A conversation to find the fit
Let’s talk about your project.
A 15-minute introduction to understand what you’re building and whether Black Bambu is the right fit.
We’ll establish what you need, your timing, who’s involved in the decision, and the likely investment. Then we’ll recommend a practical next step.
- A straightforward print quote
- A defined project proposal
- The paid Clarity process, when strategic work is needed
- An honest answer if we’re not the right fit
This is a fit conversation. Strategy work, design recommendations, and the Clarity Doc are part of a paid engagement.
A few useful details.
How is this different from the Clarity process?
MVB is a focused design engagement for a business whose offer and audience are already clear. The paid Clarity process addresses the deeper strategic decisions. If those need work first, Shawn will recommend that next step.
What does the $800 starting price cover?
A tightly scoped launch identity: a core logo direction, color and typography, final logo assets, and a short usage guide. Complexity, applications, and revisions determine the final quote. You’ll review the scope before committing.
Will the introduction include brand strategy?
The 15-minute introduction establishes the need, timing, decision-maker, and likely investment. Strategy recommendations and the Clarity Doc belong in a paid engagement.
Does the example show everything included?
No. The client work shown comes from a broader engagement. It demonstrates the studio’s approach; the MVB proposal defines the smaller set of deliverables for your launch.
