Your logo is often the first thing people see. It turns up on your website, your van, your invoices and your social profiles, so it needs to be distinctive, simple and work everywhere you do.
Conker is an independent design studio based in Grimsby, designing logos for businesses across Grimsby, Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, Hull and beyond. Every logo we create is built on a proper understanding of your business, and if you need more than a mark, we can take it further into a complete brand identity.
You might be starting a new business and need a logo that looks established from day one. You might have a logo someone put together in a hurry years ago that no longer reflects the quality of your work. Or perhaps your logo looks fine on screen but falls apart when it's stitched on a polo shirt, printed small on a business card or shrunk down to a social media icon.
A good logo isn't about following trends or squeezing in every idea. It's about creating something simple and recognisable that tells people who you are and gives them confidence in choosing you.
Before we sketch a single idea, we get to know your business. We want to understand what you do, who your customers are, who you're up against and how you want people to feel when they see your name. That thinking gives every design decision a reason, so the logo we create is built for your business rather than borrowed from someone else's.
We look at your business, your market and your competitors so your logo stands apart rather than blending in.
We explore a range of ideas and directions before refining the strongest ones together.
Whether it's a wordmark or a symbol, we choose and craft lettering that suits your personality.
A palette that's distinctive, practical and works in print, on screen and in a single colour.
Versions for every use, from a large shop sign to a tiny social media icon.
All the files you need, in the right formats, with simple guidance on how to use them.
A logo is the centrepiece of your identity, but it works best as part of something bigger - the colours, typography, imagery and tone of voice that sit around it and make your business recognisable even when the logo isn't there. That's why we always design a logo with the wider identity in mind, even if a logo is all you need right now.
Better questions lead to better logos.
There isn't a Conker template or a library of ready-made marks. Every business has its own story, personality and audience, so every logo starts from a blank page.
For some businesses, that means a confident wordmark built from carefully chosen lettering. For others, it's a symbol or monogram that can stand on its own. Sometimes the best answer is refining the logo you already have rather than replacing it. We'll work out what your business actually needs before deciding what to create, and if the bigger opportunity is your positioning, we'll tell you.
Launching a new business comes with plenty of decisions, and your logo is one of the first things people will notice.
We'll create a logo that looks established from day one, with all the versions and files you need to launch with confidence.
Your business has grown, but your logo hasn't kept up.
Whether it needs a gentle refresh or a complete redesign, we'll look at what's working, what's worth keeping and what needs to change, so you don't lose the recognition you've already built.
Your logo needs to look right wherever people find you - on your website and social media, in print and on signage, vehicles and workwear. We're based in Grimsby, working with businesses across Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, Hull and beyond, and with graphic design and web design under one roof, we can roll your new logo out across everything consistently.
It should feel like you, wherever it appears.
Thinking about a new logo can come with plenty of questions - from cost and timelines to what you'll actually receive at the end. Here are some of the things we're asked most often, and if you can't find the answer you're looking for, just get in touch - we're always happy to have a chat.
Every logo project is different, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all price. A focused logo design will naturally cost less than a project that also covers a wider visual identity or brand guidelines. We'll scope everything out and give you a clear price before we start, so you know exactly what's involved.
It depends on the project, but we'll agree a clear process and timeline before we begin. We'd always rather give the research and concepts enough time than rush into a design that doesn't last.
We explore a range of directions behind the scenes and present the strongest ones with the thinking behind them. From there, we refine your chosen route together until it's right.
You'll receive your logo in the formats you're likely to need - vector files for print and signage, files for your website and social media, and full colour, black and white versions. We'll explain which file to use where, so you're never left guessing.
Yes. If your logo still has recognition worth keeping, a careful refresh can modernise it without starting again. If it's holding the business back, we can design something new. We'll look at what you have before recommending either.
No. A logo is often where people start, but we also create complete brand identities, brand guidelines and the graphic design that brings everything to life.
Yes. We're based in Grimsby and work with businesses across Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, Hull, Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire and beyond. Most of the process can be handled online, so location doesn't have to be a barrier.
Yes. If your new logo needs a website to match, we can take the project from identity through to a fully designed and developed website, so everything launches together.
Of course. You don't need a perfect brief or a clear picture of what your logo should look like. Tell us about your business, what's not working and where you'd like to get to, and we'll work it out from there.
