Branding

Design your brand with clarity at the core

Behind every great infographic and piece of visual content is a brand — the visual identity that makes your company unique and recognizable. Your brand should be clear, distinctive, and easy to bring to life with visuals. That’s our specialty!

Lemonly designs brands with clarity at the core — through visual identities, messaging, and brand standards that are easy to understand, fun to use, accessible for all, and scalable across your organization. And we’d love to apply a fresh coat of clarity to your brand with a design system.

Your brand’s design system

A design system is the set of assets and standards you use to create branded content. It includes your logo, colors, icons, illustrations, photography, pattern — all the elements you use to communicate your brand’s unique visual identity.

Your design system only becomes more powerful the more you add to it. With more design tools in your toolbox, you can create beautiful branded content for every part of your business — ads! blog posts! business cards! t-shirts for the company picnic! Scalable assets, clear guidelines, and ready-to-use templates make it easy.
