Top Graphic Design and Identity Agencies in Ireland (Updated August 2026)
The companies in this list are ordered alphabetically by name. That is the only ordering applied, so a company's position implies no ranking, preference or assessment of quality.
A design studio's deliverable is a system, not a logo: the mark, the type, the colour, and the guidelines that decide what happens when somebody applies it to a van or a shelf edge. Irish studios are small — almost every one here runs to ten people or fewer, so the designer who pitches is the designer who draws. Six of the ten publish the same 900 euro starting budget.
A system, or a set of beautiful artefacts?
- Identity or artefacts. Some studios build systems. Others produce beautiful individual pieces. Both are useful, and they are not the same purchase.
- What comes after the logo. Ask what the deliverable actually includes. Guidelines and applications are where an identity either works or falls apart.
- Source file ownership. Get it in writing. Design you cannot edit later costs you again every time you need a variation.
- Longevity. Two studios here date to the 1990s. For a brand you expect to keep, a studio that will still exist is worth something.
- Whether the pack has to carry a mechanic. Four studios here lead with packaging. If artwork also has to hold a promotion, on-pack promotions bring redemption and legal requirements the design has to accommodate.
Judge a studio on its second-tier work, not the hero project on the homepage. Consistency across the smaller jobs tells you what your project will actually look like.
Questions for a studio of ten people or fewer
Most studios on this list are small enough that the person who pitches you is the person who does the work, which changes what actually matters in the selection.
- Portfolio range, not just polish. A studio that only shows one style of logo will likely give you that style regardless of brief. Ask to see work outside their apparent comfort zone.
- Turnaround against your timeline. A ten-person studio can run two projects at once. A one-person studio cannot. Ask what else they have on before you commit a launch date.
- Revision process. Get the number of included revision rounds in writing before the project starts, not after the first draft disappoints you.
- Print and production knowledge. If the work includes packaging, signage or print, confirm the studio understands production constraints like bleed, stock and colour profiles, not just screen design.
- Whether they design or also strategize. Some studios only execute a brief. Others help you write it. Decide which you actually need.
- Where the campaign idea comes from. Studios here execute rather than invent the campaign. If that idea does not exist yet, it usually comes from the creative agencies on this list.
From mark to guidelines, and where the job ends
Core scope covers logo and identity design, print collateral, packaging, digital assets and brand guidelines that govern how all of it is used consistently. Several studios here also run brand strategy work upstream of the visual output.
Design applies a decision someone else made, so if the positioning itself is unresolved, start with the branding agencies instead. And print and packaging craft does not automatically translate to screens, which is why the web design companies exist as a separate category.
Outside the scope for most: website build and ongoing digital marketing, which a handful of studios here offer as an add-on rather than a core service. A business typically brings in a design studio at launch, at a rebrand, or when its existing collateral has grown inconsistent across print, digital and packaging and needs a single system to govern it again.
What €900 buys, and what pushes past it
This category prices on project minimums rather than hourly rates, and this list's own published figures cluster tightly. Zero-G, Dynamo, New Graphic, Pixelodeesign, BAMMEDIA and Idea Dublin all publish a starting budget of €900. CI Studio, Brand You Creative Agency, Whitespace and Brandlogik publish no figure at all.
That €900 entry point buys a basic mark and light guidelines for a small business, not a full identity system. What moves the price above it is the number of applications the identity needs to cover, whether packaging or environmental design is included, and how many rounds of revision and stakeholder review the project requires. A full brand system with rollout across print, digital and physical space runs well past the published entry figure, even at these studios.
We have selected and reviewed these companies based on factors such as their services, industry experience, reputation, client portfolio, pricing where publicly available, market presence, and other relevant business metrics. The information and pricing mentioned are based on details available at the time of publication and may change over time. We recommend verifying the latest information directly with each company.
1. BAMMEDIA
Best for brand, web and packaging together
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
- Min project
- From €900
BAMMEDIA was founded in June 2006 by Bridget Kerrigan, who still leads it as creative director, with Cormac Kerrigan joining in 2014 to run the web and digital side. The team of under ten works across Dublin, Meath and Louth.
Who they suit
Packaging is the centre of the portfolio, particularly grocery, food and drink, and FMCG. The awards behind that are named and independently judged: recognition from the Institute of Designers in Ireland, and a Pentawards silver for the Nunaia brand in 2021 at the European Pentawards.
How they work
Named clients include The Handmade Soap Company, Inland Fisheries Ireland, Visit Louth, Network Ireland, the National Cyber Security Centre and First Citizen Finance. Projects start from 900 euro. It suits a producer or consumer brand that needs shelf-ready packaging and the e-commerce site to match, from one team.

