Decide between a logo and a brand identity
A scalable logo may be enough for a profile image and website header. Packaging, business cards, colour systems and social layouts are separate deliverables. Do not assume that a package labelled brand design includes every asset your business needs.
Choose a route that fits your stage
DIY works for testing an early idea. A template suits a clear visual direction when you can make your own edits. Custom design can suit a brand that needs distinctive work across several formats. It still requires a useful brief and decisions from you.
Review relevant work, not just attractive mockups
Look for projects with a similar audience, style and use case. View the mark at avatar size and in a single colour. Can you still read it? A polished packaging mockup does not mean packaging artwork is included in the logo package.
Confirm the actual deliverables
Ask about concepts, revision rounds, vector source formats, transparent files, colour and font specifications, delivery dates and commercial usage. Check whether fonts, icons or stock assets need separate licences. Compare final quotes for the same scope rather than comparing starting prices.
