Vibes Don’t Scale. Brands Do.
The designer you hire will either build your brand or just decorate it.
Read time: under a minute
Most founders don’t need another “cool” logo.
They need someone who gets their vision and knows how to build a brand around it.
But here’s the trap:
Many founders hire stylists instead of stewards.
The stylist makes it pretty.
The steward makes it profitable.
Here’s how to tell the difference:
Stylist:
• Asks for inspiration boards
• Focuses on color palettes
• Works in isolation
• Delivers a logo file
Steward:
• Asks about business goals
• Challenges your assumptions
• Builds a system, not a style
• Delivers a full brand system with guidelines
A stylist can give you a vibe.
A steward gives you a vehicle that drives your business forward.
If you’re thinking long-term, then you need a brand that grows with you, not one that just looks good now.
Choose the brand designer who builds with your future in mind.
