CFGD specialises in creating unique, vibrant and resonant brand identities for businesses, personalities and products that are at an agency level and affordable.
Based in Taunton, Somerset I work with clients all over the UK.
I am passionate about the inspiration and careful consideration that can differentiate and elevate brands above their competition, facilitating a clear choice to prospective clients.
With intuitive and boundless creativity, supported by over 11 years of experience working on national and global projects, I have developed a skill set that can create deep, robust, peerless and fearless visual brand identities that generate an irresistible connection with your target audience.
The process is scalable and, dependent on your budget, I can provide:

To help you manage your budget I can provide a bespoke branding package that is unique to your needs – please get in touch with your proposed budget and I will get to work finding the best solution for you and your business.
The CFGD Branding Process
Identification
Our initial meeting can be in person, online or over the phone.
The objective of this meeting is to find out about you and your business and to identify your goals, intentions and plans for the future.
I will follow up on our conversation with a bespoke online questionnaire which will help identify a unique array of values – this will include questions about your competitors, your aspirations and many other unique values that make you who you are.
I will then analyse the results and complete further research if needed.
DEFINItion
The goal of this stage is to formulate a concept or a statement which encapsulates the essence of your identity, based on the responses from the identification stage.
Following the data collection, the next phase is where logic and magic combine in a creative ‘sculpting’ session where the essence and potential scope of the brand is explored.
The results of this exploration will be refined and the most viable outcomes will be shared with you for your feedback and input.
Following this input, potential issues are addressed with final refinements.
ASSET CREATION
In this stage, all of the brand building blocks are finalised: the logo is created in all of its various applications, the suite of typefaces and typographic styles, the colour swatch completed, all of the brand photographic images, icons and other graphics are all crafted to perfection and assembled into an asset library.
Many of my clients are now collecting these assets in Canva to enable easy in-house generation of branded content – or I can remain the gatekeeper and look after these securely on your behalf. Unlimited asset storage is a standard service for all CFGD clients.
BRAND APPLICATION
This is when the brand comes to life in all of the touchpoints you have chosen: website, social media platforms, business stationery, signage, packaging etc…
Full brand guidelines can be provided to enable you to instruct outside agencies how to consistently apply your unique tone of voice and attributes.

CHEAP BUSINESS BRANDING PACKAGES TAUNTON SOMERSET UK
Budget branding for Tone Heating
This is perfect for startups with a very limited budget that already have a clear idea of what they need, eg: they can provide logo design sketches, an idea of colour palette.
Please get in touch with your budget and I will do my best to exceed your expectations.
- Professionally redrawn and digitised logo (from supplied sketches/concept)
- Colour swatch definition (from client preference)
- Typeface recommendation
- Files supplied for web and print purposes
Please note that this is a superficial solution that works well for smaller businesses such as window cleaners, painter & decorators etc – but it is definitely not suitable for all.
The lowest budget package will not allow time for the full analysis of needs and are purely design-based solutions, without the strategy needed for market positioning.
Please drop me an e-mail to see if this is suitable for your business.
