Design & Branding
Brands that work, not just look good.
A strong brand is more than just an aesthetic, it’s a tool for clarity. It tells your audience who you are, what you stand for, and why it matters. At Reid Design, I create thoughtful brand systems that translate seamlessly from a business card to a complex digital platform.
Brand Identity & evolution
Whether you are launching a new venture or refining a legacy, I develop distinctive visual identities that resonate. I focus on creating a foundation that supports your growth across every medium.
-
Core Identity: Logo design, typography, and custom color systems.
-
Brand Evolution: Modernising existing brands while preserving their DNA.
-
System Guidelines: Clear documentation to ensure consistency as you scale.
Messaging & strategic clarity
Design is only as effective as the strategy behind it. My process goes beyond the visuals to help you define your brand’s "voice."
-
Positioning: Clarifying your unique value and market perception.
-
Tone of Voice: Establishing a personality that feels authentic to your team.
-
Cohesive Messaging: Ensuring your brand "sounds" the same everywhere it appears.
Digital-first Design Systems
Many brands look great on paper but break down when they hit a website or app. Because I work across design and development, I build Design Systems—sets of reusable components that ensure your brand remains recognisable across:
-
High-performance websites and digital products.
-
Investor decks and internal documents.
-
Social media and marketing collateral.
A collaborative, practical process
I don't design in a vacuum. We work together to explore directions and refine ideas until the identity feels both distinctive and highly practical. The result isn't just a logo—it’s a versatile toolkit designed to work in the real world, built by someone who understands the technical constraints of modern platforms.
What working together looks like
I don't design in isolation. The process is collaborative — we explore directions together, talk through what's working and what isn't, and refine until the identity feels genuinely yours. Most clients say it's more straightforward than they expected.
