Giving new life to your brand means sending a strong signal to your customers and to your market. It is an opportunity to redefine who you are, to make an impression and to align your image with your ambitions. But behind every transformation lies a big question: How much is it going to cost?

This article is written by Studio Elias, a branding agency, certified Webflow partner. We rethink our customers' brands in 3 steps: Positioning, Visual Identity, Showcase Site. Contact us to discover our packages and get a quote

Whether you're hesitating between a freelancer or an agency, or looking to understand what's behind the numbers, this article takes you through the various options, steps, and rates. And because at Studio Elias, our objective is to combine transparency and creativity, we explain to you how we adapt our offers to your needs to support you.

Why invest in rebranding?

Your brand identity is your signature.

Imagine that your brand is a person. Its logo, colors, typography, and communication tone are its clothing, attitude, and voice. Now ask yourself the question: does your business still reflect the image you want? If the answer is “not really,” it might be time to go through the rebranding box.

Investing in rebranding is much more than simply changing your logo or refreshing your visuals. It is an opportunity to lay a solid foundation to reposition your business in the market, capture the attention of new customers and win back those who might have forgotten you. In short, it's the kind of investment that can transform your business from head to toe.

Refresh or complete rebranding: two budgets, two stories

We're not going to lie to each other: rebranding can be expensive. But it all depends on your expectations. If your logo dates from a time when Nokias were still clamshell, a graphic refresh may be enough. We adjust a few colors, we modernize the fonts, and presto, let's go again! But be careful, this type of facelift has its limits.

One complete rebranding, on the other hand, it is something else. We're reviewing everything: strategic positioning, visual identity, tone of voice, customer experience... This is the option to choose if you want to align your brand with new goals, attack a new market, or simply stand out in a world in which the competition never sleeps.

Investing today to grow tomorrow

Rebranding is like redecorating your home before selling it: it requires effort, but it can multiply your perceived value. A well-thought-out brand attracts customers, builds loyalty and builds lasting trust. So yes, it's a cost, but think of it as a critical step for the future of your business.

And if you're wondering how to avoid getting lost in this creative jungle, don't worry: at Studio Elias, we know exactly how to transform your ideas into a branding that will turn heads (and take your brand to the next level) . 😉

Freelance vs agency: which option for your project?

When it comes to rebranding, choosing the right partner is already taking a big step towards success. But then, is it better to contact a freelance or to a agency ? Spoiler: it all depends on your requirements, your resources and your ambition. Let's decipher all that.

Freelance: a solution for tight budgets

If your resources are limited, freelancing can be a good place to start. Serious and competent, some freelancers offer rates starting around €1,500 for a redesign of the graphic charter. But be careful, graphic redesign alone is not always enough. If you also need a brand strategy or a complete repositioning, it will often be necessary to call on another expert, doubling (or even tripling) the addition.

For more complex projects, experienced freelancers can offer services between 5,000 and 20,000 euros, according to the specifications. This is still an interesting option if you are ready to coordinate several providers and play the conductor. But let's be honest: juggling strategy, design, and deployment can quickly become a headache.

Branding agency: a turnkey solution

When you work with an agency, you benefit from comprehensive and integrated expertise. No need to recruit left and right, the agency takes care of everything: strategy, visual identity, digital deployment, and much more. All of this, with a consistency that makes the difference.

Agency rates generally start around €5,000 for the most competitive and can go up to €30,000 to €50,000 for high-end agencies. If you are a large company with very specific needs, such as an international deployment, the amounts allocated can reach several hundreds of thousands of euros.

Freelance or agency: how to choose?

  • Do you have a tight budget and specific needs? Freelancing may be an appropriate solution, but be prepared to coordinate multiple stakeholders if necessary.
  • Are you looking for an all-in-one, ready-to-use solution? The agency is ideal for guaranteeing consistency and results that match your ambitions.
Chez Studio Elias, we combine the best of both worlds:
  • An approach tailoring that adapts to your budget and priorities.
  • A team of experts in strategy, design and digital, for a coherent and impacting rebranding.

So, ready to transform your brand without tearing your hair out?

How does an agency calculate its price?

1. Strategy: lay a solid foundation

Before drawing a logo or choosing a color, one crucial question must be answered: Who are you and where do you want to go?

Strategy is the stage where we take the time to define:

  • Your positioning : What position do you want to occupy in the market?
  • Your personality : What values, what tone of voice?
  • Your brand platform : A compass that guides all your communication.
At Studio Elias, this step also includes the Naming, the Copywriting and the writing of a overt for an authentic and striking brand.

Estimated price: 3,000 to 10,000 euros, depending on the scope of work.

2. Identity: giving a face to your brand

Let's move on to the fun part: the visual identity. This is where we create everything that will get your brand recognized at a glance:

  • One logo unique and memorable.
  • One typography appropriate to your personality.
  • One color palette that reflects your values.
  • Graphic elements such as illustrations, photographs, or even 3D animations.

Every detail is designed to ensure perfect harmony across all of your supports. Estimated price: 2,000 to 20,000 euros, depending on the complexity of the project and the reputation of the designer.

3. Experience: connecting your brand to its audience

A beautiful identity is not enough if it is not well deployed. This is where the user experience (UX/UI) comes into its own:

  • Design of a website upon Webflow, designed to be efficient in SEO.
  • Wireframes and prototypes for smooth navigation.
  • Custom animations (hello GSAP) for interactive rendering.
  • Training and maintenance so your team can easily manage everything.
At Studio Elias, we are a certified partner Webflow, and that makes all the difference.

Estimated cost: 5,000 to 25,000 euros, depending on the functionalities required and the size of the site.

Why do these prices vary?

  1. The time passed : A simple project does not require as many hours as a complex deployment.
  2. The resources mobilized : The more experts involved (strategist, designer, developer, etc.), the more the price increases.
  3. The level of personalization : A tailor-made brand identity is always more expensive than a generic model.
