Branding Portfolio: Project Types We Deliver
Below are common branding project types. Each one shows the usual problem, how we approach it and the kind of outcome a business can expect.
What kinds of branding projects does SI Branding deliver?
Our branding portfolio covers six common project types: first brands for startups, rebrands for older businesses, packaging ranges, social media kits, digital brand clean-ups and personal brands. Each one starts with a clear problem and ends with files your team can use. Samples from similar work are shared on a free call, where clients allow it.

How should you read this branding portfolio?
This branding portfolio describes the common types of projects we deliver, each with the usual problem, our approach and the outcome a business can expect. Real samples are shared on a call.
Many of our clients do not want their brand files shown in public, and we respect that. So instead of a gallery of logos with no context, this page explains how we think about each kind of project. During your consultation, we can share samples of similar work where the client has allowed it.
| Project type | Main deliverables | Usual time frame |
|---|---|---|
| First brand for a startup | Positioning, logo, colours, fonts, launch kit | Three to five weeks |
| Rebrand for an older business | Audit, refreshed logo, rollout plan | Six to ten weeks |
| Packaging range | Range system, labels or boxes, print files | Three to eight weeks |
| Social media kit | Profiles, templates, style guide | Two to four weeks |
| Digital brand clean-up | Audit, profile fixes, templates, tone guide | Three to six weeks |
| Personal brand | Bio, name mark, profile setup, templates | Three to five weeks |
Time frames depend on scope and how fast feedback comes back. You get a clear plan and quote after a free call.
Project type: First brand for a new startup
A first startup brand gives founders one clear look and story for their app, website, deck and social pages.
Problem: The founders had a product and a name, but no logo, no colours and no clear way to describe what they do. Their pitch deck and app screens all looked different.
Approach: A short brand strategy workshop, then a logo, colour palette, fonts and a simple guide. See startup branding.
Outcome to expect: One clear look for the app, website, deck and social pages, and a short brand story the founders can repeat.
Project type: Rebrand for a family business
A rebrand for a family business modernises an old look while keeping the trust that years of work have built.
Problem: A business running for many years had an old logo that did not print well and did not look right on mobile screens. Younger buyers saw it as outdated.
Approach: An audit of what to keep and what to change, a refreshed logo that keeps the old trust, and a step-by-step plan to switch signboards, stationery and online pages. See rebranding.
Outcome to expect: A modern look that old customers still recognise, rolled out without confusion.
Project type: Packaging range for a D2C food brand
A packaging range project turns many unrelated labels into one family of packs that look good on shelves and in online listings.
Problem: Each product had a different label made by a different printer. On shelves and on marketplace listings, the products did not look like one brand.
Approach: A packaging system with a fixed layout, colour coding per flavour, and print-ready files for each pack size. See packaging design.
Outcome to expect: A range that looks like one family, and faster design of new products because the system is already set.
Project type: Social media brand kit for a clinic
A social media brand kit gives staff editable templates so the page stays clean and matches the clinic's real-world look.
Problem: Posts were made by different staff with free templates. The page looked messy and did not match the clinic signboard.
Approach: A set of editable post, story and highlight templates in the clinic's brand colours, with simple rules for photos and text. Content stays educational and within the medical council's advertising rules. See social media branding.
Outcome to expect: A clean, steady feed that staff can update themselves in less time.
Project type: Digital brand clean-up and personal brands
Two other common projects are a digital brand clean-up for a business with mixed online profiles, and a personal brand for a founder or expert.
Digital brand clean-up for a service business
Problem: The Google Business Profile, Facebook page, Instagram and website each used a different logo, phone number and style. Customers were not sure they had found the right business.
Approach: An online audit, a fix list starting with what most people see, new profile images and templates, and a short tone guide for replies. See digital branding.
Outcome to expect: The same name, details and look everywhere, so people trust the business faster.
Personal brand for a consultant
Problem: A consultant was known through referrals, but a name search showed an old profile photo, a half-filled LinkedIn page and no website.
Approach: A positioning line, a written bio, a simple name mark and colours, a photo brief and LinkedIn setup with templates. See personal branding.
Outcome to expect: A clear and honest online presence that matches how referrals describe the consultant.
Which project type fits your business?
Pick the project type by your main problem: no brand yet, an old brand, messy packs, a messy online look, or a need to be known in your own name.
| If your main problem is | Start with |
|---|---|
| We have a product but no logo or clear message | Startup branding or brand strategy |
| Our logo is old and does not work on phones | Rebranding |
| Our products do not look like one range | Packaging design |
| Our social pages look messy | Social media branding |
| Our profiles and website do not match | Digital branding |
| Clients search my name and find little | Personal branding |
If more than one row fits, we usually start with the one that most buyers see first, then add the rest in phases.

How do you judge a branding agency's portfolio?
Judge a branding portfolio by the problems solved and the thinking shown, not only by how pretty the logos look.
- Does each project explain the problem, or only show the final logo?
- Is the work shown on real items like packs, screens and signboards?
- Is there variety in style, or does every brand look the same?
- Does the work suit businesses of your size and market?
- Can the team explain why each design choice was made?
Good signs
- Clear problem and approach for each project
- Work shown in real use
- Honest about what was and was not their work
Warning signs
- Only mockups with no context
- Every logo in the same style
- Big claims or numbers that cannot be checked

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see samples from my industry?
Yes. During the free call we can share samples of similar work from your industry or a close one, where the client has allowed it. Many clients prefer that their brand files are not shown publicly, so we share them privately and explain the problem and approach behind each one.
Why don't you show client logos and names on this page?
Many businesses do not want their brand files or names shown in public, and we respect that. Instead, this page explains the types of projects we deliver and how we approach each one. Real samples are shared privately on a call, where the client has given permission.
What should I look for in a branding portfolio?
Look for the problem behind each project, not only the final logo. Good portfolios show work in real use, such as on packs, screens and signboards, show variety in style, and explain why choices were made. Be careful with portfolios that show only mockups or make big claims that cannot be checked.
Do you only work with startups?
No. We work with startups, family businesses, D2C brands, clinics, professionals, B2B companies and exporters. The project types on this page are the most common ones, but many projects combine parts of two or more types, such as a rebrand with new packaging.
How long does a typical branding project take?
It depends on the type. A social media kit often takes two to four weeks, a startup brand three to five weeks, and a full rebrand six to ten weeks. Packaging ranges vary with the number of products. We share a clear timeline after the free call.
Will my project be shown in your portfolio?
Only if you agree. We ask for permission before sharing any work, and you can choose to keep it private. Some clients allow private sharing on calls but not public display, and we follow whatever you choose.
