How we work
- Discovery. Brand audit, audience review, reference gathering. We map what's working and what isn't before we open Figma.
- Direction. Moodboard plus 2–3 concept directions for sign-off — so we agree on the visual language before scaling production.
- Production. Final design with variants for every placement and platform — desktop, mobile, story, reel, ad placement.
- Handoff. Source files, templates, and brand guidelines so your team — or the next designer — can run with it.
Why Mark Studios
- Thumbnails by people who watch their own A/B tests run live. Our thumbnail leads are operators, not pure aesthetes — they design for CTR.
- Brand systems built to scale with content output, not just look-books that gather dust on a Notion page.
- Same team handles design + motion + edit so nothing breaks across handoffs and your visual language stays coherent across long-form, shorts, and ads.
Frequently asked questions
How many thumbnail concepts do I get?
You get the number of concepts you purchase. One thumbnail design includes one concept. If you buy two or three thumbnail designs, you get two or three directions to compare, with the option to expand into A/B-test variants for high-stakes uploads. Read our thumbnail CTR playbook for how we think about it.
Can you build a full brand identity from scratch?
Yes. Logo, palette, typography, motion language, and a brand guidelines doc that your future editors and designers can follow. We also build the systems for how the brand shows up on YouTube, shorts, podcast, and ads. See our channel branding guide.
Do you provide source files (PSD, AI, AEP)?
Layered source files are available on request per the terms in your engagement Order.
Can you match an existing brand?
Yes. Send your brand kit and we'll work within it. We can also extend an existing brand into new applications — new placements, new platforms, new content types.
How long does a brand identity engagement take?
3–4 weeks end-to-end is typical for a full identity. Single asset projects (a thumbnail set, a banner pack) ship faster — often within a week.
