Striped Horse

Rebranding Agency

Rebranding is the process of overhauling a company's identity when the current one no longer represents where the business is or where it is going.
Striped Horse is a rebranding company that handles the full transition, from strategy and positioning through to visual identity, guidelines, and rollout across every touchpoint. Everything happens under one roof in Los Angeles, with the same team seeing the work through from the first discovery call to the moment the new brand goes live.

LET’S GET STARTED

Brands we've built for

Our Rebranding Services

A rebrand is not a menu of separate services. It is one connected transition, and the pieces below are the components that make it work together rather than fall out of sync.

Rebranding Strategy & Positioning

Before any design begins, we reassess what the brand stands for, who it serves, how it is positioned against competitors, and how it talks. This is where the reason for the rebrand becomes direction, and where updated messaging and voice are shaped alongside positioning, so every visual decision later has a foundation to build on.

Logo Redesign

A new logo built around the updated strategy, redrawn from scratch rather than tweaked from the existing mark. Every choice reflects where the brand is headed rather than where it came from, from the form and weight through to color and proportion. Explore our full logo design services.

Visual Identity System

The color palette, typography, imagery style, and wider visual language that surrounds the new logo. Designed so every asset the brand produces afterward looks like part of one identity rather than a collection of disconnected pieces.

Rebranding Style Guide

The document that turns the new identity from a set of files into a system. It defines how the logo is used, how colors and typography work together, what tone the messaging takes, and what should never happen with the brand. Without this, the rebrand unravels six months after launch.

Rollout Across Touchpoints

Coordinating the new identity across every place the brand shows up, including website rebranding, signage, social, marketing materials, packaging where applicable, and internal assets, so the launch happens together rather than in fragments over weeks. Explore our custom web design services.

01.
Discovery & Brand Audit
We start by understanding the current brand, not just where it is going. We review what it stands for today, how customers perceive it, where it succeeds and where it falls short, and the specific reason a rebrand is being considered. This baseline shapes everything that follows.
02.
Strategy & Sitemap
Before any design begins, we define the new direction. Updated positioning, refined audience, sharper differentiation, and the messaging that carries all of it. This step is where the reason for the rebrand becomes a written strategy the whole engagement builds on.
03.
Concepts & Design
Our designers translate the strategy into visual identity concepts, presenting distinct directions rather than variations on one idea. You review the thinking behind each, we walk through the tradeoffs together, and the direction we take into refinement is grounded in strategy rather than taste.
04.
Refinement & Guidelines
We take the approved direction and refine every detail, then document it in a full brand guidelines system. Logo usage, color specifications, typography rules, tone of voice, and what should never happen to the brand. This is what keeps the new identity intact after the project ends.
05.
Rollout Support
We support the transition across every touchpoint the brand shows up in: website, marketing materials, social, packaging where applicable, and internal assets. Coordinated rather than staggered, so the new brand launches as one thing rather than in fragments over weeks.
Strategy Before Design

No visual work happens until we understand why the rebrand is happening, what the current brand has earned, and where it needs to go. Every design decision that follows is grounded in strategy rather than instinct, which is what separates a rebrand from a logo swap.

Full Rollout Under One Roof

Strategy, identity design, guidelines, web design, development, and marketing all happen with the same team. The new brand launches across every touchpoint as one coordinated effort, not stitched together from separate vendors working from different files.

Built to Protect What You Have

A rebrand should build on the equity you have already earned, not erase it. We plan for existing customer recognition, search rankings, and brand associations so the transition strengthens the business rather than starting it over.

A Real Team, Not a Marketplace

You work directly with the strategists and designers doing the work, not through an account manager translating between you and someone you never meet. The same team owns your rebrand from first discovery call to launch and beyond.

A Partner Beyond Launch

A rebrand is not finished when the guidelines document is delivered. We stay involved as the new brand shows up in real applications, available for the new asset requests, extensions of the system, and questions that only surface once the identity is live in the world.

One of the challenging project-wise for our university website project and she got the team doing good work and managed to get where we need to be. I will continue to work with her!"
