FAQ

Frequently asked

How is this different from a logo design?

A logo is one deliverable. Brand Sprint produces an identity system — verbal and visual — that you can deploy across web, deck, email, and social without it feeling like the logo is the whole brand.

Can you work from an existing brand?

Yes. A Brand Sprint that refines/extends an existing identity is the same scope and price — we audit what works, formalize what’s missing, and deliver the system.

How many logo options do I see?

Three concept directions in week 1, refined to one before week 2 begins. We don’t ship 30 mediocre options — we ship 3 considered ones.

What about trademark / legal?

We do basic conflict checks (Google, USPTO TESS) but a final trademark search is the client’s legal counsel’s job. We can refer trademark attorneys.
