What Brand Refresh & Rebrand
Services Does
TDS Offer?

TDS brand refresh and rebrand services evolve your existing identity — preserving the equity you've built while modernising the elements that are holding your brand back. Whether you need a subtle visual update or a full strategic repositioning, TDS starts with a brand equity audit to determine exactly what should change and what should stay. Every refresh is led by a Creative Director and supported by ongoing production so the new brand rolls out consistently across every touchpoint.

What's Included

What does a brand refresh include
in a TDS subscription?

Every tier includes the full brand refresh suite. Scope is determined by your audit — you only pay for what your brand actually needs.

Brand Equity Audit

Assessment of existing assets, market recognition, consistency gaps, and brand perception. Produces a clear brief on what to evolve, what to retain, and what to retire.

Evolved Visual System

Updated logo (if required), refined colour palette, modernised typography, revised iconography, and updated photography/illustration direction — all informed by audit findings.

Updated Brand Guidelines

Refreshed standards document reflecting all updated visual and verbal elements. Replaces or supplements the existing guidelines with new specifications and usage rules.

Asset Rollout

Post-refresh production of all priority assets in the new brand — stationery, digital templates, social profiles, email signatures, presentation decks, and more.

Full Rebrand (If Required)

For brands requiring strategic repositioning — new name, new identity, new messaging. Includes full brand strategy, identity design, guidelines, and launch collateral.

Launch Support

Internal launch deck, announcement collateral, and social media assets to introduce the refreshed brand to your team, partners, and market.

How It Works

How does TDS deliver
a brand refresh?

Every brand refresh at TDS begins with an audit — not assumptions. Understanding what your brand has earned in the market determines every decision that follows.

01

Brand Equity Audit

Review of all existing assets, consistency analysis, competitive benchmarking, and stakeholder interviews. Output: a clear brief defining what changes and why.

02

Refresh Direction

One or two refresh directions are presented — showing before/after comparisons across key applications. You select a direction; we refine to final.

03

System Build & Guidelines Update

Full visual system finalised, source files packaged, and brand guidelines updated to reflect all changes. Ready for internal and external distribution.

04

Rollout Production

All priority assets updated to the new brand. Ongoing subscription production continues under the refreshed identity — no separate scoping or renegotiation required.

Why TDS

Why choose TDS for
brand refresh and rebrand?

Audit Before Design

TDS never starts refreshing a brand before understanding what's worth keeping. The equity audit protects your investment and prevents unnecessary change for change's sake.

Refresh + Rollout in One Subscription

Unlike project agencies that hand over files and disappear, TDS remains your production partner post-refresh — applying the new brand consistently across every asset.

Creative Director Oversight

Every refresh decision is reviewed by a Creative Director. The balance between evolution and preservation is one of the hardest calls in branding — senior experience matters here.

No Lock-in Contracts

TDS subscriptions are month-to-month. Complete your refresh, then continue with production — or pause when your roadmap demands it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
about TDS brand refresh & rebrand

What is the difference between a brand refresh and a full rebrand?
A brand refresh evolves your existing identity — modernising elements, improving consistency, and updating the visual system while preserving recognised equity. A full rebrand involves a strategic repositioning and entirely new identity system. TDS conducts a brand equity audit first to determine which approach is appropriate for your situation.
How long does a brand refresh take with TDS?
A brand refresh — audit, evolved visual system, and updated guidelines — typically takes 3–4 weeks. A full rebrand with repositioning work takes 5–8 weeks depending on scope and stakeholder complexity.
Will TDS handle the rollout of the new brand across all assets?
Yes. Post-refresh, TDS continues as your production partner — updating all existing assets to the new brand system and producing all new materials under the refreshed identity. This is one of the key advantages of the subscription model.
How does TDS decide what to keep and what to change in a refresh?
TDS conducts a brand equity audit before any design work — assessing which elements have market recognition worth preserving and which are holding the brand back. The audit output informs a clear brief on what evolves vs. what stays.
Can TDS refresh a brand without changing the logo?
Absolutely. Many effective brand refreshes involve updating colour palettes, typography, photography style, and asset design while retaining the existing logo. TDS can scope a refresh to whatever level of change your brand needs.
