A badge is not a brand

40+ five star reviews

Sport is one of the few places where a logo ends up on a shirt, a wall, a scoreboard and a phone screen in the same week. We build identities that hold up in all of them, with a system simple enough that whoever posts on a Saturday morning can stay on brand.

• Who we work with

Who we brand

A new padel club and a hundred-year-old golf club need different things from an identity. The process is the same, the answer is not.

Replace with client image

Padel clubs

New clubs that need to look established on day one.

Golf clubs

Heritage kept, everything around it brought up to date.

Sports clubs

A badge that works on kit, signage and social.

Gyms and studios

An identity that holds across classes, kit and the timetable.

Academies

A look that convinces parents as well as players.

Sports brands

Packaging, product and storefront pulled into one system.

Problems we fix

If any of these sound like your brand, this is what sports branding should be solving.

Book a Call

A different brand every post

Three fonts, four blues, and nothing that matches the shirt.

A logo that breaks

Fine on a laptop, unreadable on a shirt or a sign.

Nobody can use it

The brand lives in one person’s head and one old file.

Looks smaller than you are

A serious club presenting like a side project.

What every brand project includes

One scope, built so the identity survives contact with a real club.

  • Discovery with the people who run the club, not a questionnaire
  • Primary badge plus the variations sport actually needs
  • Kit, signage and screen versions tested at real sizes
  • A colour system that works on dark, light and pitch-side
  • Type choices that hold up in a caption and on a scoreboard
  • Templates your team can post from without breaking it
  • Logo files in every format you will ever be asked for
  • A short, usable brand guide, not a fifty-page PDF
  • Rollout plan across site, social, kit and signage
  • Handover session so the team can run with it

How we work

Understand the club first, then design. You see the direction before anything is finished.

01

Discovery

We learn the club, the members, the history and where it is heading, then agree what the identity has to do.

02

Design the identity

Routes developed and shown in context on kit, signage and screen, then refined to one.

03

Roll it out

Files, templates and a short guide, handed over with a session so the team can use it.

Questions our clients ask

The things clubs and brands ask on the first call.

Four to eight weeks for most clubs. Discovery and feedback set the pace more than the design does.

No. Plenty of projects are about keeping the badge and fixing everything around it.

Yes. Every file and every format is yours, handed over at the end.

We design them and work with your supplier on artwork. We do not print or install.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper together because the design work carries across.

We present with reasons, in context, so the decision is about what works rather than what one person likes.
