Branding and naming
Name, logo, visual system and the brand guidelines that keep it in one piece.
Design
From creating the brand to the printed catalogue and the website interface, in the same visual language from beginning to end.
Design that solves, not just decorates
The design we do in Aveiro always has a job: to make people understand, to make them tell you apart, and to make them act. A brand is there to be recognised from across the street, a catalogue to be read to the last page, an interface to be used without a manual.
The five services in this discipline share the same starting point: the identity. Once the logo, the colours and the typography are settled, the business card, the shopfront and the website start looking like they belong to the same company, even when they are made months apart.
When it makes sense to talk to us
Design work reaches us almost always for one of these reasons:
- every piece looks like it came from a different company;
- the brand is new and the name, the logo and the rules are missing;
- the company has changed and the identity is still saying what it used to be;
- all the information is there, but nothing guides the person reading it.
The five services in this discipline
Each service has its own page, with the process, the deliverables and the questions we get asked.
Graphic design
Pieces for print and for screen, from the poster to the shopfront and the social post.
Stationery
Business cards, letterheads, envelopes, email signatures and document templates.

The structure, the journey and the interface of websites, shops and applications, before anyone writes code.
Projects in this discipline
Resende Seixas, Noeirinha, Gelato e Limonata and Sorriso de Alecrim are brands created or rebuilt here. They are in the portfolio, often alongside the website development and the marketing that came after.

Common questions about design
The questions we hear most often before a design job starts.
Can I ask for a single piece, without a brand project?
You can, as long as there is an identity to respect. If there is not, we say so before starting: with no rules set down, every new piece drifts from the last one and the whole thing stops hanging together.
Do I get the source files?
You do. We hand over the working files and the ready-to-use versions, for screen and for print, so you can work with any supplier.
Do you handle printing too?
We see the production through with the printers and suppliers we work with, and we check the proofs before the run. Placing the order can stay with you or come through us.
How many visual routes do you present?
We present one main route, with the reasoning behind it, rather than loose options to pick from at random. From there we work in rounds of refinement, with the number of revisions set out in the proposal.
