Brand Identity Direction

A written, designer-ready foundation for how your brand should look, sound, and feel — before a single logo concept or web page gets built.

$99

STAND ALONE

$49

ADD-ON TO COMPASS OR BLUEPRINT

Direction before execution

01

For founders who aren't ready to design yet

You know the strategy is right, but you haven’t put language to how the brand should actually look and sound. This gives you that language first.

02

For briefing a designer or developer

Hand this document to a logo designer, a web developer, or an internal team member and they’ll know exactly what “on-brand” means before they start.

03

Guidance, not creative execution

This is written direction — palette, type, tone, and application — not finished logo files or a built website. Think blueprint, not building.

What's Included

Full audit of your website and social media presence
Competitive analysis against up to 3 named competitors
Six-dimension scoring across your digital presence
A clear roadmap of recommendations to close the gaps
Delivered within 5 business days

What the finished document looks like

Brand Identity Direction

Sample Structure  •  Illustrative Only

Brand Identity Objective

A short statement of what the identity needs to signal to your specific audience, and the tension it has to hold — for example, staying quiet enough to let your product or story lead, while still carrying enough polish to earn trust with a more discerning buyer.

Visual Personality

Confident! Understated Warm Precise

Voice and Tone

Sample greeting, call-to-action, and sign-off language written in your brand’s voice, plus a short “avoid” list of language and tone that would work against your positioning.

Proposed Color Palette

Primary Deep Navy
Accent Warm Gold
Light Neutral Soft Cream
Dark Neutral Warm Charcoal

Every palette is built from scratch for your brand — this is a sample layout, not a preset.

Typography Direction

Primary / Headlines

Aa  Bb  Cc

Secondary / Body Copy

Aa Bb Cc — clean, legible text for pricing, steps, and detail.

Recommended Logo Direction

A primary direction (often a quiet wordmark or a simplified monogram), plus one or two alternates for different placements — a favicon, a social avatar, a watermark. Written as a creative brief a designer can act on directly.

Website Visual Architecture

How the identity applies section by section — navigation, hero, primary call-to-action, alternating content panels, headings, body text, and footer — so your developer isn’t guessing.

Also included: a clear “avoid” list — the colors, icon styles, or type choices that would undercut your specific positioning, so nothing gets built that has to be redone later.

The Process

01

Discovery

A short intake covering your audience, positioning, and any visual references or preferences you already have in mind.

02

The Build

We translate your positioning into a written system — palette, type, voice, and application — specific to your brand.

03

Delivery

A two-page brand identity document, ready to hand to a designer, developer, or your own team.
