Brand & Identity Design

Watson was founded by a brand designer. Not a developer. Not an Account Manager. Design is the root system here—and identity is where we thrive. From global names like Disney to local B2B and B2C brands (and the underappreciated B2E in between), we’ve built identities that scale, flex, and stick. Stewarding a brand isn’t just about making it beautiful. It’s about making it work.

A good identity tells the truth. A great one helps people feel it.

Building Identity Systems with Range and Rigor

Your brandmark isn’t just a logo—it’s a launchpad. We develop logo and wordmark systems that perform across environments, from Instagram squares to building signage. We build responsive marks, smart lockups, and adaptive logic for digital and print contexts. Whether you need something that lives big on a screen or small on a badge, we consider scale, clarity, and purpose.

Planning a brand evolution? We also support brandmark transition strategies to help teams shift smoothly without losing equity or confidence.

Visual Systems & Expression

Consistency doesn’t mean sameness—it means cohesion. We create visual systems that bring personality and structure to every touchpoint. Typography, color, pattern, photography, illustration, motion—we consider how each element can reinforce your identity without overpowering it.

We often collaborate with client teams to direct photo, video, and animation content that aligns with the broader system and narrative. For teams building out content pipelines, we offer flexible templates and training.

The wider the lens,
the sharper the view.

By intention, we work across industries—because depth matters, but so does breadth. Range fuels fresh thinking. Creative tension sparks better questions. And curiosity? That’s where the breakthroughs begin.

Guidelines, Application & Impact Assets

Brand guidelines are more than rules—they’re working tools. We develop visual and verbal systems that help teams apply your brand with clarity, confidence, and consistency. These aren’t documents that gather dust; they’re built to be used—daily, across departments, and by partners who need to get it right the first time.

Beyond the guide, we bring your brand to life through high-impact assets: business systems like cards, email signatures, and letterhead; presentation decks and pitch templates; social graphics, newsletters, advertising layouts, signage, and wayfinding. For clients evolving their digital presence, we often lead with creative direction and systematized web components — ensuring every touchpoint looks and feels unmistakably yours.

It's different here.

From Portland to Bend, Seattle to Sausalito—our teams are spread across the West Coast, nestled between forests, surf breaks, and the occasional volcano. The kind of landscape that fuels bold ideas and creative mischief.
