Frequently asked questions
What does a graphic design agency in Melbourne actually cost? Project pricing depends on scope — a single event flyer is very different from a full brand identity rollout. Most logo and brand identity projects start from a few thousand dollars; event flyers can be quoted per-piece with bulk rates. Get in touch for a quote on your specific project.
Do you only work with Melbourne clients? No. We’re based in St Kilda but work with clients across Australia and internationally. Past projects span Melbourne, Sydney, Orange (NSW), Los Angeles and beyond.
What industries do you specialise in? Hospitality, entertainment, live music, retail and corporate branding. We have particular depth in nightlife and event flyer design — see the entertainment portfolio for context.
How long does a project take? Event flyers turn around in 24–72 hours. Brand identity projects typically run 2–4 weeks. Websites usually land between 4 and 8 weeks depending on scope.
Do you handle the printing too? Yes — we manage the full process from concept through to print delivery, including paper stock, finishes and supplier liaison.
