A Semi-Custom Branding Kit: What They Are, What’s Included, and If They’re Worth It

A semi-custom branding kit: For the creatives, the self-starters, and the game-changers. If you’ve outgrown your DIY Canva logo but aren’t ready to invest in a full custom brand yet, my new service is the perfect bridge for you. When you invest, you’ll walk away with a polished brand identity that’s strategically tailored to your dream clients. Ready to see what sets my semi-custom branding kits apart? Keep scrolling to see the deep-dive from a brand and web designer. 

Who is a Semi-Custom Branding Kit For?

You feel like you’re on the fence if you’re ready to take the big leap into a custom brand. Some days you move through your work with ease, and other days you feel like you can’t take it anymore. I get it. If the days where you can’t take it anymore are becoming more frequent, and you find yourself ready for something a little more professional, a semi-custom brand kit could be a perfect match. 

Quick overview: A semi-custom branding kit is a good fit if:

  • You’re launching a new business and want to start strong
  • You’re rebranding from DIY and need a confident next step
  • You want something fast, polished, and strategic, without the full custom investment just yet

What’s Included in a Semi-Custom Branding Kit? 

A branding kit is essentially your whole vibe – it’s the core of your brand! Your colors, your logo, your typography… the list goes on. My new semi-custom brand kits are basically a pre-made brand design, waiting for you to put your own spin on it. Here’s everything you’ll get from it: 

  • Primary + Secondary Logos
  • Brand Accents (Monogram + Taglines)
  • Color Palette (Options in your onboarding kit)
  • Fonts (Pick your licenses or free fonts)
  • 4 Branded mockups (JPG + PNG)
  • 4 Stock Images (JPG + PNG)
  • 1 Page Brand Guideline (PDF)
  • Homepage Mockup (PDF)
  • 5 Page Deck (Canva or Figma)

That’s everything you could ask for, that is, until you’re ready to take the leap into a fully-custom brand. And the best part? You won’t be waiting months for your branding kit, but instead, you’ll get all your deliverables in just a few days!

What’s the Process for Buying a Semi-Custom Brand Kit? 

I’m glad you asked, because this is my favorite part! These branding kits make it easy to get the elevated brand design of your dreams. Here’s an overview of the process:

  1. Purchase + Onboard

After you purchase your brand kit, you’ll receive an email with onboarding instructions and a link to your brand questionnaire for you to fill out and return to me. 

  1. Design + Refine

I’ll send you previews of your logos, and you’ll let me know what revisions you want me to make to make it feel like it’s yours. 

  1. Delivery!

You’ll get your final deliverables sent to you in high-res and web-sized files, and voila! 

And did I mention that this all happens in just one week?

What Makes Your Semi-Custom Brand Kits Different?

As a brand designer, I know that a strong branding design isn’t just about a pretty logo or a fun color palette (though, that matters too!) – it’s about strategy. And that’s always the absolute first thing I focus on when I’m building a brand. My visions always start with your goals, your story, and the instinct that led you here in my mind. Strategy lays the foundation, intuition brings the vision to life, and together they create something that feels inevitable and attracts your dream clients left and right.
