Top Design Studios for Branding

The top design studios for Branding are led by Bricx Labs, followed by Clay and MetaLab. 44 of the 120 studios in this directory qualify for this list.

44 of the 120 top design studios in this directory work in Branding. None of them goes past 45%, which is where BASIC sits, so Branding is a supporting line for every studio here rather than the main practice. On price, 11 publish a $10,000 minimum, 11 start at $25,000, nine start at $5,000, and five leave the floor undisclosed. Team sizes skew boutique: 25 list 10 to 49 people on Clutch, 13 list 50 to 249, and the remaining six sit in other bands.

26 are headquartered in the United States, three in the United Kingdom, and two in the United Arab Emirates; seven do not list an HQ on Clutch. 30 of the 44 carry a Clutch rating; the median is 4.9 across 1,265 reviews, and the other 14 have no reviews, so their figures are self-reported only. 15 of the 44 lead with identity work outright rather than carrying it beside UX/UI, and 26 run at fewer than 50 people, which is the boutique shape most craft-led buyers are looking for.
