Brand Identity & Design

Design for Start-ups
Design for New Businesses



Considering a new business?

Patrick Redmond Design may be one of the key resources needed for design.

Patrick Redmond has provided design for numerous start-up businesses (see
client list... several of the clients listed were start-up businesses or about to become new businesses when Patrick Redmond provided design, etc.).


Perspective. 

Perspective is just one of the competitive advantages that an experienced firm such as Patrick Redmond Design can bring to the formation of a brand identity for a start-up business.

Patrick Redmond, of Patrick Redmond Design, PatrickRedmondDesign.com, with over 44 years of experience in the field of graphic design, has seen many fluctuations in the economy over the years. 

It is an understatement that, a
t times, when the economy is undergoing corrections and adjustments, there have been obvious corresponding changes in the business environment.

There may be opportunities in financial, economic crisis and reversals, opportunities for new, profitable business ventures.

You may have identified some of these opportunities and are considering -- or have already decided -- to begin your own start-up business. Maybe you just want to be your own boss and a start-up business is your vision for your future. 

Maybe the handwriting is on the wall and the company or employer you work for is likely to right size or downsize in response to changing market forces and you are likely to be a casualty of these changes.

While Patrick Redmond Design, as a professional firm, does not (and can not) guarantee financial success as a result of its brand identity work for startup businesses, you will have the assurance that you are working with a firm with experience in this area and that there are examples of success in this experience.  Many factors influence the financial success or failure of a startup business.  Brand identity is a key but only one of many factors.  

Patrick Redmond Design has provided design to help launch startups during times such as this. 

For example, a number of high-performing, leading individuals in respective, market-leading businesses in their field, decided to venture off on their own, forming their own independent, new start-up business.  They needed a brand identity and the basics were provided to help establish this business in a highly competitive environment.  That was some 28 years ago and now, tens of millions of dollars in sales later, that once-startup business, thanks in part, to a competitive, distinctive brand identity, including logo/trademark and communication package, has itself become a niche market leader. This business continues to use the brand identity developed some 28 years ago.  It had become a key element in the brand equity of this successful business.  Of course, while statistically, many businesses do not survive their first year or first five years, many do.  This is one that not only survived the business cycles but prospered as well.

Rather than being discouraged by a downturn in the economy, some individuals see the opportunities, and, undaunted, take calculated risks and form their own start-up ventures.  Considering, planning, or about to begin a start-up business, contact an established, professional with design-for-startups experience, Patrick Redmond Design.
