What it is

What is brand refresh & rebranding?

A brand refresh updates your existing brand without starting from scratch — modernising the logo, tightening the typography, evolving the colour palette, and rebuilding the system while keeping the equity you've built. A full rebrand is a clean-slate rebuild, usually triggered by a pivot, merger, or significant repositioning. Most businesses need a refresh, not a full rebrand — but an experienced designer can tell you which fits your situation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Most businesses need a refresh, not a full rebrand. Refreshes work when your brand equity is valuable but the visuals are dated. Full rebrands are for major pivots — you're entering a new market, merging with another business, or your old brand is actively working against you. If you're unsure, start with a brand audit — our designers offer this as the first phase of any refresh project.
Brand refresh pricing ranges from $2,000 for a light logo and colour tidy-up to $20,000+ for a full rebrand with strategy work. Most standard refreshes fall in the $4,000 to $8,000 range — that covers updated logo, refined palette, new typography, and an updated guidelines document. Full rebrands typically start at $8,000.
Brand refreshes take 4 to 10 weeks typically. Light refreshes (logo tidy, colour update) can be done in 3-4 weeks. Full refreshes with new guidelines take 6-8 weeks. Full rebrands with strategy work take 8-12 weeks or more. The designer you're matched with will give you a specific timeline in their quote.
A properly executed refresh shouldn't lose you any recognition — the whole point is to modernise while keeping what works. Good refreshes evolve the brand so gradually that existing customers barely notice but new prospects see something current. Full rebrands do risk recognition loss, which is why they're only recommended when the old brand is genuinely holding you back.
No. Most refreshes come with a transition plan that lets you roll out updates gradually — starting with digital (website, social) then physical (signage, vehicles, uniforms) over 3-6 months. This spreads the cost and lets you replace things as they wear out. Your designer will map out a practical transition approach.
