We do not make logos
The mark is the last thing we draw and the least of what you are buying. Here is what the rest of it is.

The line at the top of this site says we do not make logos, we build the reason people choose you. That reads as a slogan. It is not. It is a description of where the work actually goes, and of what a founder is buying when they hire a studio rather than a freelancer with a drawing tablet.
A logo cannot carry an argument
A mark is a memory aid. It helps someone recognise you the second time. What it cannot do is tell a buyer why you are worth more than the company quoting forty per cent less, because a shape does not contain a reason. When a founder says their brand is not working, they almost never mean the mark is ugly. They mean that when a buyer compares them to three other options, nothing in the comparison makes the price obvious.
What we build instead
The work starts with the comparison you are actually losing. Who the buyer looks at beside you, what they say, and what the buyer concludes about price from the difference. That produces a position: the thing you are for, stated so it excludes somebody. Then the language, then the system that carries it, and only then the mark, because the mark has to be a compression of an argument that already exists.
Why this order matters to you and not just to us
Studios that draw first end up defending the drawing. Every revision becomes a taste conversation, because there is no argument to test the work against. When the position is settled first, the mark stops being a matter of opinion: it either compresses the argument or it does not, and both of us can see which.
What this means in practice
You get a logo. You also get the positioning it compresses, the language your team uses when we are gone, the type and colour rules that keep it consistent, and the files outright. The mark is the part you will show people. The rest is the part that changes what they will pay.
