Brand Building
What's Your Vibe?

If your brand name is the verbal representation of your cannabis brand, your logo is the flag you wave, loud and proud. It lends credibility, tells potential customers who you are and what you do, and hints at your brand’s personality. Whether your tone is clever, ironic, or light-hearted, we’ll weave together your brand attitudes, values, and vision in a clear, cohesive way. We’ll establish your edge and develop your cannabis brand with longevity and purpose in mind.

Logo Design
Taglines + Trademarks
