BRAND SPRINT · 14 DAYS
A brand system in 14 days, not a logo in three months
A brand sprint is a fixed two-week engagement that produces a complete visual identity: logo, typography, colour, and the rules for using them. Elevate Studio's starts at $3,000 and runs 14 days. Price moves with scope — sub-brands, collateral and motion add to it; a single-product identity sits at the floor.
Booking from September 2026. One or two engagements at a time. You get a start date on the first call, not a maybe.
WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG
Most startups do not have a brand problem. They have a system problem.
You have a logo. Someone made it — a founder in Figma at midnight, a Fiverr freelancer, or a generator. It works on the website. Then you need a pitch deck, and nobody knows which grey to use. Then a conference banner, and the logo is the wrong shape for it. Then a second product, and it gets its own look because there is no rule for what a second product should look like.
THE ACTUAL COST
Nothing here is a design emergency. It is a slow tax. Every asset takes longer than it should, every touchpoint looks slightly different from the last, and the company reads as smaller and newer than it is. Investors and enterprise buyers both notice the same thing, and neither will tell you.
WHAT YOU GET
A system, and the rules that make it usable without us.
Everything ships as source files you own. No retainer required to use your own brand.
THE 14 DAYS
Fixed schedule. You always know what happens next.
You see work on day six, not day sixty. Progress updates land at least every two days, and there is no account manager between you and the person designing.
WHAT IT COSTS
The number is on the page. So is what pushes it up.
Most brand sprints land between $3,000 and $5,000. We publish the floor because every other studio makes you sit through a discovery call to hear a number, and that wastes your time and ours.
DO NOT BUY THIS IF
If you need ongoing design output every week, a subscription studio fits better than a sprint. If you are pre-product and still changing what you sell monthly, spend the money on finding out what you sell first. If you want fifty logo options to choose from, a marketplace will make you happier than we will.
WHO BUYS THIS
Teams whose product is ahead of how it looks.
AI startups between pre-seed and Series A, usually two to fifteen people, technical founders, no designer in house. Growing tech companies whose brand was made when they were four people and is now being used by forty. In both cases the work already justifies the presentation, and the presentation has not caught up.
QUESTIONS
How much does a brand sprint cost?
Ours starts at $3,000 for a single-product identity and typically lands between $3,000 and $5,000. What moves it: the number of sub-brands, whether you need collateral or pitch templates, and whether motion is in scope. You get the number before you commit, not after a discovery phase.
What is the difference between a brand sprint and a design sprint?
A design sprint is Jake Knapp's five-day product validation workshop — it tests a product idea. A brand sprint produces an identity system: logo, type, colour, and the rules. Different outputs, often confused because the names rhyme.
Is 14 days actually enough?
It is when the scope is fixed and one senior designer does the work. Most of a three-month timeline is coordination, handoffs and waiting for feedback, not design. We compress the waiting, not the thinking.
What happens if we need changes after the sprint?
You own the files and the system. Small adjustments are usually self-serve because the rules are documented. Anything larger becomes a new sprint or an add-on, quoted up front. Scope stays fixed on purpose.
Do you work with companies outside the US?
Most of our work is with teams in the US, UK and Europe, with clients across the GCC. We run remote and asynchronous, so timezone is not the constraint it used to be.
We would rather you got a straight answer than a sales page. These open with the question already written.
