Logo & Brand Identity Design for Teams That Need a Clear, Durable System
Your logo is the shortcut to your story. The system around it is what actually moves revenue, hiring, and fundraising. At BYBOWU, we design logos and full brand identity systems that are simple to use, hold up under growth, and plug cleanly into web, product, and print.
We are based in Phoenix, AZ and work with startups, SaaS teams, and established brands across the US and globally who want a partner that understands both design and digital products.
The problems a strong brand identity quietly fixes
Most teams that come to us already have a logo. The problem is everything around it.
- Inconsistent visuals across touchpoints that make you look less credible than you actually are.
- Logos that break in the real world, from dark mode and dashboards to social avatars and app icons.
- Design-by-request chaos where every deck, landing page, and campaign is a one-off negotiation.
- Category sameness where you look like a generic template, not a specific company with a point of view.
- Scaling pains as new hires and vendors make their own design decisions and the brand drifts.
A clear, well-documented identity reduces friction everywhere. Marketing assets spin up faster, product UI feels coherent, and buyers recognize you before they read a single headline.
How we design your logo and identity system
This is a focused, collaborative process. You get senior attention, clear checkpoints, and artifacts you can actually use.
- Discovery and alignment
We dig into your product, audiences, competitors, and constraints. We align on primary use cases: fundraise deck, SaaS dashboard, packaging, recruitment, or all of the above.
- Creative direction
We build moodboards and written directions that show a realistic range of styles: restrained and minimal, bold and expressive, or somewhere in between. You react, we refine, and we land on a direction together.
- Logo concept development
We explore several strong logo routes in vector. Each option is tested at small sizes, in one color, in light and dark mode, and in a few real contexts so you can see how it behaves, not just how it looks in a presentation.
- System design
Once a direction is chosen, we build the system around it: color, typography, spacing, iconography, and example layouts for web, product UI, decks, and social.
- Specs, accessibility, and production details
We finalize color values (HEX, RGB, CMYK, Pantone if needed), font specs, and spacing rules. We validate key color combinations for contrast so your UI and marketing stay readable.
- Guidelines and handoff
You receive a practical brand guide with do's and don'ts, plus master vectors and ready-to-use exports for your team and vendors.
- Optional rollout support
If you want help shipping, we can support launch assets like a refreshed website, updated product UI, social kits, and pitch decks so the new identity goes live smoothly.
What we actually design: logo styles and full identity systems
There is no single correct logo style. We recommend what fits your name, category, and main channels.
- Wordmarks for short, distinctive names where typography carries the brand.
- Lettermarks and symbols for long names that need a compact mark for avatars, favicons, and app icons.
- Combination marks that pair a wordmark with an icon so you can use them together or separately.
- Badges and emblems for brands that lean on heritage, membership, or community.
- Responsive logo systems with variants tuned for tiny, medium, and large surfaces.
Beyond the core logo, we design a visual language that lets your team ship consistent work without starting from scratch every time.
- Color system with roles for primary, secondary, accents, and UI states, plus guidance for light and dark themes.
- Typography system with headline, body, and UI fonts, including usage rules and licensing suggestions.
- Iconography and illustration direction so additional visuals stay stylistically on-brand.
- Imagery guidelines that cover photography framing, tone, and simple treatments your team can follow.
What you can order
- Logo Essentials Sprint — A focused engagement to create a primary logo, simple lockups, color palette, and a 2–3 page mini guide. Good for early-stage launches and MVPs that need to look credible fast.
- Full Brand Identity System — Complete logo suite, color and type system, starter icon set, imagery direction, and a practical brand book. Ideal for SaaS, ecommerce, and B2B teams building for the next few years, not the next few months.
- Rebrand & Transition Plan — Audit of your current brand, stakeholder workshops, refreshed identity, and a phased rollout plan across web, product, and print so the change is structured, not chaotic.
