LOGO DESIGN & VISUAL IDENTITY
A clear visual system makes your company recognisable wherever it appears. The logo is only the beginning.
What a visual identity is, and what you get from us
A visual identity is the system that makes a company recognisable: logo, colours, typography, imagery and the rules that hold them together. The logo is the signature. The visual identity is everything else: how the brand looks on a pack, on a car, on Instagram or on a proposal sent to a client.
Many companies have a logo but no identity. Every piece of material looks different, and the brand looks smaller than it is. A well-built visual identity fixes that. Customers recognise you before they read your name.
At BroHouse, a complete visual identity includes:
- Logo design, with every version you need: horizontal, vertical, symbol, and versions for dark and light backgrounds.
- Colour palette, with exact codes for print and digital (Pantone, CMYK, RGB, HEX).
- Typography: primary and secondary typefaces, with a clear hierarchy for headlines and text.
- Graphic elements: patterns, shapes, illustrations or icons that make the brand recognisable even without the logo.
- Photography and illustration style: what kind of images the brand uses, and what it never uses.
- Real applications: stationery, social media, presentations, signage, uniforms or packaging, depending on the business.
- Brand guidelines: the rules of use, explained clearly, so anyone working with the brand can apply them.
- Final files, organised and ready for print and digital.
Logo design built on strategy. A good logo is not only beautiful. It is clear, memorable and works at any size, from an app icon to a building façade. That is why we do not start from trends, but from positioning: what makes you different, and what customers should feel when they see you. We look at the market, the competition and the real audience. We ask direct questions. We remove visual noise. Sometimes the answer is a symbol, sometimes a strong wordmark built only from the name, as with Blue. Every logo is tested in real contexts before handover: on packaging, on screen, in black and white, at small sizes. Only then do we turn it into a system.
An identity designed to scale. A good visual identity is not a set of files, but a set of rules that can grow. When the company launches a new product, opens a new location or enters a new market, the system adapts without being reinvented. The brand stays recognisable, even when the context changes.
We explain the difference between a logo and a visual identity in Logo vs visual identity. In short: a logo without a system cannot carry a brand for long.

Who we work with, timelines and costs
Who we work with. Start-ups that want to begin with the right foundation. Growing companies that have outgrown the logo made in a hurry ten years ago. And product brands, where the identity has to perform on the shelf, together with the packaging design. Examples from our portfolio: a dental clinic in Bucharest (Dentica), an early childhood development centre (Arcalis), a ride-hailing service (Blue) and a functional mushroom brand (Teriani).
Working with clients outside Romania. We build identities that have to work in several markets and languages, and we work in English, remotely or in Bucharest. The process, the deliverables and the brand guidelines are the same, wherever the client is based.
How long it takes. A complete visual identity project usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. The timeline depends on the number of applications and on how many decisions are taken together with your team. The process is led directly by the founders, with no unnecessary stages.
How much a visual identity costs. Prices vary widely, because very different work is sold under the same name. As a general market guide, in Romania in 2026:
- Freelancers and logo packages: from a few hundred euros up to around €1,500. Usually the logo and a few colours, without strategy or guidelines.
- Small studios: around €1,500–5,000. Logo, a basic visual system and short guidelines.
- Branding agencies with strategy, a complete system and brand guidelines: from around €8,000, depending on complexity.
The price depends on four things: whether the project starts from a brand strategy, how many applications are needed, whether naming is included, and which font licences are used. For an accurate estimate, write to us with a few lines about your project.

Frequently asked questions about logo design and visual identity
What is a company's visual identity?
A visual identity is the set of elements that make a company recognisable: logo, colours, typography, imagery and the rules of use. It keeps the brand consistent on the website, on packaging, on social media or on a proposal, whoever produces the material.
What is the difference between a logo and a visual identity?
The logo is the brand's signature. The visual identity is the complete system around it: colours, typefaces, graphic elements, image style and rules. A logo without an identity leads to inconsistent materials.
What exactly do I get at the end of the project?
The logo in every version, the colour palette with print and digital codes, typography, graphic elements, example applications and brand guidelines. All files are delivered organised, in print (vector) and digital formats.
How much does a visual identity cost?
As a general market guide, in Romania in 2026: freelancer logo packages start from a few hundred euros, small studios charge around €1,500–5,000, and agencies with strategy, a complete system and guidelines start from around €8,000. The price depends on strategy, the number of applications and font licences.
How long does it take to create a visual identity?
Usually 4 to 8 weeks for a complete project. A logo with a basic system can be ready sooner. An identity with strategy, naming and many applications can take longer.
Do you work with start-ups and small companies?
Yes. We work with start-ups, growing companies and national brands. For a small company, a visual identity done right from the start costs less than a rebrand a few years later.
I already have a logo. Can you build the identity around it?
Yes, if the logo has a solid base. Sometimes an adjustment and a new visual system around it are enough. Sometimes a rebrand is needed. We tell you honestly which case applies after a first review.
What are brand guidelines and why do I need them?
Brand guidelines are the document with the rules of use: how the logo is applied, which colours and typefaces are used, what is not allowed. Without them, every designer, printer or marketing agency interprets the brand in their own way.
Does the visual identity include packaging or the website?
The visual identity sets the rules. Packaging and the website apply them. We can design them together, so everything is consistent from the start.
Can I register my logo as a trademark?
Yes, and we recommend it. Before launch, we check that the name and logo do not conflict with existing trademarks. For filing and a legal opinion, we recommend working with a trademark attorney.
Agency or freelancer for a visual identity?
A freelancer can be the right choice for a simple logo. An agency brings strategy, a complete system, testing on real applications and continuity over time.
What awards has BroHouse won for visual identity?
Gold at Transform Awards Europe 2025 for the Blue identity (Best Visual Identity – Transport and Logistics), Silver at the Dieline Awards 2026 for Pizzeta and Spumos, and three Pentawards: Bronze 2020, Bronze 2022 and Silver 2026.
