If you’ve ever been handed five logo options and felt overwhelmed—or worse, underwhelmed—there’s a better way. The one-concept branding method flips the traditional process on its head. Instead of picking from a pile of watered-down ideas, you get one concept: strategic, refined, and built to last.
At Studio Behana, I use this approach to help FNQ businesses create brands with clarity, confidence, and cohesion—whether you’re in Cairns, Port Douglas, or anywhere in between.
What Is the One Concept Method?
It’s a brand design approach grounded in strategy and intention. After an in-depth discovery phase, I craft one complete brand identity that represents the strongest and most aligned direction for your business.
This includes:
Full logo system
Colour palette
Typography pairings
Supporting visuals (patterns, icons, photography style)
Real-life mockups (business cards, social tiles, signage, packaging, etc.)
One-Concept Branding in Action: Real-Life Mockups
Why the One Concept Branding Method Works
Focused: No “runner-up” logos that dilute the direction.
Collaborative: You’re part of the process early through moodboards and strategy.
Efficient: Instead of wasting energy choosing between five options, we refine the strongest one.
Built to last: No quick fixes—just thoughtful design that supports your long-term brand goals.
How the Process Unfolds
Discovery Questionnaire + Brand Strategy Session We dive into your business, audience, goals, and vision.
Moodboard & Visual Direction You approve the vibe before I design anything.
Concept Presentation One full brand identity presented with rationale and mockups.
Refinements Up to two rounds of feedback to polish everything.
Delivery Final files, brand guide, and everything you need to launch with confidence.
Is the One Concept Method Right for You?
This approach is perfect if:
You want strategy, not just style.
You’re too busy to go back and forth over endless logo options.
You want something intentional, elevated, and designed to grow with you.
Wrap Up
The one-concept branding method saves time, reduces decision fatigue, and creates a brand that’s rooted in strategy—not guesswork. If you’re ready to build something purposeful (and skip the chaos of endless revisions), this method might just be your new favourite thing.
At Studio Behana, I bring this clarity-driven approach to branding projects across FNQ—from Cairns to Port Douglas—helping small businesses show up with confidence and consistency.
