Every company has a story – so I’ll always begin at the very start.

As part of the logo design process, I’ll get to know your heritage, your goals and your ideal client. I’ll then process this information to create a logo that not only dazzles, but also strengthens your brand’s presence.

Where do I start?

At the very start of the logo design process, I’ll need to spend some time reading through your design brief to get a feel for the kind of look you want to achieve. I can only deliver an incredible concept once I’ve got to grips with the underlying character of your brand and identity, and explored various ways of bringing it to life.

I’m so confident that you’ll love what I’ve produced that unlimited design revisions are included in all of my logo design packages as standard.

I won’t stop until you’re besotted with your new design!

Take a look at some examples of my logo design work here.

Step 1 – Select your logo design package

My business logos are always created from scratch – but to make life easier for both of us, I’ve put together a range of set logo design packages. These are designed to match your needs and budget. And if you want to extend your brand’s visual identity into your business stationery, your company flyers or even your website design, you can choose to add these extra designs to your order at this stage.

Please note that I require a 50% deposit* when taking on new company logo design projects. Payments can be made via BACS, credit or debit card. The remaining design fee will be due at the end of the logo design process when the final concept has been approved; it’s at this point that I will finalise the logo and prepare the files in all the necessary formats.

I totally appreciate that no two businesses are the same, so feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss an alternative payment plan.

* The 50% deposit does not apply to the Budget Logo Package; payment is due in full before work starts.

Step 2 – Submit your logo design brief

Sometimes you’re so close to your own project that it’s tricky to communicate exactly what you’re looking for. But don’t worry – I’ve put together a handy logo questionnaire for you that will help me understand your business.

I would always recommend giving me as much information as you possibly can at this stage of the logo design process, because the more I get, the more I can explore! If you’ve spotted examples of other company logos that you like, feel free to send these to me too, and I’ll use them as a starting point.

In addition to your input, I’ll also review:

  • Your current business logo design, along with all of the print and web materials you use
  • The company logos of a number of your closest competitors
  • Examples of styles that I think will be a good fit for your brand

 

Step 3 – Developing your logo concept

This is where the excitement builds – you’ll start seeing your ideas transformed! Depending on your chosen logo design package, expect the initial design concepts within 3 working days. Once you’ve had a good look through them, you can send me your feedback on the elements of the design that you do and don’t like, and I’ll make revisions where necessary. Remember, you get UNLIMITED logo design revisions as part of my service, so you have the freedom to be as fussy as you like!

you like!

For efficiency and clarity, I prefer to share each round of concepts via email and receive feedback the same way. It’s easier to track our conversations this way.

Step 4 – Refining the logo design

At this point in the logo design process, I’ll follow the same instructions as in Step Two as many times as I need to. I’ll keep on sending you fresh ideas until you’re 100% delighted with the final result.

Step 5 – You’re ready for launch!

Now it’s time to wrap up the logo design process and unleash your brand new company logo into the ether! Once I’ve received your final 50% payment, I’ll prepare your new logo for its big debut. You’ll receive your logo in a range of file formats, ready for all online and offline applications. A logo style guide accompanies your files, which includes the fonts and colour variations used to create the graphic.

When you’re ready to launch your logo, you’ll get:

  • A high-res .AI vector file – fully scalable to any size!
  • Print and screen-ready formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, PDF, SVG, AI & EPS
  • The fonts that have been used within your logo design
  • A square version of your logo for social media profiles
  • A logo style guide listing CMYK and RGB values and fonts
  • A file type guide explaining the uses of each format provided

Had a great experience with DesignFX

After using AI to brainstorm a few ideas myself, I sent my thinking to Natalie. She took the time to fully understand the business, my market and customer base. She also listened to my early ideas on the type of illustrated logo I was looking for.

What Natalie created exemplified the kind of image I was going for. She had really taken onboard everything I'd said but also had the creative confidence to offer alternatives to some of my more undefined ideas to produce something better than I had hoped for.

If you're looking for a logo that covers the basics then AI can often give you what you need. But if your brand really matters to you, and you're looking for something that reflects you and the image you want to present, then it really pays off to go with a creative designer.

As well as a great finished design, Natalie also made it a very rewarding process.

Natalie at Design FX Studio has been fantastic to work with. She helped develop the branding and design assets for my business, including the logo refinement, report cover designs, business card, and Word document graphics.

The quality of the work has been excellent throughout. Natalie was responsive, professional, patient with revisions and really understood the style I was looking for, clean, modern and professional. The final report covers in particular look brilliant and have given the business a much more polished and credible feel.

I would happily recommend Natalie and Design FX Studio to anyone looking for high-quality branding or design support.

I had a great experience working with Natalie at Design FX. She was patient, creative and incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, especially while we refined multiple iterations of my business card design.

She really took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve with my brand and offered thoughtful suggestions while still respecting my vision. The final design looks sharp, professional and exactly how I wanted it. The print quality is excellent too, great weight and finish.

Highly recommend Design FX if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about getting the details right.

Probably one of the greatest B2B experiences I have experienced in my working career. The thing that first drew me to Design FX Studio was the fact that Natalie has been in this business for over 30 years. Once we had an initial meeting she had my buy in.

From then on out the service experience was second to none. the website was fully bespoke, with beautiful designs throughout the pages. A lot of care and attention were given to my intended outcomes which really meant a lot. The end result was perfect.

Thank you so so much Natalie! we will be recommending Natalie to anyone needing assistance in the future and will definitely be back in touch ourselves for future web development.
