PlayBig Digital provides brand identity and graphic design for businesses across California’s Central Coast, from the first logo sketch to the finished printed piece. A new business needs an identity built from the ground up. A growing one may need a familiar logo refined to match where it’s headed. Either way, the work starts with who you want people to recognize and remember.
We start with your existing identity and the competitors your customers compare you to, then decide together what should stay and what needs to change. When AutoVIA moved from automotive design recruiting into classic car appraisal, the brand had to make that new direction clear at first glance.
Print design and production
Our roots are in print design and publishing, and we still design and produce real print work for clients. For Rental Depot, one brand carries from the website and ads to print pieces and in-store video at three locations from Monterey to San Luis Obispo. For PM Landscaping, printed materials carry the same message customers find online.
We manage the print job from design through delivery, working directly with the printer on quotes, proofs, press checks and production, so every piece prints the way it was designed.
What the work can include
Logo development or refinement, with attention to recognition and how the mark works in practical use. A good logo has to read clearly on a storefront sign and as a tiny social media icon. When a business already has recognition worth keeping, we refine the existing logo rather than starting over, so customers still know it’s you.
A visual system with clear roles, so the brand feels connected across digital and printed materials. Our designer builds color palettes that give each brand its own look and feel, and the typefaces are chosen to stay readable on screens and on paper. Each color and font has a defined job, so anyone creating materials for your business can keep them consistent.
Website graphics, social assets and digital advertising designed to belong to the same business. Original illustration and photography make the brand feel like yours rather than a template. Whether a customer sees your Instagram post or your Google ad, it should be obvious they come from the same company.
Brochures, signage, publications and printed advertising are where a brand has to hold up in the real world. Our roots are in print design and publishing, so we handle the pre-press details that decide how a piece actually prints: color set up for the press, correct bleeds and trim, and the right paper stock for the job. We prepare final files to each printer’s specifications and review proofs before anything goes to press, so your colors and type look the way they were designed. We can also manage the job with your printer, from quotes through production, so you have one point of contact from design to delivery.
