Our Process Explained
How we eliminate guesswork and deliver brand systems that resonate authentically with your target audiences.
Analysis
Our process always begins with in-depth strategic discovery. Through focused workshops, we collaborate with clients to establish brand positioning, audience profiles, and core brand attributes. This crucial foundation identifies what makes your offering unique and how it connects with your target audience. Additionally, we implement a resource optimization planning exercise that helps maximize your budget by prioritizing essential brand elements that will deliver the greatest impact. This strategic groundwork ensures every subsequent design decision is purposeful and aligned with your business objectives rather than based on subjective preferences.

Vision
Rather than jumping directly into logo design, we develop "Stylescapes" – advanced visual mood boards that bring potential brand directions to life. These comprehensive visual explorations showcase how different aesthetic approaches might express your brand personality through color, typography, texture, and imagery working together as a cohesive system. This crucial step allows you to visualize and approve the brand's creative direction before investing in detailed design work, saving both time and resources by ensuring alignment early in the process. Clients typically select their preferred Stylescape direction, which then serves as the blueprint for all subsequent identity development.

Design
Once a Stylescape direction is approved, we refine this visual foundation into your core brand mark. Working from the approved aesthetic direction ensures the logo development process is focused and efficient, typically requiring only 1-2 rounds of refinement rather than starting from scratch. We develop a complete logo system including primary and secondary variations, minimum sizes, clear space requirements, and responsive adaptations to ensure versatility across all applications. This methodical approach ensures your final identity is not only visually distinctive but also technically sound and functional across all implementation contexts.

Development
With the core identity established, we expand the visual system into all required brand applications. This phase transforms the foundational elements into a comprehensive brand ecosystem customized to your specific needs – whether that includes packaging design, marketing collateral, digital assets, environmental graphics, or other touchpoints. Each application is carefully designed to maintain perfect consistency while optimizing for its specific context and purpose. The outcome is a cohesive brand experience across all customer interactions, eliminating fragmentation and building stronger brand recognition through systematic implementation.

Growth
The final phase focuses on activating your brand strategically in the marketplace. Drawing from the planning exercises conducted during the strategy phase, we develop implementation roadmaps for marketing initiatives, brand awareness campaigns, and potential revenue stream expansions. This includes creating frameworks for consistent content creation, social media strategy, and brand extension opportunities. By approaching growth systematically, we ensure that all marketing efforts strengthen your brand position while opening new business opportunities. This strategic approach to brand activation ensures your investment continues delivering returns long after the initial design work is complete.

The Symbolon Team
At Symbolon, our strength lies in the complementary talents we bring to every project. Dimi's background in mathematics and semiotics pairs with Maria's architectural thinking and production expertise, allowing us to approach creative challenges from both conceptual and practical angles. Where he uncovers symbolic meaning and narrative potential, she builds systematic frameworks that ensure these ideas work across all touchpoints. This natural balance lets us move fluidly between ideas and implementation, between exploring unexpected creative territories and delivering strategically sound solutions. For our clients, this means brand identities that not only resonate deeply but also function effectively in the real world.

The intersection of mathematics and mysticism isn't where most designers begin their journey, but it's precisely this uncommon foundation that drives Dimi's unique approach to brand identity. As Symbolon's founder, he navigates the space between logic and intuition, translating abstract concepts into visual languages that communicate on both conscious and subconscious levels.
His fascination with semiotics—the study of signs and symbols—began during his early design career but was amplified by his mathematical background, which taught him that beneath every powerful symbol lies a precise structural logic. This dual perspective fuels his work in brand strategy and identity design, where he's developed methodologies that blend ancient symbolic principles with contemporary neuroscience.
When not untangling complex brand challenges, Dimi hosts Design Alchemy, a podcast exploring unorthodox thinking in the creative community, and is currently writing a book on Semiotic Branding. After hours, you might find him deep in philosophical debates, immersed in roleplaying games, or headbanging at heavy metal concerts—all different expressions of the narrative worlds he loves to create.

Maria's approach to brand architecture reflects her unusual background—a foundation in economic science layered with formal training in both graphic and visual design. This multidisciplinary perspective allows her to build brands that not only captivate visually but also function strategically within complex market environments.
As Symbolon's Co-Founder and Brand Architect, Maria bridges the gap between concept and execution, transforming strategic visions into comprehensive brand systems that work across every touchpoint. Her expertise spans from initial brand development through packaging design and digital implementation, with a particular talent for bringing order to complexity.
Her work has appeared in publications like Wired Magazine, and MoMA's Design Store has featured her calendar posters—recognition that speaks to her ability to balance commercial effectiveness with artistic integrity.
Drawing inspiration from her interests in alternative music and wellness practices, she brings a balance of creative exploration and disciplined execution to every project.
