Freelance Brand Designer – Logo and Brand Starter Kit (Short Paid Contract)

ZovianGames

Zovian Games is looking for a talented freelance brand designer to help us craft a strong visual foundation for our brand! We're not looking for a full branding suite, just the essentials to get us moving, build community presence, and present ourselves with clarity and personality.

This is a short term paid contract, perfect for someone who loves creating bold, expressive visual identities and is excited to help shape a brand from its earliest days. We want something clean, adaptable, and expressive that gives us a confident public face and helps us start building trust and recognition from day one. We’re a passionate team building something special, and we can’t wait to find the right creative partner to help shape how the world sees Zovian!

We’re looking for a creative partner who can help define the visual and tonal core of our brand. Final deliverables should include:

• Logo
  • The Primary Logo - complete brand identifier, featuring all key elements like the business name and graphics, used for prominent branding
  • Simplified Logo - A stripped-down logo for small spaces. Should be legible and effective as an icon, profile image, or watermark.
• Color Palette
  • Primary color set
  • Accent or secondary colors
• Typography
  • Headline and body fonts
  • Clear, readable type hierarchy
• Social Media Kit
  • Profile icon or icons
  • Basic banners for platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn

Requirements

• Strong portfolio with branding and logo design experience
• Ability to explain your creative process and design decisions
• Solid understanding of typography, color theory, layout, shape language, and brand cohesion
• Comfortable working independently while being open to feedback
• Able to deliver final assets in standard formats such as vector files, PNGs, and font files
• Available for occasional check-ins during Pacific Time (PT) working hours

Nice to Have

• Experience designing social kits for indie games, startups, or creator-focused brands
• Strategic thinking that connects visual identity to audience engagement
• Familiarity with platforms like Discord, Twitch, and other game-adjacent communities
• Proficient written and spoken English for meetings and collaboration

Additional Information

• AI-generated design portfolios will NOT be considered. We value thoughtful, human-crafted design and want to see your personal vision shine through!
• We are able to work with contractors based in California, but you must operate as a registered business entity due to state-specific legal requirements.
• In order for your talent and skills to reach us, please communicate through our official email. Due to the number of applicants we receive, if you contact us through other channels, your application may get lost or overlooked. So help us help you!
