Blind-embossed paper proofs fanned out, with cassis, plaster, ivory and brass swatches

Branding and identity agency in Montreal

A parcel arrives. Before she even opens it, from the colour of the paper and the letterforms of the name, the customer knows who it’s from.

This service belongs to the first impression.

Déclic is a branding agency in Montreal for brands that sell online. Brand platform, logo, visual identity, art direction: brands people recognize at first glance, that keep their promise all the way to the last page of the store. Today an identity lives on a phone, in a six-second ad, next to ten competitors. We design it for those places.

What makes it recognizable

05
  • 01

    Words before the logo

    Who the brand speaks to, what it promises, what it refuses to say. A short document, read in ten minutes, applied the next day.

  • 02

    An identity pared to the essential

    Logo, type, palette, layout rules: few elements, as sharp in a favicon as on a storefront.

  • 03

    Images that sell

    Light, framing, materials: we set the art direction and guide the shoots.

  • 04

    A voice

    A tone, a vocabulary, what to avoid, applied to the website, product pages and ads.

  • 05

    Guidelines people want to follow

    Everything in clear guidelines. Your partners apply the brand without calling you.

Designed for the screen, not for print

Most identities are designed for paper, then adapted to the web. We do the opposite. A typeface too thin on mobile, a colour that shifts, a logo unreadable at small sizes: we catch it before your customers do.

What clients ask before signing

How much does a brand identity cost?

It depends on scope: a logo alone, a full identity, or a platform with guidelines and art direction. It takes shape in the 15-minute conversation.

How long does it take?

4 to 8 weeks, from brand platform to final guidelines.

Can you evolve our brand without starting over?

Yes. Often a brand doesn’t need redoing, just tightening. We’ll tell you honestly what’s worth keeping.

Do we own the brand?

Yes. On final payment, you receive the source files and every useful format.
