If you are hiring a branding agency in Bangalore, the lists that rank today have two problems. Two of them name the same nine agencies, and none of them gives a single rupee figure. This list fixes both.
Every studio below is based in Bengaluru and does branding as a core service. We checked each on 23 October 2026 against its own site and Clutch or DesignRush, and where sources disagree, on a founding year for example, we show both. Gleam is first because we publish the list, and its entry says where we are and are not the right fit.
This guide is for founders and marketing heads choosing a partner for a new brand, a rebrand, or a brand plus website.
The shortlist at a glance
Branding studios differ more by the kind of client they serve than by size, so the table is sorted around that.
| Studio | Area | Known for | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gleam Studio | Bengaluru | Identity carried into a Webflow site | Startups needing brand and website together |
| Studio Sorted | JP Nagar | Consumer brands, packaging, spaces | Food and lifestyle brands |
| Parentheses | HSR Layout | Identity plus packaging | FMCG, food and real estate |
| Spread Design and Innovation | Aavalahalli | Institutional and place branding | Airports, schools, hospitals, hospitality |
| Small Town Folk | Cooke Town | Strategy, naming, architecture | Founders who need the thinking first |
| Mellow Designs | Indiranagar | Brand plus Shopify and campaigns | D2C and real estate brands |
| NOW Media | Hall Road | Published price bands | Buyers who want a number first |
| Tea & Oranges Design | Murugeshpalya | Identity plus publications | Nonprofits and foundations |
| Spacekayak | Koramangala | Startup identity, decks, landing pages | AI, SaaS and crypto startups |
| ThunderClap | Jayanagar | B2B brand and website | B2B SaaS companies |
The top 10 branding agencies in Bangalore
Ratings and minimums are from Clutch on 23 October 2026 unless another source is named. Award claims and results are the studios' own.
1. Gleam Studio
Our list, our studio first. Gleam is a Bengaluru studio and an official Webflow Certified Partner, and our branding rests on one idea: identity and website are designed as a single system. The colours, type and components in your guidelines are the ones running on the live Webflow site, so the brand has no gap to drift into between the logo file and the website.
Alongside identity we create design systems, social media creatives and motion, and our recent projects for LucidOps and Financiario in the US are shown on gleamstudio.design. Come to us if you need a new identity and a website that launch together and stay consistent. Go elsewhere for packaging, retail spaces or signage: Studio Sorted, Parentheses and Spread, below, are far stronger in physical branding.

2. Studio Sorted
MG Motor's "100 Years of MG" campaign, a rebrand and mascot for Theka Coffee, and pro bono packaging for Food Pharmer show Studio Sorted's range. WeWork India, Sony Music, Fi Money, Cult Fit and Mokobara are also among its clients.
The JP Nagar studio covers brand strategy, naming, identity, packaging, signage and spatial branding, plus websites. DesignRush dates it to 2016 while its own footer starts at 2019, and lists a $10,000 to $25,000 minimum; it shows 4.8 on Google from 19 reviews. Best for: consumer, food and lifestyle brands that need identity, packaging and physical spaces from one team.
3. Parentheses
With 5.0 from 29 Clutch reviews, Parentheses is the most reviewed branding studio we found in the city. It has been in Bengaluru since 2014, with offices in Hyderabad and Goa, and its work splits between branding, packaging and web design.
Clutch reviews describe a rebrand and website for Vashini Exports and naming, logo, packaging and signage for Rusbury. The minimum is $10,000+ at $150–$199 an hour, and reviewers report project costs mostly between $10,000 and $49,000. Food, FMCG and real estate brands that need identity and packaging designed together should talk to it first.
4. Spread Design and Innovation
Spread brands places and institutions as much as products: GMR's Goa and Visakhapatnam airports, Taneira for Titan, Manipal Education and Medical Group and Ekya Schools. According to Spread, its identity for ICB Indian Craft Brewery, which included a custom typeface, won a Red Dot Design Award in 2025.
The studio was founded in Bengaluru in 2015 and works from the Design Barn on Aavalahalli Main Road. We found no Clutch profile and no published pricing. Choose it when the brand has to work in physical spaces, as it does for airports, schools, hospitals and hospitality.
5. Small Town Folk
Founders who know the product but not yet the positioning or the name are Small Town Folk's natural clients. The Cooke Town studio of about 13 people leads with strategy: brand architecture, purpose and positioning, naming and employer branding, then identity, packaging and motion.
Its site names Yogabar, Amintiri, Dish Sling and Societal Platform. Competing lists date it to 2016 and a directory to 2018; its own site does not say. We could not retrieve its Clutch profile. Hire it when you want the thinking done before anyone draws a logo.
6. Mellow Designs
Mellow is an Indiranagar studio founded in 2018 that combines branding with UI, Shopify and Webflow builds, films and campaigns. Its site names Titan, Giva, 3M, DLF and Puravankara, and reports 2.2x ecommerce growth for Helios.
It quotes three to four months for identity and packaging. Clutch shows 4.8 from two reviews, a $10,000+ minimum and $25–$49 an hour, and it publishes its own Bangalore branding list with itself first. It makes the most sense for D2C and real estate brands that want branding, a store and campaigns from one partner.
