      I have hired Thinkhaus for multiple projects across two companies over the past eight years, including branding, new product development, packaging, and strategic initiatives. Their team is exceptional, consistently bringing top-tier talent to every engagement. They have always delivered on time, on budget, and above expectations. I highly recommend Thinkhaus to any organization seeking a strategic and results-driven partner.

      B2B Review from Jerry Koch

      Top-Tier Consulting Expertise | Trusted Partner Commitment | World-Class Results Without the Big-Firm Layers. ThinkHaus partnered with us from brand inception through a major strategic evolution three years later. Their ability to help define who we were, shape our brand identity, and articulate a distinctive brand voice by harnessing the collective knowledge of our leadership team, combined with their own deep expertise, was a critical factor in helping us quickly establish a foothold in market. The quality of their work was outstanding. Just as important, ThinkHaus helped us sort out our early strategic evolution as the business matured. Their thoughtful approach demonstrated a rare combination of strategic coaching, branding expertise, business acumen, and the ability to align leadership teams around a common vision. What truly sets ThinkHaus apart is their ability to deliver the caliber of insight, facilitation, and strategic guidance typically associated with top-tier consulting firms while maintaining the responsiveness, accessibility, and personal commitment of a trusted partner. You work directly with experienced professionals who are deeply invested in your success, not layers of consultants. That combination is rare and remarkably effective. Top-tier expertise. Trusted partnership. Outstanding results.

      B2B Review from Angie Holt

      Thinkhaus has been a trusted partner to us for many years, helping us (re)build the entire sales & marketing strategy of our well-established business, to support a significant business redirection. As a small business, they have supported a cost-conscious strategy that has allowed us to prioritize the most impactful strategies on a budget over time. Thinkhaus has helped implement many different elements over time - brand strategy, new name & logo, new imagery, a new website, SEO, AI search visibility and various marketing support materials for special projects such as trade shows and promotional events. Together, these elements have helped us to stand out from our competitors to secure many new customers over the years.

      When assisting us in rebranding our company and redesigning our website, Splendor invested significant time in really getting to understand our business and its nuances, what makes us unique, and what our value proposition is. The results were fantastic – clear and accurate messaging, excellent design, and a foundation. CS Energy’s revenues increased 20% in the year after our rebrand and we have recently been recognized as one of the nation’s top 10 companies in our industry. We attribute much of our recent success, particularly in attracting and retaining new customers, to Splendor’s great work.

Goals of the project including representing our new brand identity, making our offerings more discoverable by both site architecture and SEO and creating an easy to use site we can maintain internally. Jay and the team were very responsive, kept the project organized and delivered on time. Plus, they've been very helpful ongoing whenever we had questions or concerns.

They developed our McMillan WordPress website and have continued to provide reliable support and guidance ever since.Their team has a strong understanding of the professional services sector including the legal industry which has helped us not only maintain our website but also leverage it more strategically using the right tools and best practices.What truly sets Parachute apart is their responsiveness and hands-on approach. They are quick to assist, proactive, and consistently make us feel like a priority rather than just another client. That level of personal attention and partnership is rare and greatly appreciated.

      WordPress Website Design Review from Clea Bierman

      Blue Meridian Partners has worked with Constructive as our website design and development partner for more than eight years. During that time, they have played a significant role in shaping our digital presence and helping bring our brand to life online. What I've appreciated most is Constructive's ability to balance creativity with stewardship. They have consistently found thoughtful ways to push our brand forward when innovation was needed, while also respecting and working intelligently within established brand guidelines. Their team understands how to translate complex ideas into engaging digital experiences. Across dozens of projects, I've worked with three different project managers, and each has been highly accountable and genuinely enjoyable to partner with. The relationships have been professional, collaborative, and built on trust. We've also had several occasions where creative projects required significant work on very tight timelines with little notice, and Constructive consistently found a way to deliver. Like any long-term partnership, navigating complex websites and evolving organizational needs requires ongoing communication and attention. What has kept us coming back year after year is Constructive's commitment to partnership, their willingness to solve problems alongside us, and the care they bring to our mission. I am grateful for their contributions to Blue Meridian's growth and would confidently recommend Constructive to organizations looking for a thoughtful, mission-driven digital agency.

      Nonprofits Review from Robert Espinoza

      Constructive built PHIs website back in 2017-2018 and, in many ways, they have been with the organization ever since. Over almost eight years, they've grown alongside PHI rather than simply maintaining a site. PHI is a national nonprofit working at the intersection of research, policy, and workforce interventions on the direct care workforce, and a lot of what we do is complicated. Constructive's remarkable team has had a real knack for turning that complexity into something clear, usable, and genuinely engaging online.Some of the things I'm most proud of from our partnership like our worker story gallery, our national resource center on direct care workers, and our online index came out of that collaboration. These weren't just features; they became core parts of how we tell our story and share our work with advocates, policymakers, and practitioners.What made Constructive stand out was how invested they were in our mission. They were creative and technically excellent, yes but more than that, they showed up as a true partner. We didn't experience them as a vendor so much as an extension of our team. I would absolutely recommend them to any nonprofit or social impact organization looking for a thoughtful, dependable digital partner.

      Nonprofits Review from Diana Denza, MPA

      The Center for Family Representation worked with Constructive on a year-long rebranding process that overhauled our logo, colors, website, and all of our marketing collateral. As a result of this process, we now have a brand that truly represents our organization and the work we do for low-income NYC families. Constructive was highly responsive and professional throughout the process, working with us to ensure that every element of the rebranding felt just right.

