Branding studio based in Los Angeles
We are a branding studio based in Los Angeles. We help our clients define their brand, create a brand identity, marketing collaterals, websites, and applications to help them grow.
While large companies focus on polishing their existing image, startups are building a new brand from scratch. Regardless of how much you invest in marketing, all efforts will be in vain without a proper branding strategy - so why not start on the right foot.
The Digital Age is relentless. Modern businesses need to create winning impressions at every juncture, or risk missing out on precious opportunities. Consumers can access mountains of information at the click of a button or tap on the screen. They won’t hesitate to move on to something better. Consumers can easily distinguish the brands that care and those that don’t.
Your brand identity is the personality of your business, its soul. Marketing is the body, the shell that is albeit nice to admire but offers no real attraction without what lies deep inside. Don’t lose customers from a lapse in your branding strategy. Give your marketing a boost with dedicated branding and elevate those ROIs.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the owner and founder of a signature cookie shop. We are opening our first shop in Del Mar, California. We hope to expand our shops and brand nationwide.
For what projects/services did your company hire Pill Creative Studio?
We hired Pill Creative to help us come up with our initial branding We had a few other designers work on our initial branding package and liked the basic concepts of what they came up with. But we wanted to have our branding and messaging to be more clear, simple, and more modern. Veronika at Pill Creative delivered exactly what we wanted in a very short period of time.
What were your goals for this project?
We are a start up, so we were starting our branding from scratch. We needed Pill Creative to listen to our goals and help us come up with a Brand and logo the represented us and our product. Veronika at Pill Creative designed our entire branding package and standards. Everything we needed from Font, Colors, Graphics, Icons, Signage, Window Wraps, uniforms, etc.
How did you select this vendor?
I had used a few designers and was not completely satisfied with what they came up with. I finally turned to Upwork and was able to find Veronika at Pill Creative. Veronika listened to what I needed and what I wanted to create. She then took a couple days to give me an example of her work and her ideas. I loved what she came up with and knew she would be the best fit for my project!
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
Through a series of meetings and brain storming sessions, Veronika was able to deigned our Branding package including our Logo, Color Scheme, tag lines, slogans, etc. She created different files for all logos and graphic s to be applied to signage, websites, window wraps, uniforms, t-shirts, stickers, trademarks, etc.
What was the team composition?
We are a start up, so our team was small. It was myself, my business partner, and Veronika at Pill Creative.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
I have received many compliments on my branding and design. Many other business owners I know have actually asked me for Pill Creatives contact info. so they can work with them as well!
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Very effective. She met all deadlines and had exceptional communication.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
What I found most impressive what Veronika's ability to listen to what I wanted and my vision and was able to execute what I need the first attempt. She also has excellent communication skills. She would answer my calls when I called her, and if she was not available she would text me and tell me she was on a call and that she would call me right back.
Veronika hit her deadlines, and always delivered what I needed. She is patient when I couldnt make up my mind, always provided options, and works fast. She is the MOST technical designer I have ever worked with. Veronika is able to do what most others designers told me could not be done. She finds a way to do it, and if she doesnt know how, she finds out! I always got what I needed from her!
Are there any areas for improvement?
The only area of improvement I can think of is to balance the work load a little better which I am sure is hard to do with multiple deadlines and clients all demanding different designs and applications.

Logo Design & Branding for Route Management Software Company
"Pill Creative Studio, on the whole, has outperformed."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the VP of a software company that specializes in route management.
What challenge were you trying to address with Pill Creative Studio?
We needed an outside vendor to guide us through logo design and branding for our company.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Pill Creative Studio is responsible for all aspects of our branding effort. They’ve created a logo as well as a branding slide deck on PowerPoint, where we were able to choose from a menu of design options.
The team also works on our website design.
The project is currently on hold as we await some staffing changes on the executive level, but we plan to continue the engagement as soon as possible.
How did you come to work with Pill Creative Studio?
Originally, we’d hired another agency for the web design aspect of the project, but we weren’t satisfied with their deliverables. Despite only having hired Pill Creative Studio for the logo design, we decided to assign them the web design project as well.
Their turnaround time was quick, and we were impressed with the work they were already doing. Additionally, we appreciated their relatively low costs.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve invested about $2,500 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working with them in September 2019, and the work, though momentarily paused for now, is still ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Pill Creative Studio, on the whole, has outperformed. The design work is extremely high quality, and we’ve been consistently impressed by how quickly they can deliver, especially on the web design project.
How did Pill Creative Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
They’ve managed the project excellently.
We’ve never had to chase anyone down to get ahold of them, and the team was always on top of their assignments. While they keep us updated on timelines, Pill Creative Studio typically provides us with content faster than when we’re expecting to receive it.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality and response time really stand out to us compared with the other vendors we’ve worked with for similar services.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing that stands out as something they could’ve done better.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of Petro Head Corporation, a film company that specializes in advertising commercials.
What challenge were you trying to address with Pill Creative Studio?
We were looking for a graphic designer and person to take care of our website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
I provided the wireframes, and Veronica (Graphic Designer, Pill Creative Studio) came up with the concepts. I told her that I needed a fresh, modern look that represented what I do. She took it from there.
Since we make commercials, I told Veronica that I needed something visual with no words. She came up with something similar to an Instagram TV layout that’s easy to navigate.
What is the team composition?
I work with Veronica.

After getting in touch with Veronica, we decided to work with her. I liked her attitude, and she seemed ready to go the extra mile.

Our engagement with Pill Creative Studio started in June 2019.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
It’s a work in progress, but the site is easy to use. Veronica continues helping us update the website with new videos. She was focused on the project rather than money. Even when I asked her for a few reviews, she didn’t charge me. She takes care of her clients. I love the energy.
How did Pill Creative Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
From a project management standpoint, it’s good. I can email or text her on the weekends, and she answers immediately.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I appreciated their attitude the most.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, everything was pretty good.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommended Veronica to my brother, who was making a website for his business. They’re already working together. It’s nice to know that I have someone that I can actually recommend.

Our name is Bad Apple Collective and we’re a creative production company. So we have a full in-house marketing that can do everything from production to creative services to strategy.

They do a lot of different things, like ongoing client decks and video content. Their main responsibilities are web development and graphic design, but they do some social media stuff as well.
She did our website—they designed everything. We just gave them a site map of what we wanted it to look like, but they did everything else. They used WordPress. Our client portal is password protected and can go see case studies, which was a custom build-out and that was key to the project. They also integrated video and did copywriting as well.

I mainly dealt with Veronika (Graphic Designer, Pill Creative Studio)

I met Veronika through another job we were working on. We got along and so I decided to hire her for graphic design.

They’re good. We only had to tell them things one time and don’t need to give a lot of direction. We rarely have to edit anything, so it’s great. When they say they’re going to do something, they get it done and it works. They definitely meet deadlines.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They go above and beyond the job that’s asked. If we ask for A, B, and C, they’ll do A, B, C, and D. So, I really like that.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, we work well together.
