Graphic design agency in Austin

Because Bruno builds identities that work on a poster as well as in an app, with one in-house team. The whole creative team is on staff, so no style gets passed from hand to hand mid-project. The art director who presents the routes is the one who drew them. And the agency has more than 500 brands behind it.

Bruno works with Austin companies from its San Francisco office, over video, and brings in Paris for European brands. Austin is two hours ahead of California and seven behind Paris, so your mornings overlap with the end of the Paris day and your afternoons with San Francisco. Travel gets planned when the project calls for it.

A graphic design agency delivers a complete visual system, from the logo to the usage rules, with type, illustration and motion in between. Bruno grounds that visual identity work in a clear strategy and gathers it all in an online brand book. Your team finds the files, examples and don’ts in one place. The folder called logo_final_v3 can finally retire.

Bruno created the brand for Kotcha, the running app founded by Eliud Kipchoge, from strategy to the ad shoots: it chose to talk about people rather than personal bests. For La Première Brique, which lets anyone invest in real estate from €1, the job was to look credible without losing its friendliness. Opposite briefs, one shared goal: recognition at first glance.

Bruno recommends treating the booth, badges and screens as one piece, several weeks before March. During SXSW, your brand shares the same Austin streets with a crowd of others, usually glimpsed from afar as people walk past. One simple sign, one confident color and a short message hold up better than full guidelines unrolled on a banner stand. The rest you can say in person.

Yes, and Bruno then designs the identity so the website can follow without starting over. Type, colors and components are chosen with screens in mind from day one. When the time comes, the web team builds from those pieces, and you avoid a site that only vaguely resembles your brand. If the schedule allows, doing both at once often saves time.

At Bruno, a graphic identity usually wraps up in two to three months. It really depends on the project: adapting a European brand moves at a different pace than creating one from scratch, and every extra approver adds another round. If you’re working toward a fixed date, like a spring festival, we build the schedule backward from there.
