Hand-picked Utah County happenings, straight to your inbox. No fluff, no spam, easy to leave.
Search "branding agency utah" and most of page one is directories and one agency's own city pages. This list only includes firms whose Utah office we confirmed on their own website and on a second listing, and it says what kind of business each one is set up to brand.
For a Utah County business that needs a full brand built from scratch, start with PetersenWest in Orem or Hales Creative in Provo. If you need a logo and a website together, call Big Red Jelly in Provo or Fluid22 in Orem. Companies with a physical product that needs packaging should talk to Enlisted Design in Lehi. Before you sign with anyone, get the deliverables in writing and make sure the contract hands you the copyright to the logo.
PetersenWest is on Mountainway Drive in Orem, and branding is the bulk of what it does: its Clutch profile puts branding at half its work, with graphic design, packaging and video making up the rest. The homepage lists three services: brand identity design, custom Shopify websites, and product photography and video. That combination fits a company in Lindon or Springville that sells a physical product online and needs the logo, the store and the photos to match. Its case studies list logos, brand guides, brand strategy and collateral as deliverables.
Hales Creative has its office on University Parkway in north Provo. Its homepage splits the work into brand strategy, brand identity design and brand standards, then adds a long print list: magazines and catalogs, books, brochures, annual reports and packaging. That print side is rare now, and it matters if your brand lives on paper as much as on a screen. It also offers a free brand and marketing audit, which is a low-cost way to hear what a designer thinks is wrong before you commit to a full rebrand.
Big Red Jelly's office is on North University Avenue in Provo, and that is the only office its contact page lists, even though it runs separate pages aimed at Lehi and Salt Lake City searches. Branding is one of several services. The homepage lists brand strategy, positioning, visual identity, messaging, logo design and style guides, and it sells a stand-alone brand guide or custom logo if you do not need the whole package. Most of its work is websites and marketing, so it suits an owner who wants the new logo to show up on a new site the same month.
Fluid22 is on Industrial Park Road in Orem. Its brand development page says a project usually covers the logo, color palette, typography and a style guide showing how to use them, and can grow to include packaging and a new website built around the brand. The same page says the cost depends on scope and that it sends a proposal with a fixed scope before you start, which is the right way to buy branding. Clutch splits its work evenly across branding, strategy, ecommerce and web development.
Enlisted Design lists one office, on Innovation Way in Lehi, and describes itself as a branding, packaging and industrial design firm. Its homepage shows that mix: packaging for an Allbirds shoe launch, a chef blender for Blendtec, and branding for food and pet brands. The site also says it is a Pattern company. This is the shop for a Utah County company putting a product on a store shelf, not for a law office that needs letterhead. Note that its Clutch profile still shows Oakland and Salt Lake addresses, so confirm which team you will work with.
REVITY is a full-service digital marketing agency on 820 East in American Fork. Branding is on its services menu, and the site says it builds everything from a logo to a full identity system. Branding is a small slice of its work, though: Clutch puts most of it in media buying, paid search and SEO. Hire it when the reason you want a new brand is that you are about to spend real money on ads, and you want the people designing the logo to be the people running the campaigns.
Gargle is a dental marketing company in the Executive Way office park in Lehi, and dental practice branding is one of the products on its homepage, next to websites, SEO and ads. Everything on the site is built for dentists. If you are opening a new practice in Saratoga Springs or rebranding after you buy out a retiring dentist in Orem, a firm that already knows how patients choose a dentist is worth a call. Everyone else should skip it.
modern8 is in downtown Salt Lake City, and it is on this list because branding is nearly all it does. Its Clutch profile puts branding, logo and packaging at 90% of its work. The homepage lays out three services in order: brand strategy built on research, then brand design, then brand marketing. It is in Salt Lake County, but branding work is mostly meetings and file reviews, so the drive from Provo matters less than it would for a printer. Its discovery call is free.
We started with the firms that show up for "branding agency utah", "design agency utah" and "creative agency utah", plus the Clutch and DesignRush directories for Utah. Then we opened each firm's website, looked for a street address in a Utah city, and matched it against a second listing. Sites that pointed to another company, a parked domain or a page with no address were cut, and so was any firm whose website and directory listing named different cities.
