Manifesto

A 12-person studio. Every project led by a partner, never a junior.

Dyson Art is an independent brand identity studio. We design the logos, type systems, motion languages, and packaging programs behind some of the most recognizable challenger brands of the last decade — Helio Foods, Northbeam, Praxis Hotels, Verdant Capital, and 180 others across nine countries.

We were founded in Brooklyn in 2014 and have operated, without interruption, for eleven years. We have never lost a client to churn in the last four. The team is twelve people: eight senior designers, two art directors, a strategy lead, and a production director. Every engagement is led by a partner who has worked in the discipline for at least a decade, not delegated to the bench.

What we ship is a complete identity system, not a logo file. Every system we deliver is built to flex across digital, print, environmental, and product surfaces from day one, and every file is covered by our lifetime visual-asset warranty — re-versioned free, for the life of the brand.

We do not pitch for awards. We pitch for the work. The awards — two Type Directors Club Studio of the Year titles, seven Brand New Awards, two D&AD Wood Pencils — are downstream of that choice.

A partner on every project. The four below lead our four practice areas — strategy, identity, motion, and production — and have collectively held posts at Pentagram, Wieden+Kennedy, Mucca, Sagmeister, Collins, and Bureau Borsche before joining Dyson Art.

The Warranty

Every file is covered, for the life of the brand.

Every identity system we deliver — logos, type, motion, and packaging artwork — is backed by a lifetime visual-asset warranty. There is no expiry, no renewal fee, and no small print.

The warranty is written into the engagement letter at the start of every project. It transfers automatically if the brand is sold or changes ownership.

What it covers, in plain language:

  • Logo files re-versioned in any new size, format, or color space, on request, for free.
  • Custom type files rebuilt for new digital or print environments, including any future platform we don't yet use.
  • Motion templates re-exported at any resolution, frame rate, or codec the brand later requires.
  • Packaging dielines updated for new substrates, printers, or production partners.
  • Brand guidelines refreshed to reflect any file we re-version — you never end up with out-of-date documentation.
