service /ˈsɜː·vɪs/ · n. — strategy you can hold
Start with strategy. The brand follows.
Every project here begins the same way: we work out what your brand means before anything gets designed. This is brand strategy for founders — not a deck you file, a decision you can act on. The three rungs below differ in how deep that thinking goes, and how much of it you keep.
Brand Strategy & Identity
Every brand here starts with strategy — who you are, who it's for, why you'll be remembered — and ends with an identity built to prove it: naming, logo suite, color, type, voice, and the illustrations that make it yours.

The identity, taken to its digital home — designed and built as one piece, with the motion and detail this very site runs on. From $3,000, scoped to what the site has to do — no two builds are the same.

Identity Design
Design built on strategy we develop for you internally — you get the identity, sharp and complete: logo suite, color, type, and core applications. Best when you need to look right, fast.
Book a clarity call →Strategy + Identity

The 6 Nouns — our method
Every project runs through the same six stages, in the same order. It's the reason nothing here begins with design, and the reason you never get three options to choose between.
Our prices are public. The method is worth a conversation — we walk you through all six stages on the call, mapped to your brand rather than explained in the abstract. Thirty minutes, free, no pitch.

How much does brand identity design cost at Noun?
Identity design is $800 flat. Strategy + identity starts at $1,800, and the full 6-Noun Process starts at $2,400. Prices are in USD and public.
Why is there a tier without a strategy document?
Every design we make is built on strategy — at the first rung we develop it internally and you buy the outcome, not the paperwork. If you want the thinking in writing, that's the second rung.
How long does each tier take?
Identity Design typically runs 1–2 weeks, Strategy + Identity 2–4 weeks, and the 6-Noun Process 4–8 weeks depending on scope agreed at the brief.
What if I'm not sure which rung fits?
That's what the free clarity call is for — thirty minutes, and if it's not a fit we'll say so on the call.
