Here’s a slideshow of some of our brand designs.

Our promise to you

Start with Design Kompany to discover a unique and compelling essence for your brand identity design. You’ll notice each of these designs is distinct: that’s because we’re not imprinting our style, but drawing out the essence of each client through our work.

Four of our clients vouch for DK’s savvy in our video, Say Hello to DK.

What we do

We create:

  • compelling and unique brand messages
  • brand identity designs (logotype, accompanying motifs, and color scheme)
  • business stationery

Our interview process is thorough and rigorous, and we challenge you to find the very best angle to position yourself in a crowded market. Most importantly, we’ll find the passion that fuels a great brand.

Voice to your vision

DK’s strength is finding and giving voice to your brand’s core identity.

DK’s process is about delving into great conversation. This is often the highlight for many of our clients, because reflective questioning makes people really think through what it is they want the world to see and understand about them. We’ve been called “brand psychiatrists,” even!

We really believe that without a clear understanding of self, it won’t matter how snazzy the design is that you buy. Some people come to us after working with someone else, maybe in a less rigorous process where the end result just didn’t do it for them after all. Hard-earned money down the drain.

The final design has to be something you feel great about. If your passion doesn’t come across when you pass out your business cards and start talking about your work, for example, no one will tune in.

That’s why we spend so much time up front getting to know you and what you care most about, and more importantly, why customers you want to work with wil l care.

Only once we’ve whittled your brand’s main idea down to three succinct sentences do we put pencil to paper, and later, pixel to screen. It’s a really fun process that so many people have enjoyed, and we’re learning along the way every time, too. We read, we study, we engage. The whole process is playful, intelligent, and revelatory for our clients. For us, it’s the retrieving of the exactly perfect brand essence that is the challenge and reward.

It’s no wonder we build and value long-term relationships as a major part of working with you.
