A look at recent identities, from our own mark to the small businesses we have helped launch.
Vertical Logo Knox Bingo was a unique challenge because Knox Bingo itself is so unique. We needed to create an identity that felt fun and approachable, while making two things immediately clear: this is bingo, and it’s all about community.

Main Logo Lazy M Farms is a versatile farm based in Corryton, Tennessee. From raising beef cattle to creating custom cutting boards, they do a little bit of everything. So before we could build the brand, we needed to answer one important question: What is at the heart of Lazy M Farms?

Nicholas HensleyOwner and Lead Brand Designer Our team takes immense pride in the work we do, because your success is a reflection of our own. You will not find a more dedicated or hardworking team, ready to bring your vision to life and do whatever it takes to keep your brand strong, consistent, and beautiful.
Design that knows the way.
We practice what we preach. Our own logo package was built with the same discipline we bring to every client: a full logo, an alternate, and an icon, designed to stay consistent everywhere it shows up.
To prove the point, we ran the same brief through the leading AI tools. The attempts looked fine at a glance, then fell apart in the details that matter: embroidery, scaling, and long-term consistency. Hands-on experience is what sets us apart, because AI does not know what we know.

Nicholas was great to work with when rebranding my business model. He was very professional and prompt... highly recommend giving him a call!
Very professional, super great designs, fairly priced and get it to you on time. Would highly recommend!
Great job on my company shirts and door hangers would recommend for other businesses
Nicolas was great to work with and provided a great new design for my business logos!
Nicholas used some psychology in designing my flyer- and I love it!
We were in need of a logo and graphics and Compass Studio was friendly and helpful with the designs and direction. We appreciated the communication and care that they put into the work we asked for.
Nick does fantastic, fast, high quality work!
Every great logo starts with understanding your business. Our process begins with a short questionnaire designed to help us understand who you are, what you do, and what sets your company apart. This is also your opportunity to share any inspiration, ideas, color preferences, or creative direction you may already have in mind. Once the questionnaire is complete, we begin the design process. You can typically expect your first logo concept within 2–3 business days. From there, we’ll review the concept together and discuss any revisions by email or phone. Your feedback is then incorporated into the next version, typically delivered within another 2–3 business days. We continue refining the design together until you’re 100% confident in your new logo.
Every logo we design comes with our Love It Guarantee. If you do not love the final result, you get your money back. A logo is the start of your company and we believe every client should feel completely confident in their foundation. If we cannot deliver that, we do not want your money.
Absolutely. While logo design and brand identity are at the core of what we do, we also design a wide range of supporting materials to help keep your brand professional and consistent everywhere it appears. This can include business cards, apparel, signage, vehicle graphics, social media graphics, print materials, and more. These projects are typically included as part of a larger branding package or completed as one-off projects for existing brands. Whatever we’re designing, the goal stays the same: make sure your business looks professional, recognizable, and consistent everywhere your customers see it.
We have a large network of printers we work with to make starting your company as effortless as possible. All physical product expenses are bundled into the same invoice as your art fees, so all you do is pay us and pick your package up right off your front door.
Tell us about your company and what you have in mind. Nicholas will get back to you personally.
We got your request and will get back to you the same day. If it is urgent, call Nicholas Hensley at (423) 218-0495.
