Little Mark, Big Job.
Every logo starts with the problem you're actually trying to solve. Do you need a wordmark that reads cleanly at a small size, a symbol that works across packaging and apps, or a flexible identity system that can grow with the brand? The work begins by understanding the business, not by opening Illustrator.

Other design subscriptions rotate juniors and call it efficiency. Slate is different. The same senior designer handles every project from sketch to delivery. Twenty years of experience, applied directly to your work, with no handovers and no quality drift between rounds.

Trends are seductive and short-lived. A logo built on a 2026 typography trend will look dated in 2028. The work delivered here is designed to age well: clear hierarchy, controlled proportions, and typography chosen for clarity rather than novelty.


Every new client gets a free intro call with me before any work begins. It's a chance for me to understand your business properly, and for you to ask anything you like, no pressure, no pitch. If you'd like to find out more before signing up to anything, I'm always happy to hear from you.
Dan Smith, Senior Designer
