Ethical Design Co.

A print and digital design agency that cares.

Creative branding and logo design for business, corporate, event or campaign branding projects.

We offer a variety of straightforward and affordable branding services for businesses and organisations of all sizes.

We can help with anything from just a logo to a full brand and communications design suite that includes a comprehensive brand guidelines document. The development of strong and memorable visuals that represent your brand will help you to reach your target audience effectively, and communicate your value to the world. Branding is about much more than just a logo, it’s a complete visual language.

What does a logo design project involve?

No matter the size of your business or organisation, the development of a strong, memorable logo that represents your brand will help you to reach your target audience much more effectively, and communicate your commercial value to the world. A logo project would typically include:

  • Logo research & briefing: understanding your target audiences and vision
  • Logo design: files packaged and provided in various formats
  • Brand style tile: development of a 1 – 2-page PDF that shows colour palette and typography information
  • Logo submark: usually used as favicon for web or as a watermark on branded documents
  • Trees planted on your behalf: with our trusted suppliers at Fifteen Trees

Your logo should be a core element of your overall brand identity. But your visual brand assets should not be limited to a logo on its own. Depending on your budget you may wish to start with a logo and then build on this down the track with, for example, business stationery, social media assets, marketing collateral, or a full branding suite.

Are you ready to get started on a logo project? Fill in our logo and brand design brief and we will send you a price estimate.

What does a full branding project involve?

A full branding package will provide a much more comprehensive suite of brand assets than a logo. Within a branding project we could accommodate some or all of the following deliverables:

  • Logo (as per above)
  • Business stationery: business cards and letterheads, envelopes, “with compliments” slips, presentation folders, pens and other promo items
  • Brand graphical assets: secondary brand imagery and a general visual language in the form of illustrations, vector graphics and an image library
  • Social media assets: avatar and banner images for Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn
  • Full brand/style guidelines: creation of comprehensive brand guidelines document including;
    • Audiences
    • Communication style, tone of voice and key messages
    • Logo, visual asset, font and colour style guide
    • Editorial conventions
    • Implementation/rollout plan
  • Marketing collateral: digital or printed materials to aid with the sales of a product or service such as brochures, pamphlets, promotional flyers
  • Company branded apparel and merchandise
  • Presentation templates: typically our clients ask for a template with various layouts for use across the organisation. We can use your preferred presentation software e.g. Powerpoint, InDesign, Prezi, Keynote, etc.
  • Shop signage and vehicle graphics
  • and so much more!

They have been an amazing partner who has helped on projects as large as our rebranding strategy for three brands, to brand guidelines to our quarterly reporting. In all of these projects, they have provided a fresh perspective/design that has been impressive. Working with them is professional and easy without a single deadline missed. I would recommend them for all design work."

    Celestial Sound
  • "The team at Ethical Design Co. designed the whole look and feel of our brand, something we are now proud to display. Because of the professionalism shown from the very first talks we had with them, we were able to put many creative decisions into their hands. When launching another business, I would not hesitate to get them involved from the very start. As a bonus, they deliver work on time too."

  • "As a specialist solutions consulting group that provides information and analytic services to our corporate clients, we engaged with Sonja Meyer to help add an additional level of professional design to our solutions.  From our very first engagement with Sonja we quickly realised that we received more than just her wonderful designs.  Other qualities like her professionalism, experience and fast turnaround have enriched our projects to a point where Sonja’s involvement has become a constant feature in our projects that have a high graphic or visualisation component."
    Zac Anstee

  • "Sonja has a fine eye for beauty. Her work is elegant and she has a remarkable capacity to reflect the taste of her clients. She is silken smooth to work with. She meets her deadlines, provides accurate information when required, contributes grace and intelligence to the development of every project. I am forever recommending her, and I recommend her again, here and now, to you."
    Donna Ward

  • "We often seek out Sonja’s assistance on UI/UX designs on particularly creative challenges that our internal designers get blocked on. Her work is always delivered timely and is always above the quality expected. Every time we deliver Sonja’s designs to a client they are blown away."
    Joe McCord

  • "Sonja has been our go-to designer for all our web-based needs, designing our web platform from initial mock-ups to a fully functioning product. She is a thoughtful, and nimble designer responding to our requirements and our user’s needs whilst retaining a clear vision for simple, engaging and user-friendly design. She manages to fit in with the fast-paced demands of an early stage start-up whilst continually creating beautiful designs for us. I would thoroughly recommend Sonja as a partner in design and we feel lucky to have found her!"

  • "As the owner of a small business and a design novice, it's been a pleasure to deal with EDCo. Their designs met my brief perfectly, making my business branding a breeze. Sonja is exceptionally professional and her designs are elegant. Over the years I have been in business I have always chosen to return to Sonja for any design needs. Her work has always been delivered well within deadlines with the assurance that all measures have been taken with environmental sustainability in mind - giving me peace of mind as well as strong branding. Thank you Sonja!"
    Angela O’Toole
    The Art of Eating
  • "Sonja has worked closely with me in designing our circa 30-page pitch deck, investor summary slides, and other multi-page presentations needed to pitch key partners. She also designed, top to bottom, our crowd funding page. Sonja is an incredible designer, but she also is a great instructor too. Most importantly, Sonja is a pleasure to work with. There’s no BS, she is prompt and hardworking. Her performance has been consistently high and turnaround quick whether she’s working from home base in Melbourne or from a remote island in Vietnam. We will continue to use her services for the foreseeable future."
