Logo Design · Brand Identity · Croatia

Brand system. Not just a logo.

Logo design, brand books, and complete visual identity from Osijek, Croatia. Logos that work across all media — from product packaging to 32-pixel avatars. Identities built to last 10+ years, not just one launch.

/01 · Why a logo isn't enough

Looks great in Figma. Then breaks in the wild.

The biggest problem we see with brands that went through a designer before us — the logo was made as a standalone object. Pretty in presentation, on white background, in perfect conditions. Then it has to live in the real world.

First failure: You try to put it on a 32×32 pixel social avatar. Details disappear. It becomes a smudge. For a month you struggle to make anyone recognize the brand from their Instagram feed.

Second failure: Needs to be printed monochrome on a thermal printer for receipts. Gradient doesn't work. Thin lines vanish. Stamp looks like a printing error.

Third failure: Two weeks after launch the brand works with a new external designer. No brand book. Colors are "somewhere between yellow and orange." Next leaflet looks like a different company's.

Our approach: a logo isn't built as an image. It's built as a system. With all variations, application rules, and a document that protects how the brand looks when we're no longer in the picture.

/02 · Project types

Six things we do.

/01

Logo design (from scratch)

New brand with no existing visual history. Start from positioning and strategy, choose direction, arrive at a logo with reason for looking the way it does. 3-5 concepts in the first round.

/02

Rebrand of existing brand

Brand that's outgrown current look. Analysis of what to preserve (recognition), what to evolve. Transition strategy from old to new over 3-6 months, without losing customers.

/03

Brand refresh

Logo outdated but brand and positioning OK. Modernization without radical change — new font, cleaner version, digital optimization. 50-70% cheaper than full rebrand.

/04

Brand book and guidelines

Document that protects consistency when multiple designers work with the brand. Logo variations, colors, typography, application rules, visual tone, applications preview. 25-50 page PDF + working files.

/05

Packaging and physical applications

Product packaging, labels, business cards, signage, vehicles, uniforms. Brand translated to the 3D world with all printing and production constraints factored in from the start.

/06

Brand naming and positioning

Need a name for a new brand or sub-brand? Naming workshop, strategic analysis, domain and trademark availability. As a standalone project or part of a larger rebrand package.

/03 · Process

From brief to brand book.

01

Discovery & strategy

Brand conversation — what it is, what it wants to be, where it's positioned, who the audience is. Competitor and visual landscape analysis. Brand attribute definition. Duration: 1-2 weeks.

02

Concepting

3-5 different directions for the logo. Each with strategic reasoning for why it looks that way. Presented in real application (on packaging, social avatar, web, physical media) — not white background. Duration: 2 weeks.

03

Selection and finalization

You choose direction, we finalize it. 2-3 variations of chosen direction. Detail optimization (every pixel matters), preparation of all variants (horizontal, vertical, monochrome, mini icon). Duration: 1-2 weeks.

04

Brand system

Color palette with accessibility validation, typography system, iconography, photographic direction, applications. Brand book with all application rules. Duration: 2-4 weeks.

05

Handover and transition

All files in all formats (AI, EPS, SVG, PNG, JPG). Brand book PDF + Figma. Written copyright statement. Team training (1-2h). Migration plan if old brand exists. Duration: 1 week.

/04 · FAQ

Questions we get most.

How much does logo design cost in Croatia?

Logo vs visual identity — what's the difference?
Logo is one element. Visual identity is the entire system: logo variations, typography, colors, application rules, visual tone. Logo without identity is like a conductor without an orchestra.
