CAN WE ASK YOU A QUESTION...
Why would you settle for only a logo?
Your business is your passion and you deserve a brand that reflects your heart. You don’t deserve only a logo - you deserve a brand identity that showcases you.

THE BASE SERVICE
Branding
Everything starts with a base idea, a purpose, a dream, that develops into something tangible. A weak base (a.k.a. a logo) can only withstand so much, but a strong base (a brand) can support your business. This is your brand essence, personality, values, etc. It also happens to be the entrance to the rest of our services.
this package includes:
BRAND STRATEGY
BRAND IDENTITY SUITE
BRAND STYLE GUIDE
timeline: 6 to 8 weeks

we'll be a good fit if...
You know and understand the importance of intentional, strategy-first design and the investment needed to develop exceptional branding.
You love to live. You never sacrifice time to make memories with those you love, never hesitate to try new things. and always schedule time to do things for you.
You believe in the power of kindness - that one kind act, as simple as a friendly smile, can make a world of difference in someone's life.
NOT SURE YOU'RE READY FOR BRANDING?
Start with Strategy
Before start designing, we dive deep into research and build a strategy based on psychology, data and experience. We offer a strategy pre-package that helps you gain clarity for your brand, focuses your business goals, and gives you a preview of working with us.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You have questions. We have answers.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
Each package has a unique timeline based on what your business' particular needs are, but most take at minimum 6 weeks. Collateral, refinements, and additional factors add on to the timeline. If you would like to just get an idea for what you might need, send us an email and let's set up a time to chat!
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! Our most simple goal at EQBM is to help you. A non-refundable deposit is required to book your spot in our queue. We can set up a payment plan that works best for your needs for the remaining payments. We quote payment plans on a case-by-case basis. You can inquire here.
WHAT IS THE ONE-CONCEPT METHOD?
Our clients hire us, because they trust in our process and know that we put forward the most successful, strategic solution for their brand. The reason the solution works is because our process is based in strategy, allowing us to focus all of our creative energy into a cohesive brand that is not only beautiful, but works functionally.
CAN YOU CREATE JUST A LOGO FOR ME?
We don't believe a logo can accurately and completely encompass your brand's story or set your business up for success for years on end. For that reason, we don't offer just a logo and only specialize in full branding. If you aren't sure you're ready for full branding, start with strategy! We offer a strategy package to help you focus on your business goals before diving into design.
WE HAVE PAST BRANDING ELEMENTS WE'D LIKE TO KEEP. CAN YOU WORK WITH THEM?
We believe, that in order to ensure the most success for your business, a completely custom brand identity should be built from square one. When we try to combine past elements with new, you often get a brand pieced together which doesn't speak to your audience. While we can revamp old ideas and figure out a strategy to incorporate them, we work best when we're able to have total creative freedom with your brand. We always provide a brand audit with our strategy process so you can get an objective opinion on what is and isn't working with your current branding.
CAN I ADD TO THE SCOPE OF WORK AFTER WE START WORKING?
Of course! If you later decide that you would like to add items, we will send you an additional scope of work that will be billed at the completion of the project before final files are sent. Please note that additional items could potentially extend the completion date and final files will not be sent until all bills are settled.
CAN I HIRE YOU FOR WORK OTHER THAN BRANDING?
We do offer continued support packages for businesses that would like extra help with running their business. These are usually offered to our clients that have gone through our branding process first. However, we do make an exception for businesses to book us out for a bank of hours each month to be guaranteed time to develop additional marketing collateral.
WHEN CAN WE START WORKING TOGETHER?
Our schedule fluctuates due to availability, but we will get your project started as soon as we are able. We recommend filling out the client application and setting up a meeting with us right away. This way we can get the proposal, contracts and deposit completed to reserve your spot in our calendar. You don't want to wait too long, because we can fill up quickly and you might lose your desired deadline.
