Index / Services — Tier Sheet 03

Three tiers,
one studio
standard.

We don't take on every project type. The work splits cleanly into three engagement tiers — and a fourth lane for studios with their own design teams who want senior consult, not new ownership of the system.

// 01.0 — Mark4 wks

Logomark

// 02.0 — System★ Most Common

Identity
System

Starting · $42,000

The full studio engagement — strategic positioning, mark, type, color, motion, photography, and a 60-page guideline that holds up in court.

  • Everything in the Mark tier, plus:
  • Positioning + verbal identity sprint
  • Three logo directions, presented
  • Full color token system + accessibility
  • Type system — display + workhorse + UI

// In scope, always

What we'll say yes
to.

  • Long phone calls before signing — we want to know the company first
  • Founders who've tried two studios and gotten polished slop
  • Industrial, technical, and unsexy categories — we love them
  • Multi-stakeholder approval chains, when there's one decider at the top
  • Rebrands where the existing equity is real and worth carrying forward
  • Clients who want construction documentation and rationale, not vibes
// Outside our practice

What we'll decline.

  • Speculative pitches against five other studios — we don't compete on spec
  • "Just a logo" engagements with no positioning context attached
  • Web design without an existing identity foundation in place
  • Crypto, casino, predatory finance, or industries we can't defend in print
  • Projects with under six weeks of timeline regardless of fee
  • Committee-driven approval with no senior owner of the brand
