Logo and branding design in London, built on strategy first.
Branding is more than a logo. It’s the look, colours, type and tone that make people recognise, trust and choose you. Coffee & Candle designs branding in London that is built on your strategy, so it works as hard as it looks.
What’s included in a branding project
Every branding project starts with the strategic groundwork: who you’re for, what you stand for and how you want to be seen, before a single visual is designed. That’s what makes the branding hold up as the business grows.
- Logo and the full look of your brand
- Typography and colour frameworks
- Brand voice and communication guidelines
- Full brand guidelines documentation
Built to be used, not just admired

Frequently asked
What’s the difference between a logo and branding?
A logo is one asset. Branding is the full system it belongs to — typography, colour, imagery, voice, and the guidelines that keep all of it consistent as a team, agency or supplier grows the brand without you in the room.
Do you design brand guidelines?
Yes — every branding project we deliver includes full brand guidelines, so your team can apply the branding consistently without coming back to us for every asset.
Can you refresh our existing branding rather than starting from scratch?
Yes. Not every brand needs a full rebuild — sometimes the strategy still holds and the branding just needs sharpening. We’ll tell you straight which one your brand needs.
