Brand identity designer · Canada
I am Jakaria Mahmud, a brand identity designer and logo designer working with founders and teams across Canada, from Toronto and Vancouver to Montreal and Calgary. I build brands with a business mindset: clear positioning first, then a logo, identity system and guidelines that work in English and French and hold up next to US competitors.
At a glance
A brand identity designer for Canada builds the whole system a business shows the market: positioning, logo, colour, typography and the brand guidelines that keep it consistent. I am Jakaria Mahmud, a brand identity designer and logo designer working remotely with clients in Canada, with a fixed price, a written brief and full file ownership once the project is paid in full.
The Canada market
Canadian buyers compare you with US and global brands, but they value honesty and modesty over hype. A brand that is clear, credible and works in both official languages wins their trust.
Your site and deck sit beside well funded US competitors, so the identity has to feel just as considered.
Names, taglines and layouts that work in both languages, which matters for Quebec and national brands.
Plain, useful messaging that says what you do and who it is for, backed by proof.
What you get
Every project starts with positioning and ends with a system your team can use for years without guessing.
Who you serve, why you win and how to say it, agreed in writing before design starts.
A primary logo, a compact mark and an app or social icon that work at every size.
Colour, typography and imagery rules that keep every touchpoint consistent in both languages.
Pitch, sales and capability decks in the new identity.
Landing pages that turn search traffic into enquiries and booked calls.
A practical guide for your team, printers and partners, with English and French versions planned.

Services
Every service runs remotely with the same written brief, fixed price and full handover. Each one has its own page with scope, process and pricing.
Other markets
Yes. Work runs on a shared Figma file with written weekly updates and video calls when they help. Toronto mornings are my evening in Dhaka, so you get feedback by your next morning, and calls can be booked early in your day.
Yes. Names, taglines and the type system are checked in both languages. Quebec rules give French a prominent place on signs, packaging and websites, so layouts are planned for both versions. Final French copy comes from your team or a professional translator.
Pricing is fixed in US dollars. The Launch plan is $799 one time for a logo, brand starter kit and one landing page. A full identity with guidelines and website is part of the Partner plan at $1,999 per month, and the Growth plan at $3,999 per month adds sales systems, lead generation and advanced SEO.
I am based outside Canada, so GST or HST is usually not added to my invoices. Ask your accountant how sales tax applies to services your business buys from abroad.
I design with clearance in mind and recommend a search with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), ideally with a trademark agent, before you launch the name and logo.
You do. All files and the full rights transfer to you once the project is paid in full, with the Figma source and guidelines.
He is a senior brand identity designer with 80+ clients across 12 countries, $1.4M+ in client revenue impacted and a 5.0 rating on Google from 8 reviews. You work directly with him from positioning to final files, at a fixed price in US dollars agreed in writing, and you can read full case studies in fintech, EV charging, construction and logistics before you book.
