Identity Design

A clear identity is the system that shapes your business.

Identity design is the way your business looks, feels, and communicates. It’s the combination of your logo, colors, typography, imagery, and voice, all working together to make your business recognizable, memorable, and consistent.

This meeting will be TOMORROW March 3rd at 8am at Monmouth City Hall. This is a great opportunity to learn all about the MBA, get involved with upcoming events and network with other local businesses. We look forward to seeing you there! And text from the MBA website saying: Everyone knows shopping locally is a good way to support small businesses, but did you know that it goes beyond just your one purchase? Locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, who then in turn purchase from another locally owned business, and so on. One purchase by you can make a difference to many businesses. Local business owners also donate to local charities than non-local owners and when we all work together we create that unique character that Monmouth provides.

Our Process

Your vision guides everything we do. Through a clear, thoughtful process, we work with you to shape a brand identity that represents who you are and how you want to be seen.

Discovery

You’ll begin by completing a detailed questionnaire that helps us understand your business, goals, and vision. From there, we schedule an initial discovery meeting to dive deeper and get to know you and your brand more personally.

Planning & Design

Next, we take what we’ve learned and create a few custom logo options for your brand. We then meet to review them and choose the direction that feels right. Once your logo is finalized, we use it as the foundation to build the rest of your brand.

Review & Finish

In the final stage, you’ll see all your brand elements come together, including your logo and supporting visuals. We make the agreed-upon edits and prepare a complete brand package with all files and a style guide.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer motion graphic services?

Yes, if you want an animated logo or want to enhance a video with an animated intro, we can do that! We can also do video editing, so if you have some footage, we can make it into a cohesive story.

Where can I find a complete list of services you offer?

The short answer is you can’t; we have helped businesses with many different types of projects that fall under the headings of Website, Identity, and Graphic Design.

If you are interested in working with us but are unsure if we can help, please don’t hesitate to email admin@sparkletdesigns.com with your project details. If we can’t help you, we can refer you to someone who can!

We also love partnering with other local businesses and have successfully orchestrated multi-platform projects encompassing services we don’t offer, including photography, videography, social media, and printing services. All that to say, we love working with others to ensure our clients have the highest quality services provided by people who specialize in their own niche areas.

What does your process look like?

When starting a new project, our first step is to have the prospective client fill out a questionnaire that tells us a little about your business and the project you would like done.

If you have a deadline and budget for the project, we also discuss that and compare it against what you are hoping to accomplish. We may send your organization an estimate to confirm the budget and project scope during this process.

Once that is agreed upon, we send you a contract to sign, and you pay a non-refundable deposit before we get started on the design.

After that, we will continue working together to meet the goals outlined in the contract, ultimately leaving you with another tool to help your business grow

Can I see examples of your work?

Of course! Feel free to head over to our portfolio to see examples of our work. 

Are you taking new clients right now?

Yes, we are taking new clients right now.

If you are in the process of deciding whether to begin a project right now, please reach out sooner rather than later because we only take on a limited number of clients at a time.
