Logo & brand design · For the trades
A brand that looks like
you mean business.
A clip-art logo tells a $20,000 customer you’re a side gig. A real brand tells them you’re the pro. I design logos and full brand kits for contractors — the mark, the colors, the fonts, and every file you’ll ever need, all yours to own.
Why it matters
Your logo is the first handshake.
Before a homeowner reads a word about you, they’ve already judged your truck wrap, your yard sign, and the little icon on your website. That split-second says either “established pro” or “fly-by-night.”
A sharp, consistent brand makes you look bigger and more trustworthy than the competition — often before you’ve even quoted the job. That’s not vanity. That’s more closed jobs.
The work
Brands I’ve built.
Real marks for real businesses — each one made to look like exactly who they are.
Badlands Marketing Co
A rugged vintage badge for our own agency — bold, ownable, unmistakably Dakota.
The 701 List
An emblem for a North Dakota home-services directory — state pride, built to feel trustworthy.
Wade's Lake Oahe Adventures
A hand-style mark for a walleye fishing guide — rugged, memorable, all his.
What you get
Not just a logo — a whole brand kit.
Everything you need to look like the same sharp company everywhere — the truck, the sign, the site, the socials.
Your logo, done right
A primary logo plus the variations you actually need — horizontal, icon, and one-color versions for signs, wraps, and stamps.
A color palette
Your exact colors with the codes for print and web, so everything matches from the truck to the website.
Fonts that fit
A headline and body pairing picked for your brand, so your materials always look like the same company.
A simple usage guide
One page on how to use it all — so it stays consistent whether you or a sign shop is putting it on something.
Every file you'll need
PNG, SVG, and print-ready files, organized and labeled. No hunting for the right version.
You own 100% of it
All of it, in your name. Use it anywhere, forever. No licensing games, no hostage situations.
How it works
Simple, and no design homework for you.
We talk
A quick call about your business, your trade, and how you want customers to feel when they see your name.
I design concepts
I bring you real directions to react to — not a hundred clip-art options, a few strong ideas.
We refine
We tighten the one you love until it feels exactly right.
You get the files
Your full brand kit delivered, organized, and yours to keep — ready for signs, trucks, and the web.
Need a website too?
Get the brand and the site together and everything matches from day one — same colors, same feel, built to book jobs. Start with a logo, add the website when you’re ready.

What people ask about branding.
What does a logo and brand cost?
Every brand is quoted after a quick free call — you'll have the exact number in writing before I start. Priced for working contractors, not corporate design firms.
What exactly do I get?
A full brand kit: your logo plus the variations you need, your color palette, fonts, a simple usage guide, and every file (PNG, SVG, print-ready) — all yours to keep.
How long does it take?
Usually 1–2 weeks depending on how many rounds of tweaks we do. Slow season is the perfect time to get it done.
Can you refresh my existing logo instead of starting over?
Absolutely. Sometimes a brand just needs cleaning up and making consistent — I'll tell you honestly which your situation calls for.
Do I actually own it?
100%. Every file is delivered in your name, no licensing strings. Use it on anything, forever.
