What changes when it is automotive

Positioning comes before visuals. An identity that looks excellent and says the wrong thing about the business is a well-executed mistake.

In automotive, tier-one supply chains demand traceability on every part and every process. That single fact reshapes how brand identity design has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is visual quality inspection, usually integrated against telematics platforms. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Can it inspect painted surfaces?

Yes, and paint defect detection is one of the harder vision problems, lighting control matters more than model choice. We assess your line conditions before committing to accuracy targets.

What about warranty fraud?

Pattern analysis across claims, parts and dealers surfaces anomalies for investigation, with explanations attached to each flag.

How much should a logo cost?

The spread is enormous because the deliverable varies enormously. A mark alone is one thing; a full system with guidelines, applications and source files is another. We quote against a defined deliverable list.

Do we own the files?

Completely, source files, fonts licensing guidance and full rights transferred on completion. There is no ongoing licence.

When should we rebrand?

When the business has genuinely changed, or the identity actively works against you. Rebranding because of boredom is expensive and resets recognition you already earned.
