Brand design in Shoreditch
You've built something real. Your brand needs to reflect that. We design identities that work across print, signage and digital—built for how Shoreditch buyers and partners actually judge craft, and how your work scales.
Brand design for Shoreditch 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 identity work through application: how it performs across your live collateral, email templates, web and signage. We track partner and audience feedback, and monitor how consistently the guidelines are being applied as your team grows. No vanity metrics—just whether the work is holding up and staying recognisable.
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.
Sectors we work with in Shoreditch

Identity that reads as established on launch
Early stage in Shoreditch means meeting people who've seen dozens of pitches. Your brand has one moment to signal that you're serious. We design identities—naming, logo, colour, type, guidelines—that look like they've been operating for years. Not shiny or trendy. Solid.
This matters in print and signage most of all. A business card, a storefront, a trade show stand. These are where people form opinions about whether you're worth their time. We build brand systems that hold up under real-world scrutiny, across all the places your audience actually encounters you.
Work with design-literate buyers who commission the gaps
Shoreditch is full of studios, agencies and startups with strong in-house teams. Nobody here expects you to do everything. They expect you to do the things they can't—and to do them exceptionally well. You won't need to pitch service offerings. You'll spec what's needed and move.
This means no padding, no throwaway concepts, no pretending you're something you're not. We work with your constraints, understand what you've already decided, and focus entirely on the parts of your identity system that need outside expertise. Fast briefs, faster turnaround.
Guidelines that work across your studio or venture
When you grow from a studio to a network, or from idea to funded operation, your brand has to travel. Guidelines need to stay intact across different people using them, different markets, different applications. We document what works and what doesn't, so new team members and partners can apply it without guessing.
This is especially important in Shoreditch, where collaboration between studios, freelancers and partner agencies is constant. Clear, written guidelines prevent the slow decay that happens when four people interpret your identity four different ways. Your brand stays recognisable as you scale.
The work you can show, not just describe
Design work lives or dies on what people see. We treat your identity as a working system, not a presentation deck. That means testing it across the collateral you actually use—business cards, headed paper, signage, email templates, web. We show you how it lands, not how it looks in a PDF.
For buyers in Shoreditch, the craft has to be visible. No clever ideas that fall apart when they meet reality. No 'trust us, it works' pitches. The identity itself does the work. That's what gets you noticed and keeps you credible as you move forward.

Brand design in Shoreditch — common questions
How much of the identity work can we do in-house, and where should we bring you in?
That's your call. Some studios nail naming and type but need help with mark development or guidelines. Others have strong visual direction but need structured documentation. We spec the gaps, not the whole system. You set the scope.
Do you do full brand strategy and market positioning?
We provide naming support and positioning input to make sure your identity lands right. Full strategic consulting sits outside what we do. If you need that separately, we can point you toward specialists who run that process well.
How long does a typical project run?
Depends on scope. A mark and type system with guidelines usually runs 6–8 weeks. Naming work sits separately and moves faster. We brief tight and move at pace—no long approval chains. We work to your timeline, not a standard template.
What if we disagree on direction halfway through?
We build feedback loops early. You see work in progress, not finished concepts. If the direction isn't landing, we reset and move in a different direction. You're not paying for finished work you don't believe in.
Will this work in the other markets where we operate?
Yes, if it's built right. We design identities that travel across UK audiences first, then stress-test them against the markets you're actually targeting. Guidelines help partners overseas apply the system correctly, even if local adaptation is needed.
How do we know the identity is working once it's live?
We can't measure brand recognition as a number, but we can track how the identity performs on your actual channels—email, web, print response, partner feedback. We'll recommend what metrics matter for your business, and show you what's actually moving.
