Stewart Design is a brand consultancy that builds identities worth celebrating through verbal and visual clarity. We help companies feel proud of who they are by clearly expressing their value so that they can become industry leaders. We work with ambitious companies who feel held back and are ready to change. We know that most businesses get stuck when they fail to clearly express their value.

Stewart Design is unrecognizable from our start as a print shop in 2006. Everything changed in 2015.

We’d done it again. Another beautiful logo design to share with the world. Our team was beaming with pride, ready for the next challenge. The check cleared and we moved on. A few weeks later, we eagerly huddled around the screen, adrenaline pumping. “Check out our new site! Thanks again for all your help!”, the message flashed. Our hearts sank as we looked in disbelief.

Our work had been mangled beyond recognition. The logo was barely visible, skewed over an image so grainy we could count the pixels. The colors were all wrong. There were a half dozen fonts, none matching the design we had created. Even the drop shadows had drop shadows. The design we had so carefully crafted was in shambles. “Honestly, this might be worse than before,” Blake sighed. We shook our heads, knowing this project could have been so much more. The worst part? We knew it wasn’t their fault. It was ours.

Our epiphany was painfully clear: we hadn't helped at all. We thought logo design was the solution to every business problem. Everything changed that day. Our purpose, process, and products radically transformed to help our clients reach their greatest potential. This transition meant we’d have to stop designing for our portfolio and start equipping our clients for the spotlight. We stopped asking what and started asking why – a lot. We began to filter every client conversation and design decision through objective business goals. Beyond a logo, our identity projects expanded to forming the unique personality of each brand: the way it looks, feels, acts, and speaks. In doing so, our work has gotten better too.

Today, our consultancy is stronger than ever as we guide our clients to reach their greatest potential.
