Marks That Hold Up

Logos, brand identity, type and print work, drawn by hand first and finished as clean vector files that you own outright.

Every brief quoted. No templates.

About Syntheticist Studio

A logo gets printed on a card, stitched on a shirt, shrunk to an app icon and blown up on a sign. Most marks are designed for one of those places and fall apart in the rest. We think that's wrong.

We draw logos, brand identities, type and print work that hold up wherever they go. Every mark starts in one color, gets tested in positive and inverse, and ships as clean vector files you own outright. Whether you are naming something new or fixing an identity that has drifted, we make something that is yours alone. Send us a brief, and we will come back with a quote.

Discovery

Send us your brief and we will talk through your brand, who it serves and where the mark will live. We agree on a clear direction before we draw a single line.

Design & Refinement

We sketch, draw and refine the mark in one color first, then add color, type and the other pieces your brand needs. There are no templates and no stock icons, ever.

Delivery & Handoff

We hand over clean vector files for print, web and merch in every version you need, from full color to one color. The files are yours. The mark is yours.

#. 03

A mark has to work in one color, at any size and on anything. Each of these logos and type pieces was built to do exactly that, from first sketch to final file.

Why Syntheticist?

01 Reason

Drawn,
Not
Generated.

Every mark starts as a sketch and is drawn for your brand alone. We don't adapt templates or stock icons. We start from a blank page and the brief you give us.

02 Reason

One Color
First.

A mark that only works in color breaks the first time it is printed in one ink, stamped or cut from vinyl. Ours start in solid black, so color is a bonus and never a crutch.

03 Reason

Type With
Real
Character.

From clean sans to graffiti script and hand lettering, the type is matched to the brand you are building, so it is never just a font off a default list.

Figma. Illustrator. Hand Lettering.

04 Reason

Files You
Own
Outright.

You get clean vector files in every version you need, for print, web and merch. There is no license to renew, no lock-in, and the mark is yours in full once the last payment is made.

05 Reason

Quoted
to Fit
Your Brief.

Every project is quoted from your brief, so you pay for the work your brand needs and nothing it doesn't. Send us a brief and we will come back to you with a plan.

Start a Brief.

Questions? Answered.

Answers before we start.

Can you work from an existing brand, or do I need to start fresh?

Both. We can design a new identity from your brief, or refine a logo you already have so it holds up better across print, web and merch. Either way, the result is fully custom.

What do I get at the end?

Clean vector files of your logo in every version agreed in the brief, such as full color, one color and inverse, ready for print, web and merchandise. The files are yours to use however you like.

How is a project priced?

Every project is quoted from your brief. A single wordmark takes less work than a full identity with a symbol, type and print pieces, so we scope the work with you before we quote it.

How does the payment work?

We collect 50% upon signing as a non-refundable deposit to begin work. The other 50% is due before the final files are delivered, and you own the mark in full once it is paid.

How many revisions do I get?

We work with you the whole way, so we agree on a direction before the mark is refined. Revisions inside the agreed scope are included, and any extra rounds past it are billed on their own.

Do you also build websites?

Yes. We also design and build custom websites for one flat fee, delivered in 36 hours, and you can see everything that comes with one on the web design site.
