Branding & Identity Design in Sri Lanka

Ants Creation is a branding agency in Sri Lanka, founded in 2011. Our branding team helps businesses and organisations define, design and refresh their brand: brand strategy, logo and visual identity, brand guidelines, packaging and product branding, and brand refresh. Because we also build websites and run our own print shop, the identity is carried through to your website, campaigns and printed materials by one company.

Overview

What does a branding company do?

A branding company defines how an organisation is recognised and remembered: its positioning and message, its name and logo, and the visual identity applied everywhere it appears. Ants Creation (Pvt) Ltd provides branding and identity design in Sri Lanka, from strategy to finished printed and digital materials.

Our branding team covers three services — brand strategy, brand development and brand refresh — and works alongside our web, marketing and printing teams, so an identity is carried through to the website, campaigns and print without changing supplier.

Because we print as well as design, colours, materials and finishes are specified for production from the start, and the brand you approve on screen is the brand that arrives in print.

Common questions

Branding: frequently asked questions

What is included in a brand identity?

A brand identity typically includes a logo with its variations, a colour palette, typography, graphic elements, a tone of voice and brand guidelines showing how they are used. Ants Creation supplies master files for print and digital, and editable artwork files free on request. Depending on the project, the identity is then applied to stationery, packaging, signage, your website and social media templates.

What is the difference between brand strategy and brand design?

Brand strategy decides what the brand stands for, who it is for and why they should choose it: its positioning, value proposition and messaging. Brand design expresses that decision visually, through the logo, colours, typography and graphic style. Strategy comes first, so the design has something to say. At Ants Creation the same branding team handles both, usually in one engagement.

Should we refresh our brand or rebrand completely?

Refresh when customers recognise your brand but it looks dated or is applied inconsistently: the name and core idea are kept, and the way they are expressed is modernised. Rebrand when the business, its audience or its name has changed enough that the current identity no longer fits. Ants Creation offers both and assesses which you need before proposing either; see brand refresh and rebranding.

Can you produce the printed materials as well?

Yes. Business cards, letterheads and company profiles are printed by digital offset at Ants Creation’s own print shop, and signboards and vehicle graphics are designed and printed in-house. Packaging samples and small quantities are also made in-house; bulk packaging is produced by outside suppliers. Because one company designs and prints, colours and finishes are specified for production from the start. See printing and gifts.

How long does a branding project take?

It depends on the scope: a logo on its own is a smaller project than strategy, identity and guidelines together, and how quickly feedback comes back at each review point matters too. Ants Creation schedules every stage, from discovery to guidelines and rollout, in the written proposal, with a review point at each stage, so you know the timeline before work starts.

Do you offer logo design in Sri Lanka?

Yes. Ants Creation’s branding team designs logos in Sri Lanka as part of a visual identity system, with variations for every size and background and files for print and digital. A logo-only project is possible, though we recommend at least colour and typography rules alongside it, so the logo is used consistently. Call or WhatsApp our design team on 077 282 0431 for a free quote.

Do you offer product branding and packaging design?

Yes. Ants Creation designs product branding in Sri Lanka: the look of a product or sub-brand, planned so it relates clearly to your main brand, and applied to packaging, labels, launch materials and campaigns. Colours, materials and finishes are specified for production. Packaging samples and small quantities are made at our own print shop, including cutting and assembly; bulk packaging is produced by outside suppliers.

How much does branding cost in Sri Lanka?

It depends on what you need: a logo on its own, a full identity with guidelines, or strategy, identity and rollout across print, packaging and your website. Ants Creation quotes each branding project after a short discussion of your goals and the materials you need, and quotes are free. Call or WhatsApp our design team on 077 282 0431, or email hello@ants.lk.

Who owns the copyright in our logo and brand designs?

You do, once the project is paid in full. After full payment, the copyright in the logo and brand designs Ants Creation creates for you belongs to you, and you receive the master files for print and digital, with editable artwork files free on request. Your own team and other suppliers can then apply the identity consistently, following the brand guidelines.
