Branding & Logo Creation
At ISBX we specialize in creating brands that resonate with your audience, and we’re experts at designing logos that are memorable and unique.
Our process is simple:
We start by meeting with you to understand who your customers are, what they need from your brand, and what they want from you. Then we work with you to understand your business, its goals, and what makes it special. Then we use our expertise to come up with brand ideas that are tailored to you, that reflect your values and strengths, and that will make you shine!
Once we’ve nailed down the perfect concept for your brand identity, we’ll work with you to develop an eye-catching logo design to complement your new look.
Once the strategy is set, we get to work on creating some initial options for logos that we think will fit the bill for your brand. We’ll send them over so you can review them, and then we’ll make adjustments as needed until everybody’s happy with the final result!
Style Guide Creation
Creating a style guide is an important step in the process of building a website, because it ensures that all of your team members and partners are working with a consistent set of standards for what’s acceptable and what’s not.
The ISBX team can help you create a style guide for your business that includes:
- A list of approved fonts and colors for use on your site
- A list of approved images to use on your site
- A list of approved logos, including where they can be used and how big they should be (or how small) in relation to other elements on the page
- A list of approved icons and illustrations that can be used throughout the site

ISBX’s presentation process includes consultation, ideation, design, content creation, and delivery.

Creative Design Process
The creative design process is one that is largely overlooked by a majority of our competitors. While the larger brands are fully aware of the importance of this process, most startup clients discount the importance of the design process and therefore do not appropriately assess the quality and standards of an agency’s process.
At ISBX The Creative Design Process Is All Encompassing And Includes The Following:
User Personas
Persona modeling is a critical part of the design process and involves defining the various users that may interface with the system. Software designed for an engineer may have a fundamentally different design approach versus software designed for a teacher or parent. Understanding these various personas will help us define the architecture of the application itself, which becomes increasingly important if there are multiple roles interfacing with the application at any given time.
Information Architecture
“IA” is a formal structural design process for software systems that generally culminates in the production of “Wireframes.” Simply producing the wireframes does not necessarily mean an appropriate Information Architecture process was implemented. Since the process defines the locations of every interface within the mobile or web application, IA requires that the Information Architect be up to date with the industry’s best practices for User Experience and User Interface Design, such that the software system is easily utilized by its intended audience.
Defining Overall Site Flow and Map
This exercise is especially critical in funneling your users toward a “call to action” or the main feature of the website or application, and involves defining the overall page structure for the entire software system. It helps distill a multitude of ideas and information into a coherent layout and addresses questions like, “What is the priority of each page with respect to the application and user?” This process also helps us make the design process more efficient by constraining large amounts of information into defined sections.
Logo Ideation and Design
Although less relevant for established brands, the logo design process is critically important for startup clients and new brands. ISBX will undergo a formal logo ideation process that will help establish the core identity of the application by tapping into the vision of the product owner (client).
Style Sheet and Brand Guidelines
The process of defining a formal style sheet and brand guidelines is especially important for our startup clients. This helps to establish important standards for your brand such as fonts, colors, themes, logo usage, and the overall look-and-feel of your software product. This document is yours to keep and can be used to communicate the production of anything from stationery and promotional materials to the design of future products. For established brands, we can follow your brand guidelines and assure that anything we design is a mere extension of the overall corporate identity.
Design Compositions
Perhaps the most readily understood part of the process is the production of the design composition or “comps.” These are images of the final “look” of the various sections of your website or application, and are the primary assets used by the developer teams to construct the front-end of your software system. They are also beautiful takeaways, which can most accurately convey the overall appearance of the application to the product owner and stakeholders. While most of our clients center their attention on these comps, few understand the comprehensive and largely intangible process of exercises required to arrive at a completed set of comps.
The Importance of the Design Process
The design of your application is just as important as the actual technology development process. It defines how a user will interact with your application, and is the most powerful representation of the perceived quality of your application. A poorly designed application will be difficult to use, reducing the level of engagement with your user and the overall utility and entertainment value of the application. A well-designed application will be intuitive and enjoyable, and oftentimes the flow through the App will be so seamless that the user will be interfacing with the major features of the application before they know it.
