Basic package — 600 USD: 3 concepts, up to 3 revision rounds, final SVG/EPS/PNG/PDF files, mini guideline of 5-7 pages. Extended — 1200 USD: 4 concepts, full 20-30 page brand book, light and dark backgrounds, favicon, app icon, business card and social templates. Premium — from 2500 USD: full identity, tone of voice, presentation templates, packaging. 50% prepayment, the rest after final approval. Details for logo design and a matching website can be bundled.

Basic package — 2-3 weeks: 3-5 days for brief and research, 5-7 days for concepts, 5-7 days for revisions and final delivery. Full identity — 4-6 weeks. I work step by step: first I show black-and-white sketches to focus on form rather than color. That saves time and produces a better result. If the deadline is urgent (an exhibition or product launch) I can deliver in 7-10 days at +30% to the price.

Yes, that is a third of my projects. Rebranding is especially relevant for Chernihiv businesses operating since the 1990s and still using logos in the style of that time — frames, gradients, Arial. I start with an audit: interviews with owners and key clients, brand perception analysis, competitive review. Often the old mark should not be discarded but evolved — keep a recognisable element, modernise the rest. That respects the company history.

Yes, I always test the logo in extreme scenarios: 16x16px favicon, Telegram avatar, embroidery on workwear, large 3x6 meter signage, engraving on wood (important for Chernihiv oblast wood processing brands), textile embroidery, metal etching. If the mark breaks in any of those scenarios it is not a logo, it is a drawing. The brand book includes minimum sizes and clear-space rules.

A full 20-40 page brand book: primary logo, monochrome versions, minimum sizes, clear space, prohibited usage, color palette (CMYK, RGB, HEX, Pantone), typography (headline and body fonts with licenses), construction grid, examples on branded carriers — business cards, letterheads, envelopes, presentations, social media, merch. For manufacturers I add packaging and labeling templates.

Main tool — Figma, for vector precision — Adobe Illustrator. I sketch by hand in a notebook — it is faster and produces cleaner ideas than starting in Figma. Fonts come from licensed libraries (Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, MyFonts), sometimes I commission a custom typeface from a type designer. All final vectors are delivered in SVG, EPS, PDF, AI — the client can open them in any editor.

Registration is a legal process, not a design one. I do not register trademarks, but I recommend trusted lawyers in Chernihiv and Kyiv. Before design I always advise the client to check whether the name and mark are taken in your niche — a basic search via Ukrpatent and EUIPO open databases. If the mark turns out to be taken, I do not take prepayment again — I redesign for free.

Fully to the client. I do not retain any usage rights on the mark — after final invoice payment all property rights pass to the customer. This is fixed in the contract. I can showcase the work in my portfolio only with the client's consent (NDA signed if required). Files are delivered via Google Drive or Dropbox with a permanent link — you will have access even five years later.

Yes, this is one of my specialties here. Chernihiv oblast is a forest region with dozens of companies — from small sawmills to lumber exporters to the EU. For such brands I design marks that survive harsh conditions: wood engraving, embroidery on workwear, laser marking on crates. I avoid thin lines and tiny details — they fail on dirty packaging. I often add wood or coniferous symbols, but stylised, never literal.

Yes. Chernihiv is the oldest city of Ukraine with princely roots from the 9th century: Chernihiv Detinets, Saviour-Transfiguration Cathedral, Anthony Caves. For hotels, tour agencies and restaurants in the historical center I create marks that combine modern graphics with elements of Byzantine or old Rus symbolism — without kitsch, without "matryoshkas". I often build the logo on great typography plus one stylised symbol. If a matching website is needed for a tourism brand, I deliver the bundle.

Chernihiv has many businesses founded by parents in the 1990s and now run by children in their 30s and 40s, often with Chernihiv National Pedagogical University or foreign education. The old logo is the memory of founders but no longer matches modern standards. I help evolve the mark gradually, preserving historical continuity: recognisable shape, refreshed proportions, modern typography. That respects parents and customers alike. The feeling of "ours" stays.

I use only licensed fonts: Google Fonts (fully free and commercial), Adobe Fonts (part of Creative Cloud), MyFonts and Type Network for premium tasks. License files are handed over to the client with the brand book. No pirated content. I draw icons and symbols myself — nothing from photo stocks or Iconfinder. Sometimes I bring in a type designer for a custom typeface — I know several talented people in Chernihiv and Kyiv, some are graduates of Chernihiv National Technological University and Kyiv art schools.
