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

We hired League Design Agency to help us with our rebrand. We had already come up with our new company name and messaging, but needed help coming up with a new design concept and visual branding, including color pallet, logo, icons, typography, visual style, and various branded carriers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We also loved their scientifically-backed and well-defined project lifecycle. The development of our design concept project was broken down into stages, and at the end of each meeting they would recap what phase was next so we always knew where we stood in the lifecycle of the project.

We loved that they presented multiple concepts for our initial design directions, instead of just presenting one that we hopefully liked, and all concepts were extremely well-thought out with meaning and inspiration to back them. We are over-the-moon excited about our new brand identity and loved every minute of our collaboration with them.

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

We were extremely impressed with their project manager and their turnaround time on deliverables. League always submitted deliverables when they said they would and would be extremely quick to respond to our feedback. We received constant project updates, including hours used and progress updates on where we were in the project lifecycle. They run an extremely organized and well-oiled machine, which made us feel comfortable every step of the way.

We loved the comradery and culture fit we had with League. Their employees are extremely friendly and personably, yet know when to get down to business. We have built strong relationships with every member of their team that we worked with and loved the passion they have for design and creativity.

What set them apart though was the structure, processes, and analytical backing they brought to every step of the project - from project timelines to visual aids and questionnaires. They have perfected a process to deliver outstanding design concepts which is equal parts science and art.

Are there any areas for improvement or something League Design Agency could have done differently?

There is nothing they could have done differently! We have loved working with them so much that we have gone on to continue working with them for subsequent projects, including website design and development and product packaging design.

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

We have worked with League Design on developing our new brand's visual identity and brand concept. The process started with a very detailed brief that we have filled out on our side to help League Design understand our industry, product offering, benefits of the product, the idea of the naming and many other details. Following that we had a design moodboard session where the League Design team learned about our visual preferences. 

After having analyzed our input they offered several brand concepts were all excellent! We have chosen one and it was the time to wait till the realization of the visual side, which included several version of the logo to choose from, set of brand colors in light and dark palettes, visual elements based on the brand concept and the colors, typography, visual tricks and mockups of using this brand identity on different carriers. 

I must say we had only one iteration as the quality and precision of their work was impeccable. We have received a full brand guide with every single visual element in source files and detailed usage explanation. It really enabled us to start using the brand in the correct way across all the assets we have started creating.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I think the biggest measurable outcome is that only a month after we have completed building the identity we have already created several presentations, white papers and a landing page without the help of a designer based on materials that League Design team has provided. These assets are high quality and very usable.

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

Everything was extremely efficient and on time.Our project manager, Marina was highly responsive to any requests, she transferred every message to the designer clearly and we could see this in the changes that were made. how fast and precise they were made as well.

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

Highly professional, in our process they changed my perception of the brand building process. Their process is perfectly optimized to guide people with or without previous marketing or branding experience, project managers "hold you by the hand" at every step of the way making sure the final result is delivered both on the highest professional level possible and makes the customer happy.

Are there any areas for improvement or something League Design Agency could have done differently?

I hate to say this, but no :) during the process i felt that the only obstacle at times was us not providing feedback fast enough because of decision making process inside of the organization. They almost make me want to work for them ;)

We had a name we would like to use in our rebranding and knew what we wanted our audience to feel. We needed a logo and a website matching the new name and the feelings we wanted to relay. In summary, we needed a brand new logo and website design that would have a specific vibe to it and would have specific industry-oriented features.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

A logo and a website will suit our vision of the brand and will relay the look and feel we envisioned. The website must have a unique design and a dynamic user experience. The logo must match the website's style and relay the brand's name.

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

I had an exceptional experience working with League Design, a creative agency that provided comprehensive services for my luxury Islamic goods business. Their scope of work encompassed brand identity development, brand design, and website design, resulting in remarkable deliverables that exceeded my expectations. League Design began by thoroughly understanding my business goals, target audience, and brand values. 

Through insightful consultations, they grasped the essence of my luxury Islamic goods business and translated it into a captivating brand identity. This included crafting a unique logo that perfectly captured the spirit of my brand and could be easily recognized. They also developed a cohesive visual language, selecting an elegant color palette, typography, and visual elements that harmoniously represented my brand's personality. 

In addition to brand identity, League Design undertook brand design to create a wide range of collateral materials. These materials were essential for establishing a consistent brand presence across various touchpoints. They designed exquisite letterheads and packaging, ensuring that every interaction with my brand exuded a sense of luxury and sophistication. 

League Design's attention to detail and artistic approach truly elevated the presentation of my luxury Islamic goods. The website design provided by League Design was nothing short of exceptional. They crafted a visually stunning and user-friendly website that perfectly reflected my brand's aesthetic. The design was responsive, adapting seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes, ensuring a delightful browsing experience for visitors.

The website design showcased my luxury Islamic goods in an enticing manner, featuring captivating product imagery and an intuitive navigation structure. Throughout the process, League Design demonstrated their expertise in content creation and copywriting. 

