A logo that holds up on a van
Many tradespeople’s logos work on screen and collapse at large scale or embroidered on a cap. We design for the difficult formats first, then come back down to the small ones.
The studio is in the village. A logo gets settled around a table, not over three weeks of emails.
In Attalens most businesses have an image that built itself: a logo drawn fifteen years ago by a relative, redrawn every time a file goes missing, applied differently on the van, the quote and the shop window. None of that shows while customers come by word of mouth. It shows the moment you have to convince someone who does not know you.
The studio is based here, in the village. In practice that means we can come and measure a sign, see the real colour of your van in daylight, and put three routes on the table rather than sending them as a PDF. That is what settles an identity project in a few weeks instead of letting it drag.
Many tradespeople’s logos work on screen and collapse at large scale or embroidered on a cap. We design for the difficult formats first, then come back down to the small ones.
Colours, typefaces, spacing, examples of good and bad use. Deliberately short: a guide you reread before ordering flyers beats a forty-page document nobody opens.
Vector files, exports, fonts and usage rights handed over on delivery, at no extra cost. A logo you cannot reuse without asking someone again is not really yours.
What is at stake here Becoming known beyond the village without losing local customers.
Seeing a sign in real life, comparing two shades in daylight, adjusting a curve while you watch: ten-minute moments that change a project, and that no agency can sell remotely.
Standing out means knowing what from. In the Veveyse, tradespeople’s logos look very much alike: the same blue, the same italic, the same stylised house. We know which to avoid because we pass them every day.
From the first conversation to delivery you talk to the person doing the drawing. No brief passed to a subcontractor you will never meet.
Quoted after a first conversation, at the same rate as anywhere: the price depends on how many materials it has to cover, never on the commune. A logo alone with its variants is a short project; a full identity with guidelines, vehicle livery and stationery is another. No travel charge, obviously.
Often no. In a village, a logo people have recognised for twenty years is an asset: throwing it away does more harm than good. When it can be repaired, we clean up the files, fix the colours and build what is missing around it. When it cannot, we say so clearly, with the reasons.
We design the livery and supply the files in the exact format the fitter asks for, with dimensions. The fitting is done by a local professional — that is their trade, not ours, and you pay nothing twice.
Three to eight weeks depending on scope. For a building-trade company we avoid starting in high season: between April and October approvals drag and the project stretches out. Winter is often the right moment.
