Design

A logo is a single element—the mark itself. A visual identity, or graphic profile, is the entire system surrounding it: the logo, colors, typography, additional elements, imagery, and possibly slogans and animations—everything that, taken together, makes you recognizable across different platforms. Most people who think they need a logo actually need a visual identity. We’ll help you figure out what’s the right level for you.

We agree on this in advance, and it varies depending on the scope of the project. For a brand identity process, we typically present several concepts; you choose one, and then we refine it through adjustments and testing before finalizing the brand guide. For smaller projects, there are fewer rounds. The number of rounds and what’s included are specified in the estimate, so you know the scope before we begin.

Both are possible. Sometimes a brand just needs an update—to function better digitally or be modernized without losing its distinctive character. Other times, it makes more sense to build something new from the ground up. We’ve done both—from carefully updating time-honored brands to creating entirely new identities—and we’ll recommend whatever works best for you. We’ll figure out together what’s right for you.

You can certainly start small. Many clients begin with a specific project, and then we build on that if desired. If you have an ongoing need—such as regular maintenance, content creation, or advertising—a retainer agreement can be both more cost-effective and more predictable, because we can then work systematically on what yields the best results over time. We’ll recommend whatever best suits your needs.

Less than many people think. Usually, all it takes is a conversation about what you want to achieve, and access to whatever profile, materials, or data you already have. We’ll figure out the rest together as we go. If anything is unclear, our first task is often to help you pinpoint exactly what you need.

Yes to everyone. We work with everyone from startups on a tight budget to large corporations and public sector organizations with extensive requirements. Our portfolio ranges from municipalities and government agencies to international companies and local businesses, and we have extensive experience with the requirements associated with public sector projects, such as universal design, plain language, and privacy. We tailor the solution to your needs and budget.

It depends entirely on the project. A simple campaign, a new website, and a multi-year framework agreement naturally fall into different price ranges, and we never quote a price until we understand exactly what you need. What we always do is provide you with a clear estimate before we get started, so you know what to expect. We can work on an hourly basis or for a fixed price, and for ongoing needs, we’re happy to set up an agreement with a fixed number of hours per month. Get in touch for a no-obligation chat, and we’ll figure out what works best for you.

Every project is different, so we tailor the process to the task at hand. But the basic structure remains the same: We start by getting to know you, the market, and the target audience. We then develop a concept or direction, which we present to you before moving into production. Throughout the process, we maintain close communication, show you our work, and make adjustments based on your feedback. Finally, we launch the project and follow up. For smaller assignments, this process is quick and informal; for larger projects, we work through several rounds of insights, sketches, and adjustments. You’ll know where we are in the process and what the next step is every step of the way.

It depends on the project. A simple project can be completed in a matter of days, while a new visual identity, a larger website, or a strategic process can take weeks or months, often involving several rounds of revisions along the way. Once we understand the scope, we’ll provide you with a realistic timeline with dates and milestones, so we both know what we’re working toward. We’d rather promise a little less than a little too much.

With us, you’ll work with a single dedicated account manager who is familiar with your project, so you won’t have to deal with a different person every time you reach out. Behind this contact person is a multidisciplinary team where consultants, designers, developers, and copywriters work together under one roof. We handle the coordination between these disciplines internally, so you can deal with a single point of contact.

What you pay for is yours. You own the finished products we create, whether it’s a logo, a visual identity, a website, or other materials. When we build websites, we also use solutions that don’t lock you into working with us. We use open source software whenever possible and provide you with training, so you’re free to further develop or migrate the solution later on. We want you to stay with us because you want to, not because you have to.

You can buy exactly what you need. Whether you just need a logo, a campaign, or help with advertising, we’ll take care of it. Just because we offer the full range of services under one roof doesn’t mean you have to use everything—it means you can easily expand as your needs grow, without having to bring in new vendors. We recommend what we think you actually need, and we’ll be honest if something isn’t worth the money for you.

Of course. We’ve worked with clients throughout Western Norway and beyond, many of them for many years. You’ll find a selection of projects under “Work” in the menu, and we’d be happy to show you work that’s relevant to your needs. We work with local, national, and international clients.

Because you get a personal touch, a full range of services, and people who know Western Norway. We’re a mid-sized agency that brings together strategy, design, web, content, and digital marketing under one roof, without departmental silos between disciplines. This ensures quick decision-making and a single point of contact for you. With us, you’ll meet experienced professionals who know their craft and do the work themselves. We’ve been based in Bergen 1945 and know the business community, cultural scene, and public sector in Western Norway well, while also working for clients far beyond the region.
