Brand and print

Identity systems, vehicle graphics, and print collateral built from the same design system as the site, so the truck and the website look like one company.

A trades brand lives mostly off screen. It is on a truck, a shirt, a yard sign, and a door hanger, and most of those reproduce badly. An identity designed only for a website tends to fall apart the first time a sign shop asks for a vector file in one color.

Designed for the worst reproduction first

We test a mark at the size and fidelity it will actually be used at before approving it. That means one color, small, and on vinyl. Something that survives those conditions will also look right at full resolution on a screen. The reverse is not true.

Print that can be measured

Print collateral gets a tracked response path, whether that is a distinct number, a QR code, or a landing page built for the piece. Print without tracking is the spend that never gets evaluated and therefore never gets better.

Questions

What gets asked about this.

Do I need a rebrand to work with you on the site?

No. Most engagements use the identity that already exists. A rebrand is worth doing when the current mark cannot survive being reproduced small or in one color.

Why does one color reproduction matter?

Embroidery, stamps, vinyl, and fax grade print cannot carry a gradient. A mark that only works in full color quietly fails on half the places a trades business puts it.

Can you work with my existing sign shop?

Yes. We supply the files in the formats they need and the specification they work from. We do not need to be involved in the install.

Do you handle printing?

We supply print ready files. Printing runs through your vendor or one we recommend, billed directly to you rather than marked up through us.

What about door hangers and direct mail?

We design them and we build the tracking so the response is measurable. Untracked print is the easiest marketing spend to waste.