- Brand + Website/UI Bundle — Identity work paired with a new marketing site or product UI. Our designers and engineers collaborate so the system lands correctly in code from day one. Often combined with our web development or UI/UX design services.
- Brand Refresh & Tightening — For teams with equity in the current logo that need cleaner geometry, better legibility, updated color, and usable guidelines without a full tear-down.
What you receive and how your team will use it
Every project is scoped to your stage and channels, but most brand identity engagements include:
- Logo suite with primary, horizontal, vertical, and icon-only versions, in full color and monochrome.
- File formats including AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, and PNG exports optimized for print and digital use.
- Color specs with HEX, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone values where relevant, plus simple accessibility notes.
- Typography specs with font families, weights, pairings, and usage rules for marketing and product.
- Basic icon set or grid and rules so future icons can be produced consistently.
- Brand guidelines as a PDF and, if requested, a shareable online version with examples, spacing, and misuse cases.
- Optional collateral like a social media kit, pitch deck template, stationery, and email signatures for a cleaner rollout.

Proof it works in the real world
Marketplace brand that feels trustworthy on day one
For a modern clothing marketplace, we helped shape a bold yet simple identity that stayed recognizable from product cards to social ads. The result was a cohesive look across the marketplace UI and campaigns that supported seller and buyer trust.
Housing platform with a friendlier, clearer face
A digital platform for finding housemates needed to look safe and approachable. We created a clean logo, soft color system, and straightforward UI-ready typography that translated smoothly into their web and mobile apps.
B2B brand that moved beyond generic corporate blue
For a B2B services company, we replaced a dated logo and color palette with a sharper, more flexible system. Sales decks, the website, and presentations finally felt like they came from the same company and supported more confident outreach.
You can see selected identity and UI work in our portfolio, or ask us for examples that are closer to your space.
Why choose BYBOWU for logo & brand identity design
- Built for digital products, not just print — Most of your touchpoints are screens, not business cards. We design identities that behave well inside websites, SaaS dashboards, and mobile apps, then extend cleanly to print.
- Design and engineering under one roof — Because we also build web apps and mobile apps, we know what will break in implementation and we avoid it early.
- Senior attention and clear communication — You work with people who understand your business model, not just the moodboard. Expect direct feedback, honest tradeoffs, and transparent timelines.
- Systems that scale with your team — We care about what happens after launch. Guidelines, templates, and simple rules mean new hires and vendors can produce on-brand work without hand-holding.
Questions founders usually ask
What kind of budget should we plan for?
Logo-only sprints usually sit at the lower end of our design pricing, while full identity systems with guidelines and collateral are a larger investment. If you share your stage, team size, and main channels, we can typically give a realistic range within the first call. For ballpark numbers, start with the ranges on our pricing page.
How long does a typical project take?
Most logo essentials projects take about 2 to 3 weeks from kickoff to delivery. Full identity systems are usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly your team can review work. If you have a hard deadline, we plan milestones around it and are honest about what fits.
Can you evolve our current logo instead of starting over?
Yes, if you have equity in your current logo we often recommend a refresh instead of a full rebrand. That might mean tightening geometry, improving small-size performance, updating color, and building the missing system around it so everything feels intentional.
Will this create extra work for our developers or marketers?
Our goal is the opposite. We document colors, typography, and usage in a way that is easy to plug into design systems and code. For web and product teams, we can align this work with your existing design tokens or help define a first version if you do not have one.
Do you also help with messaging, not just visuals?
We can translate your positioning into a clear visual story and support elements like taglines, tone guidance, and top-level messaging for key pages or decks. For deeper content or ongoing campaigns, we pair this with our SEO copywriting or advertising services when needed.
How do we get started?
Send us a short note about your company, link to your current site or product, and your top 2 or 3 goals for this work. We will respond with clarifying questions and a suggested approach, often within one business day.
Ready to give your brand a clear, usable identity?
If your logo and visuals are holding the rest of your product or marketing back, we can help you fix that in a structured way.
