Custom Logo Design · Mumbai
A logo process built on
discovery, not guesswork.
We work through discovery and visual direction, present concepts, refine the chosen direction, and hand over lockups and usage guidance with agreed export and source files. Design exploration is not trademark clearance — a similarity or legal availability check is your own responsibility, ideally with a qualified IP professional, before you adopt a mark. Broader visual design work outside logos is covered by our graphic design service.
Prateeksha provides custom logo and visual-identity design for Mumbai businesses — discovery and visual direction, concept presentation, refinement, lockups and usage guidance, and agreed export or source files. Design exploration is not trademark clearance; legal availability and registration checks are the client's own responsibility, ideally with a qualified IP professional. Broader visual communication design is a separate, dedicated service. No concept count, revision count, pricing, or performance outcome is guaranteed in advance.
Where logo projects go wrong
Most logo requests skip discovery and jump straight to concepts — then stall on scope and rights.
- 01
No discovery before concepts
Concepts get produced before audience, positioning and usage scenarios are actually understood.
- 02
Concept and revision counts assumed
Expectations drift when the number of concepts or refinement rounds was never written down.
- 03
Trademark risk ignored
A mark ships without anyone checking whether it resembles an existing registered trademark.
- 04
Font and stock licensing overlooked
A logo uses a licensed typeface or stock element with nobody accounting for the license cost or restriction.
- 05
File formats decided too late
The client needs a format that was never scoped, causing a rushed re-export after sign-off.
What a scoped approach changes
Discovery, concepts, refinement and files — each stage confirmed before the next begins.
We work through discovery and visual direction first, present concepts, refine the chosen direction, and hand over lockups, usage guidance, and agreed files — with concept and revision counts confirmed in your written proposal, not assumed. If what you actually need is broader visual design beyond a logo, that is handled by our graphic design service.
- Discovery and visual direction confirmed before concepts are produced
- Concept and revision counts written into your proposal, not assumed
- Design exploration treated as distinct from trademark clearance
- Font and stock-element licensing confirmed before use
- Final export and source formats agreed in writing
What this page covers
Logo and visual-identity work, stage by stage.
Each stage below is confirmed with you before the next begins — nothing here is a fixed universal package.
Discovery & visual direction
Confirmed first
Concept presentation
Count confirmed in proposal
Refinement
Rounds confirmed in proposal
Lockups & usage guidance
Formats confirmed in proposal
How a logo project runs
Discovery, concepts, refinement, files — with a legal boundary that stays honest throughout.
The exact scope depends on what your proposal confirms, not a fixed template applied to every project.
Discovery
Audience, positioning, competitors, and usage scenarios reviewed together to inform visual direction.
Concept presentation
Concepts presented with the reasoning behind each — count and format confirmed in your proposal.
Refinement
The chosen direction refined for legibility, balance and category fit, within the agreed revision rounds.
Lockups & guidance
Primary/secondary lockups and usage guidance delivered so the mark is used consistently.
Final files
Agreed export or source files delivered — legal availability and registration checks remain your own responsibility.
What changes
An unscoped logo request vs. a discovery-led process.
Both can technically produce a mark. The difference is whether direction, counts and rights were agreed before work started.
Scope & trademark boundary
What this page covers, and what it deliberately does not.
This route covers logo and visual-identity design — discovery, concept presentation, refinement, lockups, usage guidance, and agreed export or source files. It does not cover broader visual communication design; campaign assets, collateral, and layout work are handled separately by our graphic design service, and for banner-specific work see website banners.
Trademark boundary — please read this. Design exploration is not trademark clearance. Common geometric, typographic, and symbolic forms may resemble existing marks — this is a real risk inherent to logo design, not a failure on our part. You should conduct your own legal availability and registration checks before adopting any mark; we recommend a qualified IP or legal professional, and we do not offer trademark search or registration as an in-house capability. Deliverables are never represented as guaranteed unique or non-infringing.
Rights, licensing and approval. You must have the authority to use any logos, photos, copy, trademarks, fonts, stock assets, or other materials you supply. Fonts and stock elements require appropriate licenses — either you or we must secure them, and this carries separate costs and restrictions. Final source and export formats are confirmed in your proposal, not assumed as a fixed universal list. App-store and platform icon acceptance remains subject to each platform's own rules, not guaranteed by us. Your approval confirms factual accuracy and permission to publish. If AI-assisted assets are used, they go through human review under an agreed rights and disclosure policy. We do not fabricate people, endorsements, or customer testimonials in any deliverable.
Choose your starting point
Three ways to start, depending on what you already know.
Each is a legitimate starting point — the written proposal defines exactly what is included before anything begins.

New logo, no existing mark
Discovery through to final files for a brand starting from scratch.

- No claim of guaranteed recall or improved performance
What ships with a logo design engagement
A written proposal defining scope
Concept count, revision rounds, deliverables and exclusions written down before work starts.
Concept presentation with rationale
Each concept presented with the reasoning behind it, not just a visual with no context.
Lockups and usage guidance
Practical guidance on applying the mark consistently, confirmed for the formats your proposal scopes.
Agreed export or source files
The specific formats your project needs, confirmed in the proposal rather than a fixed universal list.
Who this is not a fit for
A poor fit, or a dependency worth naming honestly.
A logo design engagement works best when a few things are true first.
Expecting guaranteed trademark safety
Poor fit
Expecting a business-metric guarantee
Poor fit
No discovery input available
Dependency
Unclear rights on supplied assets
Dependency

This page covers logo and visual-identity work specifically — discovery and visual direction, concept presentation, refinement, lockups, usage guidance, and agreed export or source files. Broader visual communication design (campaign assets, collateral, layouts) is a separate, dedicated service; we will point you there if that is what you actually need.
The number of initial concepts and refinement rounds is confirmed in your written proposal — we do not promise a fixed count on this page, since it depends on the scope you choose.
Design exploration is not trademark clearance. Common geometric, typographic and symbolic forms can resemble existing marks — that is a real risk inherent to logo design, not a failure on our part. You should conduct your own legal availability and registration checks before adopting a mark, ideally with a qualified IP or legal professional; we do not offer this as an in-house capability.
Final source and export formats are confirmed in your proposal rather than promised as a fixed universal list on this page — this lets us match the files to what your project actually needs.
We provide lockups and usage guidance intended to support use across common formats, but we cannot guarantee performance in every future context — how a mark is implemented downstream (screen rendering, print process, app-store review) is outside our direct control.
If a project uses licensed fonts or stock elements, appropriate licenses are required — either you or we need to secure them, and this can carry separate costs and restrictions that are confirmed before use.
App-store and platform icon acceptance is subject to that platform's current rules, not something we can guarantee. We design to common guidance, but final acceptance is the platform's decision.
We do not publish fixed prices, because scope varies by deliverables. Request a quote and we will confirm cost and what is included in a written proposal before any work begins.
You must have the authority to use any logos, photos, copy, trademarks, fonts, or stock assets you supply to us. We do not provide trademark registration or legal clearance — similarity or trademark searches need a qualified legal or IP professional. Deliverables are not represented as guaranteed unique or non-infringing.
No — we do not offer brand-recall surveys, engagement-lift measurement, or similar business-metric dashboards as part of this service. If measurement is important to you, that would need to be scoped as a separate, evidenced analytics engagement.
