What We Do
Most businesses look like they were designed by committee, or by no one at all. Inconsistent logos, mismatched colors, and a visual presence that does not reflect the quality of the actual work. Brand identity fixes that. It is the visual and verbal system that communicates who you are before a single word is read. Not just a logo. A complete identity: logomark, color palette, typography, brand voice, messaging framework, and usage guidelines.
What we do not do is hand you a pretty file and disappear. We deliver a brand system your team can actually use, whether you are briefing a web developer, posting on LinkedIn, or sending a proposal. Running Start Digital builds brand identities grounded in competitive research and genuine differentiation. We study your market, understand your audience, and build something that stands apart. Your brand should work as hard as you do.
How We Work
We start with discovery. That means a structured workshop where we get clear on your positioning, audience, competitive landscape, and long-term goals. Not a questionnaire. A real conversation that surfaces what makes your business worth paying attention to. From there we move into research: competitor visual audit, audience analysis, and mood boarding to align on direction before any design work begins.
Concept development follows, where we present two to three distinct directions. Each includes logo concepts, color palette, and typographic system. You choose a direction and we refine it through up to three rounds of revisions. Then we build out the full brand system: primary and secondary logos, icon variants, color tokens, type scale, voice guidelines, and a brand guide your team and vendors can use confidently. Final deliverables are packaged in every format you will need.
