Sorry, if you came here expecting some solid information about design agency costs then you have come to the wrong place!
If you would like a design project costing the give us a call, this post was concerned with the highly serious matter of eye-wateringly (yes, that’s a word) expensive branding projects…and some surprisingly cheap ones too.
The common theme to the work in this blog is that none of it was done by this design agency, so feel free to laugh, cry and criticise all you like.
To be fair of course, we dont know the exact details of each design project, or how far reaching they were. For example, we guess Nike was just the brand logo, whereas some others will have been a full suite of materials to cover everything that organisation had a need for.
OK then, here we go….in no particular order