      Hiring OVO to help drive the rebranding efforts for our business that was recently acquired was one of the best business decisions I have made in my 25+ years as a marketing professional! After an international search, OVO stood out for their strategic, collaborative and experienced approach.We are a niche B2B solutions company with a complicated business model. The team at OVO were quick to understand our unique challenges, they expertly guided us through a renaming process and simplified how we communicate our value to the market. Our new company now has a strong foundation and strategy that will fuel the growth that we seek.This was clearly the best agency hire and I highly recommend them!

      I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our experience with OVO. Rebranding can be a daunting project. Picking a partner to help you through the process is like handing your baby over to a stranger. OVO’s expertise and insights made us confident that we made the right choice. As we went through the process, your team continually impressed us with elegant and concise approaches in each of the many stages. You listened and created an end product that was truly “us”. We could not be happier. The results have brought many compliments from existing clients and partners, and have yielded more positive results from prospective clients

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Graphic Design Companies

How do graphic designers price their projects?

Graphic design firms price projects based on scope, complexity, and the value the work brings to your business. 

Common pricing models include: 

  • Project-based (flat fee): One fixed price for the entire project. Works best when the scope is clear.  
  • Hourly rate: You pay for time spent. Graphic designers use it for ongoing work or projects with changing needs.  
  • Value-based pricing: Cost reflects the business impact of the design, not just time or effort.  
  • Retainer: Ongoing monthly agreement for a set amount of work or support.  
  • Package pricing: Pre-set bundles with defined services, such as branding or social media design. 

How much do graphic design agencies typically charge?

Graphic design companies typically charge between $100 and $150+ per hour, with total costs depending on the type and scope of work. 

For one-time projects, pricing varies widely: 

  • Logo design usually costs between $1,000 to $2,500 
  • Website design ranges from $5,000 to $200,000 
  • Brochures or social assets often fall between $500 and $2,500+ 
  • Packaging design ranges from $300 to $50,000 
  • Full branding projects typically cost $16,000 to $63,000 

For ongoing work, many graphic design companies use monthly retainers: 

  • Basic support starts between $500 and $1,000 
  • Mid-level support ranges from $1,000 and $3,000 
  • More advanced, high-volume design work costs $3,000 to $5,000+ per month 

Specialized design work, such as product or technical design, comes at a higher cost: 

  • Mechanical design projects range from $5,000 to $10,000 
  • Prototyping starts at $2,000 and increases based on complexity 

How many revisions do graphic design projects typically include?

Most graphic design projects include a limited number of revision rounds, usually one to three, built into the original price. 

These revisions include small adjustments, such as tweaking text, colors, or layout details. They help refine the design, not change the concept entirely. 

If you request more rounds or major changes after that, designers typically charge extra, often using their hourly rate. 

What is the typical turnaround time for graphic design firms?

Most graphic design projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of work and its complexity. 

  • Simple assets, such as social media graphics or ads, are completed in 1 to 6 days.  
  • Print materials such as brochures often take around 5 to 12 days.  
  • Larger projects, such as web or app design, can take up to 6 weeks. 

The timeline also depends on how clear your brief is and how fast you give feedback. Most timelines already include up to three rounds of revisions, so delays usually happen when feedback is slow or the scope keeps changing. 

What file formats do graphic design agencies deliver?

Graphic design firms deliver files in different formats, so you can use the designs across print and digital channels without issues. 

They usually provide two main types of files: 

Vector files (scalable and editable) are used for logos and brand assets because they can be resized without losing quality: 

  • AI: The original working file, fully editable  
  • EPS: Standard format for professional printing  
  • SVG: Used for websites and digital interfaces  
  • PDF: Ready for sharing or printing final designs  

Raster files (pixel-based) are used for photos and digital visuals where exact detail matters: 

  • PNG: High quality with a transparent background  
  • JPG/JPEG: Smaller files, best for web and previews  
  • TIFF: Large, high-quality files for print  

Some projects also include working files, such as PSDs for Photoshop designs or GIFs for simple animations. 

All files are usually organized, so you can easily use them for websites, social media, or print materials without extra adjustments. 

Can you edit the files that graphic design firms deliver?

You can edit graphic design files only if the agency provides editable formats and gives you the right to use them. In most cases, agencies deliver final files that are ready to use but not easy to change. Editable working files are often shared only if agreed upon in advance. 

Files you can edit (if you have the right software): 

  • AI, EPS, SVG: You can edit logos, shapes, and layouts  
  • PSD, INDD: You can edit text, images, and layers  
  • Canva files: You can edit directly in the browser  
  • Editable PDFs: You can make basic text or image changes  

Files that are suitable for use, not editing, include: 

  • JPG, PNG: You cannot change text or layout  
  • Flattened PDFs: Elements are locked into one layer  
  • Outlined text files: Text becomes shapes and cannot be edited 

Graphic design companies limit the availability of editable files for practical reasons. Some assets, like fonts or images, are licensed and cannot be transferred. Working files also reflect the designer’s internal process, so the agency doesn’t always include them. 

If you need full control, you must define that requirement early. Ask for working files or specific formats in the contract. Otherwise, you will need the original graphic designers to make future changes. 

Who owns the copyright: a graphic design agency or a client?

By default, the graphic design agency retains copyright until it transfers it to the client under a contract. 

In most cases, ownership depends on what is agreed upon in writing: 

  • Full ownership transfer: The client gets full copyright and can use, edit, and distribute the design without limits.  
  • License-only: The agency retains copyright, and the client receives permission to use the design under specific terms (e.g., limited use or channels).  
  • Partial rights: The client can use the design, but the agency retains certain rights, including the right to use it in its portfolio.  

Even when ownership is transferred, some elements may still be restricted. Fonts, stock images, or third-party assets often come with their own licenses. 

Without a clear contract, graphic design studios usually retain control, and clients have only limited usage rights.