7. NOW Media
NOW Media is the only Bangalore branding studio we found that publishes prices on its site: ₹5 lakh to ₹25 lakh for branding and ₹6 lakh to ₹20 lakh for websites. Founded in 2019 by Nithin Koshy and Divya Maben, it works from Hall Road and reports 250+ projects in seven years.
Its services are brand identity, websites and web apps, AI automation and content, for clients including Gawky Goose, Pibbles Bakery and Dr. Pal's NewME. Best for: founders who want a clear budget band before booking a call.

8. Tea & Oranges Design
Research-led and social impact work is where Tea & Oranges is strongest: "The Sonnets" for TATA Coffee, identity, website and a white paper for The Echo Network, branding for Handloom Foundation, and work for the INK Conference.
It is a team of under ten in Murugeshpalya, founded in 2019, and half its work is branding, with UX and packaging making up the rest. Clutch shows 5.0 from one review, a $5,000+ minimum and $25–$49 an hour. Nonprofits, foundations and research organisations that need identity plus reports and publications are the clients it suits.
9. Spacekayak
Venture-backed startups preparing for a fundraise or launch are Spacekayak's market. It builds brand identities, verbal identity, pitch decks and landing pages; its Clutch work includes brand and web for HyperVerge, several projects for Polygon and a website redesign for Instadapp, and Sarvam AI appears on its client list.
It was founded in 2021, with its India base in Koramangala and a US entity in Delaware. Clutch shows 4.5 from one review, a $10,000+ minimum and $50–$99 an hour. Pick it if you are an AI, SaaS or crypto startup and the pitch deck matters as much as the logo.
10. ThunderClap
ThunderClap treats the website as the centre of the brand. The Jayanagar 9th Block agency focuses on B2B and SaaS companies and quotes eight to ten weeks for a branding project. It also publishes a Bangalore B2B branding list.
Clutch shows 4.8 from seven reviews, a $25,000+ minimum and $50–$99 an hour, the highest minimum on this list. B2B SaaS companies that want positioning, identity and a website planned as one project, and can meet that minimum, should shortlist it.
What branding costs in Bangalore
None of the ranking lists gives a rupee figure, so here is what the studios and marketplaces themselves publish. These are vendor and marketplace numbers, not a survey, but together they show three clear bands.
| Scope | Who usually does it | Published range |
|---|---|---|
| Logo and basic guidelines | Freelancer, marketplace or small studio | ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 |
| Identity system: logo, type, colour, guidelines, templates | Small to mid-size studio | Clutch minimums of $5,000–$10,000 |
| Strategy, naming and full identity | Established studio | ₹5,00,000–₹25,00,000 |
Sources: the logo band is from the Bangalore design agency guide published by Growth Hackers. Logo contests on 99designs run $249 to $1,050 for comparison, and our guide to logo design cost in India breaks that first tier down further.
The identity band reflects Clutch minimums for Tea & Oranges, Mellow, Spacekayak and Parentheses. The top band is NOW Media's published branding range, and the same Growth Hackers guide puts comprehensive branding at ₹5 to 15 lakh and more. Packaging, retail spaces and a website add to every band.
One studio for brand and website, or two?
Using one team avoids a familiar rebrand failure: a new identity that never makes it properly onto the website. Several studios here do both, including Gleam, Mellow, NOW Media and Spacekayak. If you hire two, make the brand studio hand over a real design system, not just a logo file, and make sure the website is built on a platform your team can edit.
Our guide to design services costs in India covers website and design pricing in more detail, and our list of web design companies in Bangalore covers studios that build sites.
Want a price for brand and website together?
Share what you need, from logo to full site. We will send a free scoped quote that shows what each part costs, so you can compare studios like for like.
Our rule for choosing: first decide whether your brand will mostly live on shelves and in spaces, or on screens. For the first, start with Studio Sorted, Parentheses or Spread. For the second, pick a branding agency in Bangalore that also builds the website, or one that hands over a full design system your web team can use.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a branding agency cost in Bangalore?
A logo with basic guidelines usually costs ₹50,000 to ₹2 lakh. A full identity system from an established studio starts around Clutch minimums of $5,000 to $10,000. Strategy, naming and identity from a well-known studio runs ₹5 lakh to ₹25 lakh, per NOW Media's published range. Packaging and a website cost extra.
Which is the best branding agency in Bangalore?
There is no single best one, because branding studios specialise. Studio Sorted and Parentheses are strongest on packaging and consumer brands, Small Town Folk on positioning and naming, and Spread on places and institutions. Startups that need a brand and a website together should look at Gleam or Spacekayak first, then compare past clients with their own business.
How long does a branding project take?
Most identity projects take six weeks to three months. ThunderClap quotes eight to ten weeks, while Mellow quotes three to four months for identity and packaging. Projects that include research, naming, packaging or retail spaces take longer, so plan your launch date around the studio's timeline.
What does a branding agency do?
A branding agency researches your market and audience, defines positioning and messaging, may name the business, and then designs the visual identity: logo, typography, colour and guidelines. Many also apply it to packaging, signage, social templates and the website, so the brand looks the same everywhere customers meet it.
How do I choose a branding agency?
Start with fit, not fame: shortlist studios whose past clients look like your business, whether that means packaging, B2B SaaS or institutions. Check the Clutch review count beside the rating, and the minimum project size against your budget. Then ask what you will receive at handover, ideally a full design system rather than a logo file, and who will apply it to your website.
