Typical Investment
The full range at a glance. Most rebrands are a complete identity system in the middle band.
Brand Refresh
$8k – $18k
Evolve, don't reinvent
Sharpen a brand that mostly works: a refined mark, an updated color and type system, and a cleaner guideline set.
Full Rebrand
$20k – $45k
A complete identity
A new identity system built from strategy up: mark, messaging, and the full application suite your team needs to show up consistently.
Rebrand + Website
$50k+
Brand and site together
A rebrand delivered alongside a new website and digital rollout, so every touchpoint lands at the same moment.
After launch, keep the brand consistent as you grow: templates, asset management, and design on call.
from ~$1,000/moWhat Moves the Number
Two organizations can get very different quotes for good reasons. These are the factors that decide where a rebrand lands in the ranges above.
A refresh reuses your existing equity; a full rebrand rebuilds the system from strategy up. The gap between them is the single biggest cost driver.
Stakeholder interviews, member research, and competitive audits add rigor and cost, but they de-risk the result and speed buy-in.
Renaming means naming strategy, trademark screening, and domain work: a project inside the project. Most rebrands keep the name.
Every place the brand appears (deck, signage, reports, merch, social, email) is a design deliverable. More surfaces, more cost.
Boards and committees mean more review cycles. More approvals means more time, which shows up in the number.
Launching the new brand across a website, print, and digital at once is its own workstream, and often worth it for the moment.

A refresh evolves what you already have: a refined logo, an updated color and type system, and cleaner guidelines, for roughly $8,000 to $18,000. A full rebrand rebuilds the identity from strategy up, with new messaging and a complete application suite, for roughly $20,000 to $45,000.
Usually not. Most rebrands keep the name and rework the identity, messaging, and experience around it. Naming is a separate add-on we scope only when the current name genuinely no longer fits the mission.
A brand refresh typically runs 4 to 8 weeks. A full rebrand runs 8 to 16 weeks depending on how much research and how many stakeholder review rounds are involved.
Handled well, no. We roll out deliberately so member recognition carries over, and for anything digital we migrate carefully with redirects so your search equity moves with you rather than being lost.
Yes. Many nonprofits phase a rebrand: the identity system first, then the website and collateral, which spreads the investment across budget cycles without losing momentum.
