Sometimes - before you design the website, you need to design or redesign the visual branding. After all, it's going to affect how the website looks.
In simple terms: your logo and tagline are the fundamental elements of your visual brand identity. They're the visual manifestation of how you want to be perceived by your audience or customer. And you want yours and your audience's perception of your identity to be as closely in-tune as possible.
In order to achieve that match and stay on-message, you need solid, well-considered visual identity design. It will become a crucial part of the brand that you'll build. We're pleased to say that Ionic are experienced in the visual design of customers' brand identities. Often referred to as logo design.

Identity Design: Easymoves
A more modern and kinetic-looking logo for an international removals company. The old logo said nothing - visually - about the company.

Identity Re-Design: AHR

Identity Re-Design: NAI
NAI's branding had lost visual focus and consistency, so Ionic updated the logo and typography. The client preferred not to make a complete break from the basic concept so familiar to its audience and members. The NAI acronym was changed to a friendlier lower-case sans-serif, with a new slab-serif typeface used to replace the old-fashioned serif font of the Neurological Alliance of Ireland text - which was out-of kilter with the modernistic main motif. » read more
