Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Wells worked with our agency to uncover, ideate, and develop a new identity for a new direction for our agency, along with some icons to summarize our core services. Through rounds of discovery, concepts, revisions, and approvals, he was able to deliver:

1. A new brand identity system, complete with various forms of a new logo. 
2. A set of five icons. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Wells was able to deliver a few things:
1. Several forms and rounds of communication with our team, including email and virtual meetings.

2. A complete logo kit file, including several variations and colors of an approved logo direction.

3. A basic visual identity guide, detailing each logo, brand colors, and typefaces.

4. A complete brand icon set file, including several colors of approved graphics.  

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Wells was extremely punctual to all meetings and over-communicative on his process and responded to each question and email promptly. Additionally, when I wanted to be probably slightly more hands-on in the refinement and development process, he was more than open to have virtual meetings where we would talk openly about his process and where we wanted the new identity to go. It was refreshing to have a design partner be willing to be so collaborative. Ultimately, the outcome was more personal as a result. 

What was your primary form of communication with Wells Collins Design LLC?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The sheer amount of amazing ideas that Wells was able to produce in such relatively short amount of time was astounding. He just has so much creativity and insight in his process an skill set that it was somewhat overwhelming at times to see such an amount of good work. 

And, as stated before, his willingness to collaborate creatively on the final product was refreshing. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Wells Collins Design LLC could have done differently?

Honestly, no. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Wells again in the future.

My wife and I were looking for a very specific look and sensibility for the logo of our retail brand, and that search led us to Wells’s work. His style immediately felt like the right fit—and that impression only grew once we met and began working together.

The logo design project was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. Wells has a thoughtful, well-structured process and a pragmatic way of guiding you through decisions without ever losing sight of the original vision. From the initial concepts through the final design, Wells was collaborative, open to feedback, and consistently steady and creative in his approach. As a very small, self-funded startup, we also deeply appreciated how generous he was with his time and expertise, helping us get off the ground in every way he could. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Wells was very easy to work with from a project management standpoint. He kept things organized, set clear timelines, and delivered everything as it was expected.