They developed engaging and persuasive content that effectively communicated my brand message and product descriptions. With a strategic approach, they ensured that the content resonated with my target audience's needs and preferences. In summary, the key deliverables provided by League Design included:

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In the case where the website has yet to launch, the project outcomes, progress, and success primarily revolve around the completion of project tasks and the journey League Design took me on to develop a finished brand. League Design's organization and expertise allowed them to guide me seamlessly through the process of building my brand from scratch. Their systematic approach ensured that each task was completed efficiently and effectively, resulting in a cohesive and well-developed brand identity. 

The success of the project can be measured by the milestones achieved along the way. This includes the completion of the brand discovery phase, where League Design gained a deep understanding of my business goals, target audience, and brand values. This laid the foundation for the subsequent tasks and ensured that the resulting brand identity would align with my objectives. 

Another measure of success is the completion of the brand design phase, where League Design crafted a unique logo, selected a suitable color palette, typography, and visual elements, and created a consistent visual language for my brand. The successful completion of these tasks indicates that League Design effectively translated my brand's essence into a visually compelling representation. 

Additionally, the completion of collateral materials, such as business cards, letterheads, envelopes, and packaging, demonstrates progress and success in establishing a cohesive brand presence. The meticulous attention to detail and the finalization of these assets indicate that League Design meticulously brought my brand identity to life in tangible forms. 

While the website launch is pending, the project's success can be seen in the thoroughness and expertise with which League Design handled the brand development process. From initial consultations to the completion of project tasks, they guided me through the creation of a finished brand, showcasing their organization, skills, and commitment to delivering a comprehensive brand identity. 

Once the website is launched, additional measurable outcomes and progress can be evaluated, such as website traffic, user engagement, and conversions. At that stage, the success of the overall project will become even more evident as the brand is presented to the online audience, potentially leading to business growth and increased revenue.

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

From my perspective, League Design's project management was truly amazing. They excelled at delivering everything in a timely manner and maintained consistent communication about timelines throughout the process.

Are there any areas for improvement or something League Design Agency could have done differently?

While my experience with League Design Agency was highly positive, there is one area where they could have improved their approach. I would have liked more dynamic and clear documentation from the start of the project that provides details on the project timeline and pricing, including any adjustments made during the course of the project. 

This would have enhanced transparency and ensured a comprehensive understanding of the timeline and financial aspects throughout our collaboration. It's important to note that this area for improvement is relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall success of the project. 

They also listened to my feedback and made adjustments and provided what I was looking for halfway through the project. Their strengths and commitment to delivering exceptional work far outweigh these minor considerations.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Lead Communications Manager, responsible for choosing the design agency and working with them on developing content-

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire League Design Agency?

Three web deisgn projects:

1. We required a completely new website for the main organisation
2. We required a digital Annual Report for the main organisation
3. We required a digital Annual Report for one of our programmes

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I found them online - I did extensive research for an affordable, full service web agency located in the Ukraine who could work with rebranding and web design. They had an excellent portfolio, very nice sales representative who was able to fully answer all my questions, and a very fair prince.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We started with rebranding of the organisation with League's design team. It didn't work out exactly as planned, however we decided instead to use the branding they developed for our Annual Report, and we cobranded the organisation with the brand of one of our programmes developed by a different agency. League took these brand guidelines and came up with clever ways to implement them.

I have regular meetings with their project manager on the web development side and she provides weekly gannt charts of the progress. It was a very smooth process from them developing the wireframes to designing the whole website in Figma, which I could easily comment on and see in action.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked with their sales rep/first point of contact, two people from their graphic team (project manager and designer), and project manager for the web design team. She took care of everything beautifully so it didn't seem necessary to meet the designers in a call, but we interacted on Figma.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The projects are still under construction, but happy to share when they are done!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was excellent - the project manager for web design is an absolute dream to work with, they are incredibly quick to implement any changes and worked with our tight and changing deadlines. They are always quick to respond, incredibly friendly, and highly competent, and the designers do a really stellar job. They speak excellent English so I never had any troubles with communication.

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

I was really impressed how well they took content from the old website together with the new brand guidelines, and made something beautiful and highly user friendly out of it. I like working with them so much and am so impressed with their work, I asked them to do the Annual Repot for one of our other programmes that has completely different branding. They were able to very quickly take that and build an interactive report which is also still in progress, but looking sensational!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The graphic designer we had on our original rebranding wasn't on the same wavelength as what we wanted for our whole rebrand, but we repurposed the designs with them very effectively for the organisation's annual report.

More importantly, we felt that it is important to have a dynamic website that sets us apart from other mining industry websites that are rather mundane and seem like simple templates.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We reviewed several examples of their portfolio of works and then conducted an interview of their process. We appreciated their immediate understanding of the drivers / motivations behind our website project and they seemed equipped to help guide us through the process to what we ultimately wanted to achieve.

