Typography, color, photography direction, brand voice — the details that make River North businesses look polished and trustworthy to Chicago customers. We design all of it.
Branding Near River North
Brand consistency is the mechanical part of brand building that most River North businesses fail at. The logo looks different in color vs. grayscale. The website fonts don't match the business card. The social media graphics look nothing like the email template. Each inconsistency erodes the cumulative trust that consistent brand exposure builds. CodeWCG delivers brand guidelines as a core deliverable: exactly how to apply the brand across every channel and context — digital, print, social, environmental — so your River North business looks like one coherent entity rather than a patchwork in the Chicago market.
The visual identity work CodeWCG delivers for River North businesses includes everything you need to apply your brand consistently: primary logo and variations (horizontal, stacked, icon-only), color palette with specific hex, RGB, and Pantone codes, typography system with usage hierarchy, and a brand pattern or texture if appropriate for the Chicago market. These aren't decoration — each element is chosen to communicate something specific to Finance & Trading and Technology buyers.
We deliver files in every format you'll actually need: vector source files for print and large-format use, web-optimized PNGs and SVGs for digital, and color variants for different backgrounds. You own them outright. No licensing, no coming back to us just to change a phone number.

Branding Near River North — FAQ
How long does branding take for a River North business?
Brand identity projects typically run 6-10 weeks: 2 weeks for strategy and discovery, 2-3 weeks for initial design concepts, 2 weeks for revisions, and 1 week for final deliverables and guidelines. We keep you involved throughout, not just at the final reveal.
Can you rebrand my existing Chicago business?
Yes. Rebrands are often more complex than new brands because we have to manage equity in your existing brand — what to keep, what to evolve, what to kill. We do a brand audit first, then develop the new identity with your existing customers and recognition in mind.
Do you work with startups or only established River North businesses?
Both. Startups often need branding most urgently because they're making first impressions. Established Chicago businesses need it when growth has outpaced their original brand or when they're repositioning for a different market. Different situations, same process.
Will my new brand work across digital and print?
Yes. We deliver all assets in formats that work everywhere: screen-optimized files for web and social, vector files for print and signage, and guidelines specifying how the brand should be applied in each context. Nothing looks off because it was only designed for one medium.
