Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get to be involved in the project?
We love having the client involved, we run what we call an “open-conversation studio” where you can feel completely comfortable expressing your opinion and vice-versa. The last thing we want is to give you one single idea and take your money and never see you again! We love building up our clients and their business... we develop a close relationship with you, because if your business succeeds we are succeeding. Our phases of the process are heavily reliant on your providing feedback and vice versa to ensure we are completing this project in a timely manner.
What makes a good client a great client?
Trust. We know starting a graphic design project can be scary, especially if you have been burned before. We just want them to know that we truly have their best interests at heart and do not intend on making things for our portfolio, but to truly speak to their audience and build them up.
What is your branding process like?
Branding is such a beautiful thing, it is essentially clothing your business. Our branding project starts with a discovery period, where we get to know you, your business, your mission, and what makes you unique. Once we narrow all that down and you answer our branding questionnaire we develop a creative brief and a loose timeline that we both approve before moving forward.
From there we do a ton of research, what are people in LA doing, what are people like you in NYC doing, what is Tokyo coming up with? Who is your competition? What makes you different from them? Who is your target audience? We answer all these questions in our research phase.
Once we have that completed we develop 2-3 initial concepts to match our creative brief. Each of these ideas is concept-based and has meaning and feeling behind them.
From here we move forward with one idea to finalize colors, secondary, and tertiary logo marks, as well as building out collateral pieces.
What if I don’t like the results?
This is the biggest scare of taking on such a massive project that is a really big deal to your company. Here is the good news, we have never gotten to the end of a branding project and hear the words “I hate this.” Our process is so thorough and you are so involved that we are able to catch hiccups before we do all the work. This is why having that “open-conversation studio” concept is so important to Nuevo Studio. We never want to give you something you hate or dislike, we want to give you something that works for you and your clients which is why the discovery phase and creative brief are so important.
Our feelings do not get hurt, this is business and we get it. So expressing concerns or opinions earlier on in the branding process is better for both of us to ensure we are both on the same path!
