Graphic Design · Glasgow G3 · Hamilton ML3
Graphic design in Glasgow — logo design, brochure design, flyer design and brand identity from Glasgow GFX, the Washington Street studio.
We design logos, brochures, flyers, business cards and full brand identities from our Washington Street studio in Glasgow. Same studio, same team, same week — your design gets printed on our presses without ever leaving the building.
What we design
Six services we run through the studio every week — fixed pricing, fixed timelines and files that work for print and screen.
Logo Design
Three concept routes, two refinement rounds and a clean hand-off pack — everything you need for print, web, social and a one-page mini brand sheet.

See pricingWhy graphic design in Glasgow needs a print partner
The hardest part of most graphic design projects is not the design — it is the hand-off to print. A logo that looked perfect on a designer's MacBook turns up on an uncoated stock with muddy blacks. A brochure goes to press without bleed and the binder trims into the body copy. The designer blames the printer; the printer blames the files; you pay for the reprint. We have heard the same story from new Glasgow clients more times than we can count.
Running design and print under one roof at Unit 204b, Washington Street fixes that. The same studio that draws the logo is the studio that mixes the ink and watches the first sheet come off the press. There is no file pack-up, no FTP, no second supplier learning your brand colours from scratch. When the proof is wrong we walk twelve feet and fix it. When you need to see the stock before signing off, you drop in to G3 or the Hamilton ML3 collection point and we hand you the real thing.
It is also faster and usually cheaper. A standalone graphic designer in Glasgow will quote you for design, you will then quote three printers, one of them will be the cheapest, the design files will need three revisions to match their preflight, and the whole thing has taken three weeks instead of one. Integrated studios cut that to a single line item on a single invoice with a single deadline.
Our process
Four stages, fixed price, no hourly drift. Most projects run two to three weeks end to end; rush turnarounds available.
- Step 01
Brief
A 30–45 minute call (in studio, on Zoom, or over coffee in Hamilton) to pin down what the work has to do — audience, tone, where it appears, what it replaces. We send a written scope and a fixed quote within the working day.
- Step 02
Concepts
You get three genuinely different concept routes — not three tints of the same idea. Presented as PDF with the thinking written out so you can show colleagues or partners without us in the room.
- Step 03
Refinement
Two structured rounds of refinement on the chosen route. Type, spacing, colour, application across whatever it has to live on. Extra rounds at £75/hr, but most projects do not need them.
- Step 04
Print or hand-off
For print jobs we move straight onto the press at Washington Street — no re-quoting, no file re-supply. For digital-only deliverables you get a complete asset pack ready for print, web, social and a guidelines sheet.
Frequently asked questions
How much does graphic design cost in Glasgow?
Our graphic design services start at £99 for a single-piece business card layout and run to £2,500+ for full brand identity systems. Logo design alone is from £299; a complete brochure design is from £349. We give a fixed quote upfront — no creep, no hourly billing surprises.
Do you handle both design and printing?
Yes — that is the point of working with us. We design in-house at Washington Street and print on the same site. One quote, one timeline, one point of contact from concept to delivery. Most studios outsource the print; we own it.
How long does logo design take?
A standard logo project takes 7–10 working days from brief to final files. We deliver three rounds of concepts, two rounds of refinement, and ship the complete file set. Rush turnarounds (3–5 days) are available with a 25% surcharge.
Can you redesign an existing logo or brand?
Yes. Rebrands typically start with a 90-minute brand audit (£149) where we work through what is working, what needs to evolve, and how the visual identity ties to where the business is heading. From there we cost the rebrand against the scope agreed.
Do you work with clients outside Glasgow?
Most of our design work is remote — Zoom for discovery, Slack/email for iterations, file transfer for hand-off. We have clients across the UK from London to the Highlands. Glasgow and Hamilton clients can drop into the studio in person if they prefer.
