Branding and product design that isn't bland
Design is Unbland's brand and product design service: brand identity, UI/UX, and design systems built by a senior team, not a template mill. We shape how your product looks, feels, and behaves — from logo to live interface — and hand you every source file. Brand and design-only engagements start from $10,000.

What does a brand and product design studio actually do?
A brand and product design studio shapes how a company looks and how its product feels to use. At Unbland that means two connected things: brand identity — the name, logo, type, color, and voice that make you recognizable — and product design, the UI/UX and design systems that turn that identity into screens people can actually navigate. Everything is built by a senior six-person team on fixed-price scopes, and you own every source file, from editable Figma to final exported assets.
What's included in a brand identity project?
A brand identity project from Unbland covers the full system a brand needs to show up consistently — not just a logo. We research your market and audience, define positioning, and design a complete visual and verbal identity you can hand to any designer or developer afterward. Brand and design-only engagements start from $10,000, and you leave owning the editable Figma files, exported assets, and guidelines.
- Logo suite, typography, and color system
- Brand guidelines + usage documentation
- Voice, messaging, and naming direction
- Social, deck, and marketing templates
- Editable Figma files + exported assets you own
What is design system development, and do I need one?
Design system development means building a reusable library of components, tokens, and rules — buttons, forms, spacing, color, type — so every screen stays consistent and new features ship faster. You need one once your product has more than a handful of screens or more than one person building the UI; without it, interfaces drift and engineers rebuild the same button ten times. Unbland delivers design systems as a standalone project or as part of a Production MVP, handing over the Figma library plus documentation your team can extend on its own.
How much does branding and design cost?
Unbland's brand and design-only projects start from $10,000 on a fixed price — you know the number before we begin, and there's no hourly billing. What sits inside that scope depends on how much you need: a focused visual identity, a full brand system, or product UI/UX plus a design system. Design bundled into a full product build starts higher, and every engagement includes handover of the source files.
- Brand / design-only project — from $10,000 (fixed price)
- Design system — scoped standalone or inside a build
- Design inside a Production MVP — from $12,000
- Design + full-stack SaaS build — from $30,000
How long does a branding or design project take?
Most Unbland projects run 6 to 10 weeks, and design work sits in that same window. A focused brand identity typically lands at the shorter end of the range, while a full identity plus a product design system takes longer. When design is part of a Production MVP, it runs in parallel with the build so the whole product ships in 6 to 8 weeks. You get a fixed timeline alongside your fixed price before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions
- What makes Unbland different from a typical brand identity agency?
- We're a senior-only team of six co-founders — no juniors, no account layers — so the people who scope your brand are the ones who design it. Design-only projects run on fixed prices from $10,000, most delivered in 6 to 10 weeks, and you own every source file at the end. Since 2023 we've worked with clients across 10+ countries, including the UK, UAE, and US.
- Can you handle UI/UX design as well as branding?
- Yes — product design is half of what we do. We design the full interface and user experience, then package it into a reusable design system so your product stays consistent as it grows. UI/UX can be a standalone project or bundled into a Production MVP that ships in 6 to 8 weeks from $12,000.
- Do you build design systems, and can my team extend it later?
- We do. We deliver a full component library, design tokens, and documentation in Figma, structured so your designers and engineers can add to it without breaking consistency. A design system can be scoped on its own or built as part of a product engagement, and you own the editable files outright.
- How much does branding cost at Unbland?
- Brand and design-only projects start from a fixed $10,000, so you know the price before we begin and never pay hourly. The exact figure depends on scope — a focused visual identity, a full brand system, or brand plus a product design system. Design bundled into a full-stack SaaS build starts from $30,000.
- What do I actually own when the project is finished?
- Everything. You get the editable Figma files, exported brand assets, guidelines, and documentation — plus source code if the project included a build. We include a 30-day handover call and 30 days of support, so nothing about your brand or product stays locked to us.
