HOW WE
WORK

your dedicated team of designers will map out
a project schedule which will have a duration of
between 1–2 months.
Meetings will be arranged at crucial project stages
to get your input and approval before moving on to
the next stage. Experienced instructors guide Studio
Nuvo designers through every step of the design

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I just want to express that it’s been
an absolute pleasure to have Studio
Nuvo work on the design of my
brand. The results were beyond my
expectations. At the beginning, I was
not clear on how I wanted my logo to
look and I wouldn’t be able to have a
clear vision without the options you
provided me based on my values and
interest in this business.

8 | Testimonials

It was a pleasure working with
Studio Nuvo. They helped our
company to redesign the logo for
our brand. They surpassed our
expectations at every step in the
design process. Their creative punch
and thoughts from the initial concept
to the final round of the logo design
were impressive. We would be glad
to collaborate with Studio Nuvo
again in the future, as our company is
evolving, and more exciting projects
are to come.
Tolonbek, Founder, Lovabit

so helpful, I look forward to working
