Logos and Brand Identities
The brands we design stand the test of time by adhering to tried-and-true design principles. All of our logos and brand identities are original and achieve a brand aesthetic that strikes a balance between industry belonging and distinction from competitors/partners. We research existing logos and brands in your field to ensure we develop a unique brand that is recognizable and that resonates with your audience.

Client Testimonials
I could not be more pleased with the work of 45th Parallel Design. Nicole did a beyond-excellent job of capturing the qualities we wanted to project in a new logo. We now have a unique, recognizable logo that will be invaluable in reaching out to those who can benefit from the training we offer.
—Gary O., via Google review
We have worked with Nicole for four years. In that time, she has expertly handled all of our design needs from brand identity, and outreach flyers, to logo creation, to artistic support for our website. We have complete trust that no matter the task, Nicole understands our brand and organization's needs. Always, it feels like she minds with the end result being something we imagined but couldn't convey in writing.
