Seven checkpoints, each with deliverables

Writing the working process out clearly protects both sides. Below is CanBrand®'s standard workflow — use it to judge whether we are professional, and to hold us to it.

Brief → strategy proposal → contract → design → revisions → source files → aftercare
01

1–3 business days

brief & alignment

One 60–90 minute deep conversation translates “we want a logo” into real business questions: customer structure, competitive position, three-year plan, budget boundary. Style is off the table; goals are the agenda.

02

5–10 business days

strategy proposal

Industry and competitor scans, client interviews, brand diagnosis — distilled into a strategy outline: positioning, value proposition, language system, visual direction. Presentations argue logic, not renderings.

03

1–2 business days

contract & kickoff

Scope, deliverables, milestones and payment rhythm are confirmed, the contract signed and the project group set up. Both sides' contacts and decision-makers are fixed at the same time — no “eight revisions, then a new boss signs off.”

10–25 business days

design execution

Logo, VI, packaging and spatial design advance along the strategy direction. Each stage presents 2–3 directions first; deepening starts after the direction is confirmed — no endless-revision burn.

5–10 business days

revision & sign-off

The contract includes 3 revision rounds. Each round takes consolidated feedback with written sign-off, avoiding conflicting voices. Out-of-scope new requests are assessed separately for effort and cost.

source file delivery

Editable source files (AI/PSD/CDR/3D), font list, color specifications, print production notes and construction drawings are delivered, plus one 60-minute rollout training so clients and vendors use them correctly.

aftercare & follow-through

Delivery is not the end. Within 6 months, free consulting: extending new materials, vetting vendor samples, reviewing rollout results. Long-term clients can sign an annual brand service.

FAQ

Five questions clients ask most

For a full-scope branding project, what are typical timelines and budgets?

A standard full-scope project (strategy + logo VI + basic applications) typically takes 6–10 weeks; budget range depends on industry and extension scope. We give a clear range after the first conversation — no “low-ball in, add-ons out” pricing.

Can we just get a logo?

Yes — but we first run a light diagnosis (1–2 days) to confirm what the mark must carry. If the business is still deciding its direction, we will recommend strategy first; otherwise the logo will likely be scrapped and redone within two years.

How are revisions counted?

The contract includes 3 consolidated revision rounds. In each, the client appoints a single decision-maker to consolidate comments and submit them in writing. Reason: scattered “one line per person” feedback is the main cause of projects spiraling.

Will we receive the source files?

Yes. All editable source files, the font license list, color values and production notes are delivered in full once the final payment clears — no encryption or permission locks.

How do you handle remote projects?

Strategy and proposal stages can run online; key checkpoints (proposal, logo sign-off, acceptance) are best attended in person. We are in Jinan, serve nationwide, and remote projects bill travel at cost.

On pricing:We quote by “scope × depth of deliverables,” not by page count or logo count. A complete deliverables list is provided before signing; anything outside the list is priced separately — so no late add-ons to worry about.