4. League reviews Questionnaire and peer websites, and provides feedback and ratings of peer websites relative to effectiveness

6. Client reviews proposal and decides on design components shall be utilized in the web design
7. League begins design of Home page for draft review
8. Upon clients sign-off, League continues with remaining pages

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

In total, we had two persons from their team; which entailed the relationship manager and the project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The design was excellent and executed exactly as we requested. It captured all the key drivers that were discussed during our preliminary proposal process. All prospects that visit our site exclaim how professional, yet cool it is!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was efficient. We were updated weekly of design process and had access to Figma platform to follow such progress it realtime and make notes within the application.

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

They were very professional and their team did an expert job of combining industry due diligence, branding, marketing, and designing within one comprehensive project.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I can't think of any areas of improvement at the moment. Even after the questionnaire feedback and design proposal, they reverted with how it will impact the project pricing and communicated effectively; and then worked diligently to keep to the targeted timetable and pricing.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire League Design Agency?

Our website was outdated and had some UI/UX challenges that we wanted to solve. Our internal designer didn't have enough experience and resources to carry out such a massive project on her own.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

League is a clearly well-built and united team. All the processes are very well thought through, and they are great communicators. From the very first message, it was clear that they didn't just send out canned pitches to anyone that comes to them, but they carefully check the request and take time to try and understand your needs. On top of that, of course, the fact that they had a good versatile portfolio with modern well-structured designs was a big deciding factor.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We had a series of in-depth discovery meetings. The team helped us put together a survey for our website visitors to identify points that we need to improve. They worked with us on a concept that would work well for our brand and provided several versions of the website design. Moving forward, they wireframed and designed over 15 pages of our website and created a style guide for our internal designer to use to implement the rest of the design. They also created several outline animations for our website.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

During this project, I worked with an account manager, a PM, and a designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our internal designer found it very easy to work with the style guide provided by League. After the implementation of the redesign, our website got an 8% conversion rate boost on average.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow is very very efficient and comfortable.

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

Very well-built processes. You can see that people enjoy working in this company and it matters a lot. They were very customer-focused, detail-oriented, and easy to work with.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Hard to say. There were some hiccups here and there, but every challenge was resolved very professionally. Well done and I can only recommend this team.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

The vendor has very good B2B references and was very proactive and convincing during the intro discussions. Also they have a tremendous client satisfaction score! I also liked the process driven aspect of the company and the fact that a team is working on my project. This guarantees good brainstorming and complementary skills.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project followed a well stream lined process for maximum success rate and efficiency. We went through a series of steps including a detailed briefing, a competitive analysis, preliminary design review, detailed design review. For the website design we also had a briefing, competitor analysis, wireframe design and design concept. All was managed by  two very efficient and communicative Project Managers (one for the branding, one for the web site design).

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The team was composed of two project managers (one for branding, one for website design), a strategist, a designer, a website designer, a team leader, a bid manager. Great service level!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

First the planning was very well respected, in line with what was discussed in the proposal. Second, the meetings were always very productive and the team listened to every detail of my feedback to make sure they would integrate the feedback in the project. Third : the outputs (company values, market positioning, design concept, ...) were 100% aligned with my expectations : it is like they connected immediately to the DNA of my project.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Awesome : great project managers with regular and precise communication. You feel someone is looking after you to make sure your project progresses as expected and always reaches out when there are questions to solve together.

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

I found the team composition awesome : project managers for the respect of planning/costs/scope, a strategist for the correct positioning of the company, graphic and web designers for the full implementation of the identity, a bid manager running the proposal cycle very smoothly -> every body was complementary making this an awesome team work. I also liked the energy and passion they put in their work and the feeling of working as a team!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing to add, all was so good!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Octopi Technologies is a trade automation & strategy back-testing software company. I am the founder and owner.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire League Design Agency?

We hired League for brand identity project. Initially I thought we just need a basic website but realized that we need multiple different ways to present ourselves online and decided to go with League Design.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Selection was done between a friend of ours that started to work on the project but fell behind on multiple deadlines and several contractors on Upwork.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project consisted of a fairly comprehensive brand identity work to come up with templates for multiple digital carriers for our software. Once the initial sales process was over which was very impressive, we begun doing "homework" stage of the process with league. They learned about our company through a series of tests and talking sessions that seemed strange for somebody that isn't art-minded - stick through this and don't doubt the process!

After the first concept created, it all made sense and League team put my worries to rest for the rest of the project. The final deliverables were excellent quality work - something we are really proud to use for years to come!

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

In total, about 4 people. Three after initial sales stage, and two towards the end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are a startup, so by far the only success as it relates to this project is ability to present ourselves to the world, which League certainly helped us with. Hoping for more success in a little bit!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I'd say we made excellent use of our time and theirs. The project was promised to take about days and that's exactly where we landed on timeframes. Nothing was ever late, nobody ever waited on the other side.

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

It's in the question. League's whole deal is making Unique and Impressive designs for their clients. I am happy we found them!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The beginning stages of research freaked me out. It seemed like money was being spent for unnecessary work but that feeling went away after initial design concepts were delivered. League has a good work structure, I can't honestly think of any way to improve it. Keep it up!
