What we're about

Edit Content

concept is king

For us, ‘VISION’ is about seeing possibilities where others see limitations. It’s about transforming the ordinary into tangible realities. Our work has seen numerous “zero to hero” stories, where we’ve brought ideas from concept to creation, in unexpected ways.

heartthrob

At PlanetFab, we’re all about ‘VIBE’, that “je ne sais quoi” that hits you right in the heart.

beauty & brains

‘Know-How’ is our superpower. It’s the secret sauce that brings it all together. We know-how to turn “meh” into “hell yeah!” We’re two creative minds with two+ decades of experience, each bringing our own brand of genius to the table. We’re the yin to each other’s yang, turning the abstract into the concrete with skill and expertise.

Frequently asked questions

We don’t just design logos or websites — we build brands. That means taking a holistic view of your business: understanding your goals, your audience, and your competitive landscape before we ever sketch a concept. Every design decision is backed by strategy.

Logos and websites are just the tip of the iceberg. We specialize in comprehensive brand strategy — from positioning and differentiation to naming, brand voice, and identity systems. Our goal is to create brands that are both visually strong and strategically sound.

Many of our clients already have a presence but feel their brand has become cluttered over time. Multiple vendors, inconsistent design choices, and scattered messaging can dilute impact. We help declutter, refocus, and align everything under a clear, cohesive brand system that cuts through the noise.

We see websites as brand platforms, not just digital brochures. Our process includes research into your users, competitors, and goals to create a site that is visually compelling, user-friendly, and scalable for growth. We handle everything from UX/UI design to full development.

Yes. Our work often extends beyond core identity into content creation and campaign development. That includes social media campaigns, film and video, editorial design, and digital content that amplifies your brand voice across every channel.

Our clients span many industries — from startups and lifestyle brands to established organizations in health, education, and luxury. What they all share is the need for a partner that combines creative excellence with business strategy. We adapt our approach to fit your sector.

Every project is unique. A brand identity, a website, and a campaign all have very different parameters, and even two websites can vary widely depending on scope and functionality. For that reason, we don’t use flat templates or one-size-fits-all pricing. Instead, we provide tailored proposals after understanding your goals and requirements.

Most projects begin with a discovery session or our Brand Clarity Workshop. This allows us to learn about your business, uncover challenges and opportunities, and align on strategy before design begins. From there, we map a plan and walk you through each phase of the process.

We offer both. Many of our engagements include consulting at the front end — brand audits, strategy sessions, and market positioning work — before moving into creative execution. This ensures your brand decisions are rooted in insight, not guesswork.

When your brand is fragmented, customers get mixed messages and competitors gain the upper hand. Clarity builds trust, accelerates decision-making, and gives your team confidence in every touchpoint. In a crowded marketplace, a clear brand isn’t just an advantage — it’s a necessity.
