Every business is different, so I’ll always start by getting to know yours.

At the start of the logo design process, I’ll spend some time going through your design brief to understand your business, the ideas you already have and the kind of brand identity you want to create. This gives me a clear starting point before I begin developing your initial concepts.

My goal is always to make sure you feel genuinely happy with the final design, which is why revisions are included across all of my logo design packages, with unlimited revisions included in most

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

For my bespoke logo design packages, original concepts are created from scratch around your individual business and design brief. I also offer specialist packages for businesses that already have an existing logo, AI-generated concept or artwork that needs refining, repairing or modernising.

And if you want to extend your new visual identity into your business stationery, company flyers or website design, you can add these extra design services to your project at this stage.

Logo design packages are paid in full before I begin work. This keeps everything nice and straightforward and covers the concept and revision stages included within your chosen package. Once I’ve received your payment and completed design brief, I can get started on your initial concepts. Payment can be made by BACS, credit or debit card.

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 logo design package.

Step 2 – Submit your logo design brief

Sometimes you’re so close to your own project that it can be difficult to clearly 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’d always recommend giving me as much information as you can at this stage of the logo design process – the more I understand, the more I have to work with! If you’ve spotted other logos, colours, typefaces or styles that you like, feel free to send these over too, as they’re really useful for helping me understand the direction you’re drawn to.

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

  • Your current business logo, 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 the ideas take shape! Depending on your chosen logo design package, you can typically expect your initial design concepts within 2–3 working days. Once you’ve had a good look through them, send me your feedback on what you do and don’t like and I’ll make revisions where needed. Most packages include unlimited revisions; the Essential Logo Package includes three rounds, so don’t be afraid to tell me if something isn’t quite right!

To keep everything simple and easy to track, I prefer to share each round of design concepts and revisions by email.

Step 4 – Refining the logo design

At this stage of the logo design process, I’ll continue refining your preferred design within the revision allowance included in your package until everything feels absolutely right.

Step 5 – You’re ready for launch!

Once your final design has been approved, I’ll prepare your completed logo artwork in the appropriate formats for print and digital use. You’ll also receive a Logo Design Guide and helpful File Type Guide, so you’ll know exactly what you’ve received and which files to use where.

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

  • AI, EPS, PDF and SVG vector files for print and scalable use
  • JPEG and PNG files for everyday digital use, including a transparent PNG
  • A square social media profile image, plus icon version where appropriate
  • A Logo Design Guide detailing the fonts and colour specifications used
  • A File Type Guide explaining which file to use and when

Logo file formats supplied for print and digital use

 

 

And the process doesn’t stop there.

For many clients, logo design is simply the first step.

Once your new branding has been finalised, I can also help carry it through to websites, business cards, stationery, brochures, exhibition materials, folders and inserts and wider marketing materials, helping everything work together visually.

Already have an existing logo concept created elsewhere using AI software, Canva or another design platform? I can also redraw and prepare existing artwork, ensuring all final files are suitable for both print and digital use moving forward. Find out more about my AI Logo Design & Refinement package.

Frequently
Asked Questions

  • When do you start working on my project?

    I’ll begin once your full package payment and completed logo design brief have been received. That gives me everything I need to start developing your initial concepts.

  • How soon will I receive my logo?

    Most initial logo concept rounds are delivered within 1–3 working days, depending on the package selected. From there, timings will depend on how quickly feedback is provided and how many revisions are needed before we arrive at the final design.

  • How involved do I need to be in the design process?

    As involved as you’d like to be! I’ll need your input at the beginning when completing the design brief, and then throughout the revision stages. The more feedback you can provide, the easier it is for me to refine the design into something you absolutely love.

  • Is there a limit on the number of designs I can revise?

    Not at all. Where your package includes several initial concepts, you’re welcome to explore changes across more than one design before deciding which direction you’d like to develop further.

  • What if I don’t like the first round of concepts?

    Don’t worry – the first concepts are the starting point for the design process, not the finished result. I’ll use your feedback to refine the ideas and explore changes within the revision allowance included in your package until we arrive at the right direction.

  • How many revisions am I allowed?

    Most of my logo design packages include unlimited revisions, so I’ll continue refining your chosen direction until everything feels right. The Essential Logo Package includes three rounds of revisions.

  • What happens once my logo design has been approved?

    Once you’ve signed off the final design, I’ll prepare your logo files in the appropriate formats for print and digital use. I’ll also supply your Logo Design Guide and File Type Guide, so you know exactly what has been supplied and which file to use for different applications.

  • Why is payment required upfront?

    Logo packages are fixed-price services with clearly defined concepts, revisions and deliverables. Payment in full secures your project and allows me to begin the creative work straight away, without further invoicing part-way through the process.

  • Can you help with business cards, websites and other branding after my logo is finished?

    Absolutely – logo design is often just the beginning. Once your new branding is complete, I can help roll it out across business cards, stationery, brochures, website design, social media graphics, exhibition materials and much more.

  • Can you manage the print process?

    Absolutely. Once your logo is complete, I can also manage the printing of business cards, stationery, brochures, folders, exhibition materials and other branded items – advising on suitable stocks, finishes and production methods and sourcing the right printer for the job.

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.

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.
