FAQs

How much does branding and logo design cost?

Branding is an investment, not a line item. Our branding packages in Calgary start around 2500 for logo and visual identity work, and can scale up depending on scope—things like messaging, naming, or brand collateral. We’ll give you a detailed proposal with no guesswork.

How long does the branding process take?

Most branding projects take 4–8 weeks. Smaller logo projects move faster, but full identity systems with messaging and guidelines take a bit more time to get right.

What’s included in the final deliverables?

You’ll get a full logo suite, all file types (SVG, PNG, PDF, etc.), color and type palettes, and brand guidelines. If you're doing a full package, you'll also get messaging and any print/digital assets we create along the way.

Do I need a full branding package, or just a logo?

If you’re starting out or running lean, a logo might be enough. But if you want consistency across platforms and better customer recognition, a full brand identity gives you the tools to grow without looking like you’re making it up as you go.

Will I be involved in the process?

Always. We treat branding as a collaboration. You’ll have regular checkpoints and feedback rounds at every stage. It’s your business—we’re just helping you show it off properly.

What makes onefortyfive different from other branding agencies in Calgary?

Unlike larger agencies, we work hands-on with every client, keeping the process fast, collaborative, and clear. With deep roots in Calgary’s creative and hospitality scenes, we bring real-world branding experience to every project—whether you’re a startup, small business, or scaling company.