2. Brand You Creative Agency
Best for long-established general design
- Highly recommended
- Location
- County Dublin, Ireland
- Rating
- 5.0 (5 reviews)
- Team size
- 1-10
Brand You Creative Agency operates from Dublin and Cork with a team of under ten, established in its current form in 2019 with earlier roots. Services run from naming and identity through website build to the campaigns that launch a new brand.
Who they suit
It is the only studio on this list with independent client validation: 5 verified reviews at 5.0, alongside the directory's recommendation badge. Five is a small sample, but on a page where every other studio has none, it is the only third-party evidence available.
How they work
Sectors are professional services, retail, hospitality and technology, and no project minimum is published. It suits a growing business that wants a name, an identity and a working website from one team. Naming is the thing to press on: ask whether trade mark screening is included or assumed to be your job.

3. Brandlogik
Best for remote-first design delivery
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
Brandlogik is a fully remote studio led by creative director Eugene Burns, with virtual offices in London, Dublin and Belfast and a team of under ten.
Who they suit
Burns previously worked as a lead designer at two London branding agencies on projects for BT, Visa, MTV Europe, Prudential, Zurich and Lloyds TSB. The studio also runs BrandSprints.com, a brand-clarity platform built from its own workshop process, and uses AI tooling for early-stage ideation.
How they work
Services cover strategy, identity, website and online shop design, copywriting and video. Sectors are professional services, fashion and retail, non-profits and technology, and no project minimum is published. It suits a distributed business comfortable working entirely at a distance; if you want people in a room with your product, the studios here with physical premises fit better.

4. CI Studio
Best for identity across digital, print and environments
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 11-50
CI Studio began in Dublin in 1996 as Creative Inc and rebranded at its twentieth anniversary. Based on Herbert Lane in Dublin 2, it has one of the two largest teams on this list at 11 to 50 people.
Who they suit
Range is what the size buys: strategy and naming, identity, website and app design, motion graphics, and signage and exhibition design. An identity can be tested in print, on screen and installed in a building by the same studio.
How they work
Named clients on its own site include the Arts Council, the National Concert Hall, the National Library, Dublin City Council, Tusla, UCD and the Business Post, with work delivered in the UK, Germany, Canada and the United States. No project minimum is published. It suits an organisation whose identity has to hold up across all three of those environments.

5. Dynamo
Best for brand strategy and packaging
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
- Min project
- From €900
Dynamo was founded in Dublin in 1992 by Jamie Helly and has grown from a design studio into a creative consultancy with offices in Dublin and London.
Who they suit
Packaging and consumer brand development are the centre of gravity, with named clients including DAA, Glanbia, Heineken and Green Isle Foods, all brands where the pack is the main point of contact with a buyer. Strategy and naming sit upstream of that, advertising and digital marketing downstream.
How they work
Projects start from 900 euro. One conflict in the listing is worth resolving on a call: the team-size band shows one to ten, while the agency's own account describes more than 32 staff across two offices. It suits an FMCG brand that wants reasoning behind the artwork and needs the identity to work on shelf, on screen and in advertising at once.

6. Idea Dublin
Best for integrated creative consultancy
- Location
- County Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 11-50
- Min project
- From €900
Idea Dublin has worked in the Irish market for around 25 years, with a team of roughly seventeen under creative director Stephen Gibson.
Who they suit
The process runs strategy first. Brand workshops sit upstream of any creative, so identity, website, advertising and video all trace back to the same commercial position. Named clients include AIB, Vodafone, UCD, the National Gallery of Ireland, Savills and Bord Bia, and the studio created the name and original identity for Bloom, Ireland's gardening festival.
How they work
Memberships and certifications on the listing are checkable: the Institute of Advertising Practitioners in Ireland, the Institute of Designers in Ireland, and Google Partner status. Projects start from 900 euro. It suits an organisation that wants the brief interrogated before design starts, and it is over-scoped for a business that only needs artwork produced.

