What should you not forget in a brand rebranding quote?

Rebranding is more than just changing the logo or choosing new colors. It's a complete transformation that should reflect the vision, values, and ambitions of your business. And all this is based on a crucial starting point: a clear, precise and well-thought-out quotation, capable of giving life to a brand identity strong and consistent.

At Studio Elias, we strongly believe that successful rebranding is not limited to aesthetics. It's a strategic process that starts with a thorough understanding of who you are and what sets you apart in the marketplace. In other words, it's about creating an image that perfectly embodies who you are and what you represent.

So how do you recognize a serious quote that will really help you reach your goals? Spoiler: there's much more than a logo in the equation. Trust an expert agency and discover in this article everything that makes a difference! 🚀

A clear methodology, a guarantee of quality rebranding

Without a clear plan, you may get lost along the way. This is why a solid methodology is essential for a rebranding that leaves nothing to chance.

Why does each agency have its own recipe?

Each agency has its own method, and this is no coincidence. At Studio Elias, we have our Golden Circle, inspired by Simon Sinek, who guides each project. The idea is simple: we start by answering the why — the raison d'être of your brand —, then at how, before moving on to What.

This approach ensures that your rebranding is based on a solid and consistent foundation, aligned with your values and goals. If an agency offers you to “just redo a logo” without asking yourself these questions, run away!

The essentials to include in a quote

Good rebranding is not just about design, it's also about introspection and analysis. Here's what a serious quote should include:

  • Strategic interviews : Understand your vision, goals, and brand DNA. We talk to you, your team, and sometimes even your customers to get to the heart of what makes your brand unique.
  • An analysis of the competition : Because you need to know where you are in the market to better stand out. Who are your direct competitors? What codes do they use? How can your brand shine in this environment?
  • A detailed brief : It's the spine. This document contains the challenges, objectives and guidelines for each stage of rebranding. In short, it's your GPS.

Why is it so important?

Because a rebranding without methodology may not last very long. A clear method ensures that each step of the process is aligned with your overall strategy, for a result that is both beautiful, functional, and impactful.

Opt for a complete brandbook (and not just a nice graphic chart)

A brandbook is much more than just a document that can be sent by email or printed to look good. It's the A true identity guide for your brand, a strategic tool that ensures that every element of your interaction is aligned and consistent. In other words, it should never “gather dust” but be the indispensable companion for all your marketing actions.

What is a good brandbook?

A good brandbook is a compass for your brand. It is not limited to a logo and three colors, but encompasses everything that makes up your identity, from your tone of voice to your projections on various communication media. It should be lively, practical and inspiring, designed to be used, not forgotten. It is an important tool to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of your marketing strategy.

The essential elements:

  • Unique catchphrases : Because a brand is not just a logo, it is also a personality. Your brandbook should include compelling catchphrases that are designed to reflect your DNA and captivate your audience. These elements provide a clear and memorable identity for your brand.
  • Custom illustrations, icons and photos : Exit generic image banks! Your brandbook should offer personalized visuals that reinforce your identity and stand out from the cliches seen everywhere. This goes well beyond the simple graphic charter and gives your brand a unique and recognizable dimension.
  • Motion design rules : Today, a modern brandbook includes guidelines for animations, whether they are videos, transitions, or micro-interactions. These animated elements are not only aesthetic, they play a key role in your digital communication strategy.
  • Projections on various supports : A good brandbook doesn't stop at the basics. It forecasts how your brand is expressed on social networks, in your customer presentations, on your website or even in your packaging. This is where the graphic charter comes to life and extends to cover all marketing and communication needs.

A well-thought-out brandbook is much more than a static document: it is a real roadmap for giving your brand its full potential. 🎯

An inspiring example: the BigBuddy brandbook

At Studio Elias, we had the pleasure of creating the brandbook of BigBuddy, a brand that is redefining financial education. Their brandbook includes everything: catchphrases that capture their family tone, custom illustrations, and clear motion design rules. You can also discover a preview in our showreel available on our site.

A comprehensive brandbook is the guarantee of a strong, coherent brand that is ready to shine on all fronts. And if you want yours, we are here to create it with you. 😉

Coherence and consistency: the two keys to a successful rebranding

Rebranding is not just a question of design or an isolated strategy. It is a harmony between all the elements that make up your brand. And to succeed in this transformation, two words are essential: coherence and consistency.

Consistency: Everything must be linked

A successful rebranding is a brand where everything fits together perfectly, from the logo to the communication strategy. Each item should tell the same story and reflect the same vision.

Why is it crucial? Imagine a puzzle where each piece comes from a different game. You get a happy mess, but certainly not a clear and impactful image. This is exactly what happens when you entrust your rebranding to several providers who do not communicate with each other.

Consistency: A good brand, well deployed

You can have the most beautiful logo and an incredibly stylish visual identity, but if the deployment is unsuccessful, everything falls apart. Consistency is the art of maintaining the same quality and the same message, regardless of the channel or medium used.

  • Why does that count? Let's take a simple example: a superb graphic charter applied to your website, but botched social networks. Result? Your audience is lost and your image suffers.

The final objective: A strong and impacting brand

Consistency creates credibility, and consistency builds that credibility at every point of contact with your customers. Together, these two pillars ensure that your brand shines and stays memorable no matter where it's expressed.

How much does a rebrand cost?

Ah, the big question: how much does it cost to rebrand your brand? If you're hoping for a simple answer, sorry to disappoint you, because rebranding is not a standardized expense. It is an investment that can transform your business, strengthen your reputation and permanently seduce your customers. But be careful, everything depends on the extent of your ambitions, the quality sought and the expected results.

Market prices: what to expect?

To give you an idea, here are the main price ranges according to the type of project and business:

  1. Minimalist projects: from €5,000
  2. At this price, you usually get the basics: a new logo, a color palette, and a simplified graphic charter. This may be appropriate for a small business looking to refresh its image without revising its entire strategy.
  3. But let's be honest: they remain limited in terms of overall impact and consistency across all of your communication media. They are not enough for one brand rebranding integral, which requires further strategic thinking.
  4. Complete rebrandings: between €10,000 and €30,000
  5. It is in this bracket that serious and impacting companies are located. You benefit from a brand rebranding strategy total, a coherent visual identity and projections on different communication media (website, social networks, internal documents, etc.).
  6. These projects also include differentiating elements such as custom illustrations, icon banks, and motion design rules.
  7. In short: perfect for ambitious businesses that want a rebranding that can propel them to another level. If you are hesitant to take the plunge, we are here to help you understand your needs and build a project that suits you.
  8. International rebrandings: several hundreds of thousands of euros
  9. Here, we are talking about large-scale businesses, with global projects involving a complete overhaul. These budgets include extensive market research, consumer testing, large-scale marketing campaigns, and large-scale production.
  10. It is the option for multinationals looking to redefine their identity on several continents, with a strategy of brand rebranding which aims to unify their global presence across all their communication media.
Advice: If the quote is similar to the price of a hamburger menu, go your own way. Your brand deserves much more than a “hasty” rebrand.

  • Tailor-made support : We work hand in hand with you to ensure that each element of your rebranding is consistent, relevant and deployed effectively across all your media.

Why invest in rebranding?

  • Attracting new customers by strengthening your position on the market.
