic, we don’t drag you into the nitty-gritty. Instead we get your input at key milestones that steer the development of your visual identity. Then we use our design skills to bring it all together.
When we design branding, we start by presenting you with 2-3 moodboards that set out different visual directions we could use to convey your brand’s message. Basically these set out options for “the vibe” of your brand, showing proposed brand colours and general styles of typography, iconography and imagery – all based on the brand strategy you’ve already approved.
We’ll get your feedback on which moodboards you like most, along with any more specific notes about elements you love or hate within the moodboards. Based on all that, we usually create 1-2 concepts for your visual brand.
Once we get your feedback on those, we narrow it down further to your favourite concept and continue finessing that until you’re ready for launch.

What visual identity elements do you provide?
In the same way the world’s sense of you as a person is influenced by more than just your name, your brand’s story (and your brand recognition) is influenced by much more than just your logo. With effective and coherent visual representation that takes into account various elements of your visual design and image, you can help to boost your brand recall rates and awareness across the board.
Sondo can provide a brand kit that includes the following items:
- Logo
- Colours
- Fonts
- Images
- Icons
- And more.
