Design Agency in Savannah, GA

Your brand is more than a logo. It’s every impression people have of your business – from the colors on your website to the fonts on your business cards to the photos on your social media. When these elements work together, you build recognition and trust. When they don’t, you look inconsistent and unprofessional.

I’m Benjamin, and I’ve spent 15 years helping Savannah businesses create cohesive brand identities that actually work. Not just pretty designs that sit in a folder – complete visual systems that help you stand out and stay memorable.

What Design Agency Services Actually Include

Most businesses think they just need a logo. But that’s like building a house and only designing the front door. A complete brand identity covers every visual touchpoint where customers interact with your business.

Brand Strategy

Before we design anything, we figure out who you are and who you’re trying to reach.

What makes your business different? Who are your ideal customers? What feeling should your brand create? How formal or casual should you seem? These questions shape every design decision that follows.

I’ve worked with business owners who thought they needed a “professional corporate” look, then realized their customers actually wanted something more approachable and friendly. Getting this right at the start prevents expensive redesigns later.

Logo Design

Your logo appears everywhere – your website, signs, business cards, social media profiles, invoices, packaging. It needs to work at every size, in color and black-and-white, on light and dark backgrounds.

I design logos that are:

• Simple enough to recognize instantly – people should remember it after seeing it once
• Versatile – looks good on everything from a tiny favicon to a building sign
• Timeless – won’t look dated in five years
• Appropriate – matches your industry and target audience

You’ll get multiple file formats (vector, PNG, JPEG) in different configurations so you’re ready for any use.

Visual Identity System

This is where brand consistency actually happens. I create a complete visual system that defines:

Color Palette: Primary colors, secondary colors, accent colors – with specific codes (HEX, RGB, CMYK) so they look identical everywhere

Typography: Fonts for headlines, body text, and accents – with guidelines for how to use each one

Imagery Style: What types of photos, illustrations, or graphics match your brand personality

Design Elements: Patterns, shapes, icons, or other visual details that make your brand recognizable

Logo Usage Rules: Minimum sizes, spacing requirements, what NOT to do with your logo

Everything documented in a brand style guide you can share with designers, printers, or anyone creating materials for your business.

Marketing Collateral

Once your brand identity is established, I design the materials you actually use:

Print Materials:

• Business cards that make strong first impressions
• Letterhead and envelopes for professional correspondence
• Brochures that explain your services clearly
• Postcards, flyers, or direct mail pieces
• Signage and banners for your location or events

Digital Assets:

• Social media graphics (profile images, cover photos, post templates)
• Email newsletter templates
• Presentation decks
• Digital ads
• Website graphics

Every piece follows your brand guidelines, so everything looks like it came from the same company.

Why Brand Consistency Actually Matters

I’ve seen businesses waste thousands of dollars on marketing that doesn’t work because their brand looks different everywhere. One ad looks corporate and serious, their website feels casual and fun, their business cards seem cheap, their social media uses random colors.

Potential customers see this inconsistency and wonder: “Is this a legitimate business? Can I trust them? Are they professional?”

Consistent branding signals:

• You’re established and credible
• You pay attention to details
• You’re professional and organized
• You’re worth paying attention to

Recognition matters too. When someone sees your Instagram post, then later spots your business card, then visits your website – they should immediately know it’s all you. That repetition builds familiarity and trust.

What Makes a Design Agency Different from Just a Logo

Plenty of designers will make you a logo for $100. Some are even pretty good. But a logo without a complete brand system is like buying a car engine without the rest of the car – it’s a component, not a solution.

A logo designer gives you:

• One image file
• Maybe a couple color variations
• Basic format options

A design agency gives you:

• Complete visual identity system
• Strategy behind every design decision
• All the materials you actually need
• Guidelines for using everything consistently
• Ongoing support for future materials

The difference shows up in your marketing. Businesses with just a logo struggle to create consistent materials. Every new flyer or social post becomes a design challenge. Nothing quite matches. You constantly wonder, “Is this on-brand?”

Businesses with complete brand systems know exactly how everything should look. Creating new materials becomes straightforward. Everything matches. You look established and professional.

Common Questions About Branding Services

“I already have a logo. Can you just update it?”

Depends on what you have. If your current logo has good bones but needs refinement, we can modernize it while maintaining recognition. If it’s fundamentally not working, a fresh start might be better.

I’ll review your existing brand and give honest feedback about what makes sense.

“How long will this brand identity last?”

A well-designed brand should work for 10-15 years before needing a refresh. Trends come and go, but timeless design endures.

That said, companies evolve. You might expand services, target new audiences, or shift positioning. Your brand might need updates to reflect those changes even if the design itself isn’t outdated.

“Can I see examples of your work?”

Yes. Check out the portfolio page to see complete brand identity projects for various industries.

“What if I don’t like any of the initial logo concepts?”

Hasn’t happened yet, but we’d go back to the strategy phase and explore completely different directions. The discovery session usually prevents this – we establish clear direction before designing anything.

“Do I own everything after we’re done?”

Yes. You receive all source files and full usage rights. Use your brand identity however you need for your business.

“Can you design our website too?”

Absolutely. Most clients do both – brand identity first, then website design that follows the established visual system. See the Website Designer page for details.

“What if we need additional materials later?”

I provide ongoing support for clients who need new brochures, ads, signage, or other branded materials. Your brand style guide ensures everything stays consistent even years later.

Industries I Work With

I’ve created brand identities for businesses across many industries:

Professional Services: Law firms, accounting firms, consulting companies, real estate agencies, insurance agencies

Healthcare: Medical practices, dental offices, mental health providers, medical spas, wellness centers

Retail & Hospitality: Restaurants, boutiques, salons, coffee shops, bars, retail stores

Home Services: Contractors, landscapers, interior designers, architects, property management

Nonprofits: Community organizations, foundations, advocacy groups, educational programs

Every industry has different branding needs. Legal firms need to seem trustworthy and established. Restaurants need to showcase personality and appetite appeal. Retailers need to create desire and aspiration. I adapt the approach to fit your specific industry and audience.

Long-Term Partnership: When you need new materials months or years later, I’m still here. Not a freelance platform where designers come and go.
