Branding & Identity Systems
A good brand isn’t just how you look. It’s how you’re remembered.

Why it matters
Branding isn’t just about logos and colour palettes — though those things matter. It’s about how people feel when they come across your organisation. It’s the tone of your emails, the consistency of your materials, the way your website speaks, or the feeling your packaging gives someone when they open it.
Strong branding helps people recognise you, trust you, and choose you — sometimes without even realising why.
At Luminous Industries, we help you shape a brand that’s true to who you are, and meaningful to the people you’re trying to reach. Whether you’re selling to businesses or directly to customers, we’ll help you build a visual identity that works everywhere — not just on a brand guidelines PDF.
How we can help you
If your brand feels a bit all over the place, or you’ve grown and it no longer fits who you are now, we can help you get back to something that feels clear and confident.
We’ll start by listening — to you, your team, and sometimes your customers too — and working out what needs to be said, and how to say it visually. That could mean refreshing your current brand, starting from scratch, or building out a full identity with everything from tone of voice to icon sets.
We’ll then help apply that identity across your core materials — websites, slide decks, social graphics, reports, packaging — so it feels joined-up and intentional, not just a logo and a hunch.
And if you’ve already got a solid brand but need a designer who understands how to work with it, we’re more than happy to drop in and support your team — keeping things on-brand without being precious.
Branding & Identity Systems — What's the difference?
Good question. Branding is a deep dive into an organisations 'Why'. Defining that is possibly the most important thing an organisation can do. To understand the 'Why', we ask questions which dig well below the surface. After all, the 'Why' is your unique reason for existing in the world and what makes your organisation, the organisation your customers should choose. There is a lot of research and discovery involved here, but the end result is worth it, culminating in a culture, voice, value system and a cohesive visual presence, which your customers and employees (if you have them) can buy into. A full branding project will take stock of your thoughts and ideas. Additionally, your branding will go through pre-release market testing to make sure we hit the mark for you.
Identity systems are a little different. Related to branding but without the deep dive. You might not be ready to understand your brand yet, but you do need to present your business in the best possible way, you also need some thinking behind it, but only the minimum. Later the branding can be fully realised, just not yet. Great! We love working with people just starting out. An identity system will only take you so far, but that's okay for now. We'll listen to you and base your identity system around your ideas.
Why we'd be a good fit
We work best with organisations and individuals who care about what they’re putting out into the world — whether you’re launching something new, rethinking your positioning, or trying to bring consistency to a growing set of materials or products.
That might be a B2B organisation with a complex offer and a reputation to protect. Or a consumer-facing brand that wants to stand out without shouting. If you’re aiming to connect with people through clear, thoughtful branding — we’re ready to help.
