Brand design in Bath
Your identity needs to work across trade stands, client pitches and heritage conservation scrutiny. We build brands that look established from day one, with naming, logo, type, colour and guidelines designed for immediate credibility.
Brand design for Bath businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure success by function: does your identity work on print and signage under scrutiny? Can your team and suppliers use guidelines independently? Do new clients recognise you as established? We check in after launch and review annually whether the identity still serves your market and your buyers' expectations.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Why established brands matter in Bath
Bath attracts serious buyers. Software engineers evaluate your credibility before they call. Hospitality guests form opinions in seconds. Tourism operators expect polish. A rushed identity undermines everything you'll build afterward. Your brand needs to survive close reading from people trained to spot weak thinking and poor execution.
Signage here sits in a World Heritage city. Print collateral reaches professionals and visitors with high expectations. Your identity must work on sandstone and on screen, in boardrooms and on trade stands, without hedging or overclaim. Restraint and craft do the work. Visitors and clients know the difference.
What you receive, built to last
Naming support that fits your sector and market. Logo and custom type designed for legibility at scale and screen size. Colour palette tested for contrast and reproduction across print, signage and digital. Guidelines that cover your most-used touchpoints: business cards, email signatures, signage templates, social profiles, and how your identity handles partner logos and third-party use.
Collateral templates you can run with independently: letterheads, invoice layouts, presentation slides, email signatures. We hand over files in formats that your team and your suppliers can actually use. Guidelines written plainly, not as design theatre. You own everything outright.
Built for how Bath businesses operate
Your year has seasons, bookings move online, and planning permission takes time. Your identity needs to stay credible through term time, peak tourism, and quiet months. We build brands stable enough to outlast trends and flexible enough to work across your whole operation: website, print, signage, trade materials and internal use. No rebuilds when seasons change.
Bath's software and publishing sectors compete globally. Your hospitality and retail operate locally but serve international visitors. Your brand identity needs to work across both audiences: credible to the engineer reviewing your pitch, immediate to the tourist scanning a shopfront. One identity. Two worlds.
How we work and what happens next
Discovery: we learn your market, your competitors, what your buyers expect and where your identity will live most visibly. Concept and refinement: we show you named options with logo, type and colour. Once you're set, we build out full guidelines and collateral templates. Handover happens in a single session: we walk you through the files, show you how to use them, and answer questions about variations and edge cases.
We measure success by whether your brand functions: does it work on print and signage? Does it feel established to people in your sector? Can your team and suppliers use the guidelines without calling us back? A year in, we check in: has your identity held up? Does it still serve your market? If it does, it was built right.

Brand design in Bath — common questions
Will this work with Bath's planning rules for signage?
We design identities that work within conservation constraints. Colour palettes, type choices and logo proportions are tested for materials and finishes that comply with local planning. Your guidelines will note what works on stone, what works on digital, and where flexibility sits.
How long does brand identity take?
Eight to twelve weeks from brief to handover. Discovery and concept usually takes four weeks. Refinement and full build-out takes another four to eight weeks. We don't rush the thinking part, but we don't add delay for its own sake.
Can you help with naming if we don't have one yet?
Yes. We explore names that work in your sector, check domain and trademark availability, and test how they perform on print and signage. Naming support sits at the front of the project. Logo and identity follow once naming is locked.
What if we need to update this in two years?
Guidelines are written to last. Most updates are minor: adding a new colour for a new product line, extending the logo to work with a new partnership. Major rebuilds are rare if the original thinking was sound. We can refresh with you if the market shifts.
Do you design the website too, or just the brand identity?
Brand identity only: naming, logo, type, colour, guidelines and collateral templates. Website design sits outside this service. We can recommend designers or agencies in Bath who work well with brand guidelines we've written.
How do you handle print and signage files for suppliers?
Guidelines include file formats your printers and sign makers actually need: vector files for logo variants, colour specifications in Pantone and CMYK, type recommendations with fallbacks. We brief your suppliers directly if needed, so nothing gets lost in translation.
