99d Studio

99d Studio is the branding arm offered through the 99designs marketplace, delivered by the independent agency Circlemakers Studio. Each client gets a dedicated brand strategist who writes the brief, draws on designers from the 99designs community and manages every deliverable through to handover.

What 99d Studio offers

• Logo and brand pack — several logo concepts developed into a full identity with guidelines.
• Visual identity — colour story, fonts, visual elements and a brand guide for an existing logo.
• Brand strategy and messaging — a workshop on positioning and a messaging structure built on the StoryBrand framework.
• Naming — discovery on naming strategy, ending in a shortlist of 10 workable names for a business or product.
• Decks and websites — investor and sales decks, and B2B websites built in Squarespace, Wix or WordPress.
• Print and packaging — packaging, brochures and event materials.

Who it works with

Businesses, from new ventures to established B2B firms, that want strategy-led branding rather than a single design contest. The 99designs marketplace also runs contests for items such as book covers.
