Marks that work at 16px and on a van

Logo design that survives icon, print and a bad photocopier

Design Dev designs logos for UK companies as part of identity: strategy, routes, refinement, files. We test small, reverse, and one-colour. A mark that only works in full colour on a wide homepage is not finished.We will not crowdsource your identity or “make it pop” without a brief. If you need a full system, see Brand Identity. A logo-only job stays logo-only unless you expand it.
01

Strategy before sketches

Who it is for, where it lives, what it must not look like. Usage map first.
Strategy before sketches
02

Routes with rationale

A few distinct directions, argued — not 40 near-identical wordmarks.
Routes with rationale
03

Production files

SVG, print, clear space, don’ts. File hygiene so Monday actually works.

04

Icon & favicon

The real-world test. If it fails at 16px, it fails.
Icon & favicon

Our logo process — from brief to a usable mark

01

Brief & territory

Category, competitors, usage. Name the hard uses — app icon, van, nav bar.

02

Routes

Few, distinct, argued. Quality of difference — not a catalogue of noise.

03

Refinement

Draw, space, test small. One-colour and reverse. Founder taste vs market — we will argue.

04

Applications

Web, social, print samples. The sizes that actually hurt.

05

Handover

Files and rules. You own them on payment, as contracted.

A logo is a system of drawings, not a vibe

A logo is a system of drawings, not a vibe

If it fails as a favicon or in one colour, it fails. We design for reproduction. Design Dev will not crowdsource your identity or “make it pop” without a brief.As a London logo design agency we map usage first, keep the drawing original enough for counsel to clear, and hand over files you can actually use on Monday.

  • Usage map first
  • Legible at small sizes
  • One-colour and reverse
  • Clear space
  • Wordmark vs icon logic
  • File hygiene (SVG/print)
  • Trademark-minded originality
  • Application mockups

Complete logo capabilities

Strategy, routes, files — a mark you can use on Monday, under one London identity team.

01

New Marks

Startups and first-time brands. Strategy before sketches.

02

Wordmarks

Type-led identities when the name is the asset.

03

Pictorial / Abstract

When a symbol earns it — not clipart by default.

04

Icon Systems

App, social and favicon as the stress test.

05

Refinement of Existing

Often the right job. Not every company needs a new symbol.

06

File Packages

SVG, print, reverse, one-colour. Hygiene included.

07

Basic Lockups

With tagline if needed. Clear space and don’ts.

08

Favicon / App Icon

If it fails at 16px, we keep drawing.

09

Rebrand Marks

When the old drawing cannot survive the next decade.

10

Light Guidelines

Even a “simple” mark gets rules. Full system is Brand Identity.

11

Web Application

We can put it on the site. See Web Design.

12

Stationery Lockups

Letter, card, email — the first places it will be abused.
