Brands get tired. A logo designed in a hurry ten years ago, colours that don't match across your van and website, or a business that has simply outgrown its look. These are all reasons to consider a rebrand. Here's how to tell if it's time, and how to do it smoothly.

Signs it's time to rebrand

Your logo looks dated or doesn't reflect what you do now
Your branding is inconsistent, with different colours or fonts on different materials
Your logo is hard to read at small sizes or on clothing
You've moved upmarket but your brand still looks budget
You've expanded into new services or areas
You feel embarrassed handing over your business card

Refresh or full rebrand?

A refresh keeps what people recognise, such as your name and the core shape of your logo, but modernises it. A full rebrand starts again. Most small businesses benefit from a refresh, because it keeps the trust you've built while making you look current.

What needs updating

Business cards and stationery
Shop, office and site signs
Vehicle signs
Workwear and uniforms
Banners and marketing leaflets
Website, social media profiles and email signatures

Rolling it out

Plan the launch date and update everything as close together as you can.
Start with the most visible items: signage, website and social profiles.
Use up old stock sensibly, but don't let it delay the switch for months.
Tell your customers. A rebrand is a great excuse for a newsletter or social post.

Because we handle design, print and websites and social media, we can roll out your new look everywhere at once.
