Fixed scope.  No agency bloat.

4x weeks. 3x calls. Everything else async. Most agencies charge $30-100k and drag it out 3-9 months for the same outcome.

Not Launch-Ready? You Get 2 More Weeks. Free.

If Week 4 isn't quite there, you get 2 extra weeks at no additional cost. No extensions, no excuses, no extra bills.

Why Blue cyclops?

First, our little blue guy has a name, Bob the Blue Cyclops and he's been with me for most of my life.

When I was a kid, I had an imaginary friend who protected me. He was a 50ft tall blue cyclops named... you guessed it, Bob. I used to imagine so many great adventures with Bob but as time went on he slipped from my memory.

He came back into my life in college as my personal avatar and logo. However, I had no idea he was there before until after I started Blue Cyclops.

One brand system, built to launch. Five stages, four weeks, no detours.

Every Brand Sprint runs through the same five stages. Clarify, Roam, Anchor, Fine-Tune, Transfer (CRAFT™). It's the same methodology I've used on every engagement, from B2B SaaS startups to nine-year-old companies. The acronym isn't decoration. It's the discipline that makes the work repeatable, sharp, and shippable in four weeks.

01 Clarify the Story

You leave week one with a story everyone on your team tells the exact same way.

02 Roam the Possibilities

You see two real creative directions and pick the one that fits where you're going.

03 Anchor the Brand

You get one complete identity system: logo, color, type, and a clear visual point of view.

04 Fine-Tune the System

You get a polished hero asset built around the new brand and ready to put to work.

05 Transfer the Keys

You get the full Figma brand guide so your team can run the brand from day one.

Week 1

Story Extraction → Strategy Brief + Mood Boards

Week 2

Visual Explorations → 2x Visual Directions

Week 3

Hero Asset Design → Asset Built in Figma

Week 4

Refinement + Handoff → Brand Guide

"We came to Blue Cyclops with a lot of challenges and left with an incredibly strong brand, revitalized team morale, and the best time our team has ever had collaborating. Well worth the investment."

When it comes to branding and design, Rocky is a literal hero. He masterfully captured the goals of my business and took my self-made brand identity from “bleh” to a polished, professional, yet welcoming appearance. I highly recommend him for anyone considering a branding or web design project.