We kept the list weighted to Utah County, because most Utah branding lists are really Salt Lake lists. modern8 is the one Salt Lake firm, included because it does branding and almost nothing else. The order is our judgment of fit for a local business with one to a few locations, not company size. Nobody paid to be here, and Provo FOMO is not on the list. If you want broader help than a brand, see our list of marketing agencies in Utah County.
Use this to cut the list to two or three calls. The service share comes from each firm's Clutch profile, which the firm fills in itself.
| Firm | Office | Built for | Branding share of work |
|---|---|---|---|
| PetersenWest | Orem | Product brands, Shopify stores | 50% (Clutch) |
| Hales Creative | Provo | Print-heavy organizations | 30% (Clutch) |
| Big Red Jelly | Provo | Small business logo plus website | 10% (Clutch) |
| Fluid22 | Orem | Logo refresh plus website | 20% (Clutch) |
| Enlisted Design | Lehi | Packaging and product design | Branding, packaging, industrial design (own site) |
| REVITY | American Fork | Brand plus ad campaigns | 5% (Clutch) |
| Gargle | Lehi | Dental practices only | One of several dental services (own site) |
| modern8 | Salt Lake City | Branding only | 60% branding, 90% with logo and packaging (Clutch) |
The names overlap, so go by what the firm makes. A branding agency decides what your business is called, what it says about itself and what it looks like, and it hands you a logo and a style guide. A design agency or design studio makes things to that guide: websites, brochures, packaging, trade show booths. A creative agency usually means ads and campaigns, and a marketing agency is the one that buys the media and runs it.
Most small Utah County businesses do not need all four. A landscaping company in Spanish Fork with a dated logo needs a branding project and a website, which is what Big Red Jelly and Fluid22 sell. A supplement brand going into retail needs packaging, which points to Enlisted or PetersenWest. If the brand is fine and the phone is quiet, you need marketing, not a new logo, and our list of web design companies in Provo and Orem or the marketing agencies list is the better place to start.
The logo is the smallest part of a branding project. What you are really paying for is a set of files and rules you can hand to the sign shop, the embroidery shop and the next web designer without calling the agency. Ask each firm for its list of final deliverables before you sign, and compare the lists.
One item matters more than the rest: copyright. The U.S. Copyright Office's circular on works made for hire says a commissioned work is only owned by the person who paid for it in nine specific categories, with a signed agreement. A logo is not one of them. Ordinarily the person who created the work owns it, so your contract needs a written assignment of copyright to your business once you pay.
None of the eight firms on this list posts a branding price on its website. Every one asks you to book a call or request a quote. Fluid22 is the most direct about how it prices: its brand page says cost depends on scope and that it sends a proposal with a fixed scope before you start. Get that from whoever you hire, so a logo project does not quietly grow into a website, a photo shoot and a second round of revisions you did not budget for.
The cheapest way to cut the cost is to show up prepared. Bring the names of three local competitors, a list of where the logo has to appear (a van door, a 16 foot sign on State Street, an Instagram avatar), and any colors you refuse to use. An agency that does not have to guess spends fewer billable hours guessing. Our free AI 101 class also shows owners how to draft a written brand brief with ChatGPT before the first call.
If the project includes a new business name, check it before the designer draws anything. Search the name on the Utah Division of Corporations business search, then on the USPTO trademark search, then on Google with your city. A logo for a name someone in Lehi already registered is money you will spend twice.
The Division's current fee schedule, effective July 1, 2025, lists a DBA (assumed name) registration at $22 and a Utah state trademark at $50 for the first class of goods or services, plus $25 for each extra class. A federal trademark through the USPTO costs more and covers the whole country. The USPTO defines a trademark as any word, phrase, symbol or design that identifies your goods or services, which is why the logo itself can be registered once it is final.
A new name and logo do nothing if your regular customers do not recognize the new sign. Plan the reveal the same way you would plan an opening: update the Google Business Profile the same day, swap the photos, post it, and tell the people who already buy from you.
One option is a local newsletter. We sell ads in Provo FOMO, so weigh this with that in mind: it goes to about 3,100 Utah County readers, a single-issue ad costs $99, and the details are on our advertise page. A listing in the Provo FOMO Local Directory is $99 a month and puts the new name and logo in front of people looking for local businesses.
