Branding & Design
Look Like the Business You Want to Be
Logos, brand guides, flyers, business cards, signage. Built to match your website. Made to feel like the business you’ve always wanted to run.
The Problem
Sloppy Branding Tells Customers You’re Sloppy at Everything
Inconsistent Branding
Your logo on the site looks different from your business cards. The print flyer clashes with the social post. Customers register the chaos as a business that doesn’t have its act together.
Generic, DIY Logos
A logo that screams Canva template doesn’t tell anyone you take your business seriously. It tells them you spent 20 minutes on it.
DIY Design Eats Hours
Hours every week in Canva, Photoshop, or whatever. Time you’d rather spend cutting hair, walking dogs, or fixing HVAC.
Original Design Work
Designed by Hand. Not with Clip Art.
Every logo, brand guide, and printed asset is designed in-house by a real designer who understands your business. No repurposed templates. Just thoughtful design that makes your business look like it has its act together.

Common Questions About Branding & Design
Who owns the rights to the design work?
You do. Once we deliver final files, the logo, brand guide, and any custom designs are yours forever. We deliver PNG files for web and editable vectorized PDFs for print. Use them anywhere.
How many design drafts do I get?
3 revisions per design. That goes for logos, brand guides, promo items, and promo materials. Most projects don’t even need all three. Extras can be added on request if you want to keep iterating.
Do you handle the printing?
No, we don’t handle production. All design work is delivered print-ready in standard formats your printer can use (vector PDF for logos and apparel designs, high-res flat PDF for cards, flyers, and signage). Printers typically handle their own bleeds, mockups, and any specialized file prep on their end. We’ll recommend a few printers we’ve worked with so you can order direct and keep the savings.
What’s the difference between a logo and a brand identity guide?
New Logo Design is just the logo itself. Brand Identity Guide is a 1-page PDF that documents your color palette, fonts, and logo usage rules so anyone you hire (printer, social media manager, future designer) stays on-brand. Get just a logo, just a guide (if you already have a logo), or both. Most clients eventually want both, but you can start with either.
Do I get the original source files?
Yes. You receive editable vectorized PDFs (and AI source files on request) for any logo or design work we do for you. They’re yours to keep, use anywhere, hand off to other vendors, or modify in the future. No vendor lock-in.
What if I open a new location?
The brand guide stays the same and applies to the new location. Location-specific signage, cards, or print runs are quoted as Promo Materials or Custom Design depending on scope.
Can I do branding without a website with you?
Yes, branding services are standalone. You don’t need a TMG website. That said, the work integrates seamlessly if you also have us build the site.
