Brand Identity
starting with strategy, we will create a recognizable brand identity that you are proud to share and attracts your ideal customers
you've worked hard to build your successful business, but...
- you cringe when you hand someone your business card
- you struggle to narrow down and stick to one look
- you are tired of messing around on Canva for hours
- you crave a cohesive direction for your brand

- you don't feel connected to your current messaging
Here at Olive Fox Design we will work with you to create an intentional brand strategy and ultimately brand identity that will reflect you perfectly! We achieve this through a deliberate and thoughtful process. I put back on my auditor hat and do my research to get to know your business and target audience in depth. From there I combine the knowledge of your company with my design skills to create design elements that enhance your brand’s visual identity.
By the end of our process you’ll have a gorgeous and cohesive brand identity that thoughtfully represents your small business!
imagine if...
- you had clarity with your brand direction and what it should communicate
- you have the confidence in your brand because it reflects your unique brand story perfectly
- you had the assets you need to quickly create cohesive materials
- you have a consistent message that attracts ideal clients to your business

- you had a brand that was full of meaning that grows with your business

hello there!
Meet your Designer
Welcome! I’m Tara the creative and milspouse behind Olive Fox Design. I’m a strategy driven designer who loves to obsess over the details. I help military entrepreneurs discover and fall in love with their unique visual branding.
My appreciation for the little things is present in everything from my locally roasted morning coffee to my day job as an accountant. A CPA that does design?! Yes! It’s not as far of a gap as you would think…
An auditor goes into a business, learns everything they can in a short period of time and makes sure the information is translating appropriately into a financial report. As strategy driven designer, I do the same thing- except I translate what I’ve learned into stunning visuals that suit your business perfectly.
questions
faq + A
We will design a custom logo that has you written all over it and that attracts your target audience.
To make sure your logo can adapt to all uses, we will also provide an alternative, yet still coordinating variation on your logo. Depending on your needs this could be an alternative layout, darker/lighter color variation, or inclusive/exclusive of taglines.
Submarks are a simplified version of your logo. These are perfect to use as a watermark or having a custom stamp made. You can also use these on multiple page projects to incorporate your branding throughout without use of your full logo.
I totally understand the struggle, but due to the nature of my services that’s not what I currently offer. We believe well researched full service branding is an experience that will be transformative for your business. Our forte is in creating the entire brand story, and it’s really what we love to do! Feel free to reach out to us for recommendations.
Our clients do typically choose us for our general aesthetic and work we’ve previously done but I’m able to design in all kinds of styles. The most important thing is that we want want to make sure your business has the look and feel that tells your brand story whether that’s flirty and feminine or bright and bold. While I do have favorite type faces and colors, I don’t impose what’s trendy or my favorites onto your brand if it doesn’t fit.
After we have developed your brand identity, consider me a trusted adviser for your business. I’ll be here to make sure your brand is cohesive as you grow. You’ll get access to Olive Fox Design for your all of your future design needs. Including websites, digital assets, printed materials, and other custom design. Get in touch for more info!
Our process starts a consultation to make sure we are good match and on the same page for style. When you book with us you will pay a 50% non-refundable deposit to reserve time in our calendar. We will be collaborating together throughout the process and your feedback will help determine the success of your project. If after refinements you feel, we are not creating what you wanted to achieve, you will not be required to pay the remaining balance. This rarely happens and I will do my best to make sure you are happy at each step of process.
Payment for services is submitted through an invoice and paid via credit card or debit.
All project payments are due in two parts, a 50% non-refundable payment is due prior to work beginning and to hold your spot on the design calendar. The second half of the project payment is delivered at project completion before final files are delivered. Depending on the complete total cost, various payment options are available.
Print and production costs are not included in the design investment and are billed separately. All print costs are due before items are sent to the printer.
Branding services typically take 5-6 weeks. Project time frames will vary due to client response times and complexity of refinements.
Our availability is limited because we only take on a few clients each month. We want to make sure we have the time dedicated to each project to produce quality work and ensure client satisfaction. Typically we book out brand identity projects 1-3 months in advance.
Need something sooner? Send us a message with your timeline and project request. We will let you know if we are able to accommodate a rush order.
