Duck.Design

Duck.Design as a studio

Duck.Design is built for breadth and volume rather than a single aesthetic. Graphic design and product design lead at 25 percent each, then branding, UX/UI, video production and web design at 10 percent apiece. Ten industries share the book equally and startups are 70 percent of clients. The $1,000+ minimum is the lowest in this batch, hourly rates are undisclosed, and the team is 50 to 249 people across London and New York. Reviews describe logos, websites, motion graphics, GIFs, one-pagers and corporate documents re-templated to a new identity. Rating 4.9 across 60 Clutch reviews.

Who it fits

Hire Duck.Design when you are a startup that needs a steady stream of design assets across brand, product and marketing and cannot justify a specialist for each. It is not the studio for a signature identity; the range of services and the ten-industry spread say production capacity, not point of view.
