FAQs
Common Questions
What is the difference between a logo and a brand identity?
A logo is a single mark — an icon, wordmark, or combination — that identifies your business. A brand identity is the complete visual system built around that mark. It includes your colour palette (with precise colour codes for every application), your typographic system (the fonts, weights, and sizes used for headings, body copy, and labels), brand pattern elements that add texture and recognition to layouts, photography and imagery guidelines that describe the visual tone of your photography, and a comprehensive brand guidelines document that tells anyone working with your brand exactly how to apply every element correctly. Businesses with consistent brand identity across all touchpoints see meaningfully higher revenue and stronger customer retention than those with fragmented visuals.
How long does a brand identity project take?
A complete brand identity project at The Coast typically runs 4–6 weeks. The first week is dedicated to the strategy workshop and research phase. Weeks two and three are concept development, where we build out the full visual system and present it in context. Weeks four and five cover revision rounds — refining the chosen direction based on your structured feedback. The final week is file packaging, brand guidelines document production, and asset delivery. The timeline can extend if your business has multiple stakeholders whose input is needed at review stages, or compress slightly if you have a clear brief and fast feedback cycles.
Do I need a brand identity or just a logo?
If your business appears in more than one place — a website, social media, printed materials, packaging, or a physical location — you need a brand identity, not just a logo. A standalone logo without a supporting colour palette, typography system, and usage guidelines leads to inconsistency as different designers, platforms, and vendors make different creative decisions with your mark. That inconsistency erodes brand recognition over time. The brand identity package is the right choice for businesses serious about long-term growth. If you're pre-revenue and working on a very tight budget, a logo-only project can be a valid starting point — with the intent to build the full identity system later.
