About the Studio
A structured approach to brand identity.
Studio Marlowe was founded on a simple conviction: a brand identity is an operating system, not a decoration. Every mark, typeface and colour decision we make is documented, justified and built to survive contact with the real world — from a business card to a forty-foot storefront.
Over fifteen years we have delivered identity programmes for financial services firms, professional practices, manufacturers and technology companies across three continents. Our work is deliberately restrained, because restraint is what makes a brand legible at scale.
Engagements begin with a structured discovery phase and end with a complete brand guidelines document your team can actually use. No loose ends, no guesswork, no ambiguity about what goes where.
“A brand is not what you say about yourself. It is the sum of every decision you make, repeated consistently, until it becomes unmistakable.”
Studio Marlowe — Design Principles
What We Do
Identity services, scoped and priced clearly.
Each engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-fee. You know exactly what you receive, when you receive it, and what it costs before a single pixel is drawn.
Full Brand Identity
Logo system, colour architecture, typographic hierarchy, imagery direction and layout principles — assembled into a complete, documented identity that scales across every touchpoint.
From R42,0006–8 Weeks
Brand Guidelines
A governing document covering correct usage, clear-space rules, colour values, type specifications and application examples. Written for designers, printers and internal teams alike.
From R14,0002–3 Weeks
Stationery & Collateral
Business cards, letterheads, presentation templates, signage specifications and packaging artwork — all built from the master identity so nothing drifts off-brand.
From R9,5002 Weeks
Digital Brand System
Social templates, email signatures, presentation decks and a component library that keeps your digital presence as disciplined as your print presence.
From R16,0003 Weeks
Brand Audit & Advisory
A forensic review of your existing identity against your market position, with a prioritised remediation roadmap. Ideal before a rebrand, merger or market expansion.

Client Feedback
What our clients say.
Long-term relationships, built on disciplined process and predictable delivery.
Studio Marlowe delivered a complete identity system in six weeks, exactly as scoped. The guidelines document alone has saved our marketing team countless hours of second-guessing.
Nadia FourieMarketing Director, Meridian Capital
We had been through two agencies before this. The difference here was the rigour — every decision was documented and justified. Our board approved the rebrand without a single revision.
Pieter van der MerweManaging Partner, Northgate Legal
The mark works everywhere — from a 12mm embroidery patch to a warehouse sign. That kind of durability is rare, and it is exactly what we needed across eleven facilities.