7. New Graphic
Best for user-centred communication design
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
- Min project
- From €900
New Graphic was founded in 2007 by Diarmuid Slattery and David Garavin, who met while completing master's degrees at the London College of Communication. The studio of under ten works from the Liberties in Dublin, in English and French.
Who they suit
The stated test for the work is whether a reader, visitor or exhibition attendee can understand the information, rather than whether the piece looks good. That is a different standard from most studios here and the reason the portfolio leans toward institutions.
How they work
Services cover print, identity, website, and exhibition and touchscreen design. Sectors are arts and culture, public sector, education and non-profits, with projects from 900 euro. It suits a museum, gallery or government department producing accessible communications, and the bilingual capability is rare on this list.

8. Pixelodeesign
Best for logos, brochures and animated assets
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 11-50
- Min project
- From €900
Trading as Pixelo Design, the company works from Richmond Road in Drumcondra, Dublin, and Bridge Street in Ashbourne, County Meath, with a team of 11 to 50.
Who they suit
The offer is aimed at small businesses, startups and local enterprises, and it is packaged around defined deliverables — a logo, a brochure, an explainer video — rather than open-ended strategic programmes. That makes the cost predictable and the scope easy to compare against a quote.
How they work
Services include logo and identity design, brochure and print, animated explainer video and website design, with projects from 900 euro. It suits a small business that knows what it needs made and wants a fixed piece of work. If the brand position itself is unresolved, the strategy-led studios here are the better starting point.

9. Whitespace design agency
Best for branding paired with web design
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
Whitespace is a Dublin studio of under ten covering identity, website design and the full run of corporate print: brochures, annual reports, packaging, presentation decks, information graphics, exhibition stands and signage.
Who they suit
The breadth is the practical point. Nearly everything a business hands to a customer, shows on a screen or mounts on a wall can be designed in one place, which saves a mid- sized company from managing three suppliers.
How they work
Sectors are financial services, hospitality, construction, property and professional services. No project minimum or rate is published and there are no verified reviews. It suits an owner-led business or marketing manager who needs an identity, a suite of sales material and a website without a large agency process attached.

- Website Design
- Brochures and Annual Reports
- Packaging Design
- Exhibition and Signage Design

10. Zero-G
Best for identity for organisations and enterprises
- Location
- County Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
- Min project
- From €900
Zero-G is an independent studio on Capel Street in Dublin with a core team of under ten, working with large organisations in Ireland and internationally.
Who they suit
The named work is the strongest evidence on this page: a unified identity system for the Irish Government, and Ireland's official presence at Expo 2025 in Osaka. Clients include the Abbey Theatre, the Hugh Lane Gallery, the National Museum of Ireland and Trinity College Dublin.
How they work
Services are strategy, identity, naming and brand language, motion and video, and digital design, with projects from 900 euro. It suits an institution or enterprise whose identity has to hold for decades rather than a campaign season. A core team this size delivering work at that scale means asking how the studio resources a large rollout.

Good graphic design makes a brand look consistent and professional across every piece of collateral it produces. What it doesn't do is give a customer a reason to buy from that brand again once they've seen the new look. Looking good and being chosen again are different jobs. Brandfire designs and builds loyalty and rewards programmes for brands across Ireland, the kind of work that starts once the new visual identity is already doing its job.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a brand identity cost in Ireland?
- Published starting budgets here cluster at 1,000 euro, which buys a logo and basic guidelines for a small business. A full identity system covering typography, colour, tone, applications and rollout runs into five figures. The gap between the two is scope, not quality.
- What is the difference between graphic design and brand identity?
- Graphic design produces artefacts: a brochure, a poster, a packaging layout. Brand identity produces a system that governs how all those artefacts should look. If you keep commissioning one-off pieces that do not sit together, you need identity work, not more design.
- Should I hire a freelancer or a studio?
- A freelancer suits a defined piece of work with a clear brief. A studio suits identity work, because it needs several disciplines and a second opinion in the room. Most studios on this list are small enough that you still deal with the designer directly.
- What should a brand identity project deliver?
- Logo files in every required format, a colour and typography system, usage guidelines, and worked examples across the applications you actually use. Ask for source files and confirm you own them outright. Identity work you cannot edit later is a liability.
