Graphic Design is embedded in Chicago’s SOUL.

Chicago has a long, well-celebrated history of design, art and architecture. You can find local creative-minded artists, designers and writers alike in all parts of the city. It’s easy to observe the importance of Chicagoans’ artistic influence when strolling through Chicago’s many culturally diverse art-neighborhoods. Design and art are everywhere in this concrete metropolis. Local street art, graffiti, huge murals and variety of art galleries thrive throughout each branch of the 183+ year old city. Not to mention the historical Printer’s Row District where printing and publishing companies thrived for decades and you can still smell the letterpresses, ink and paper.

1Brand Graphic Design Studios is proud to have made Chicago it’s home. Our Chicago-based team of artists, graphic designers, web developers and digital marketers always connect and obsess over the city’s culturally artistic soul and history. We find our creative inspiration and motivation from our pure obsession with our beloved city—not with gourmet coffee and old 10-speed bicycles (although, we admit we do think those things are cool).

Reach out to us to learn how our team of graphic designers can help your local small business stand out in a city blanketed with diverse culture, art and history.

Logo design & branding is in our genetics.

Literally, it is. All of our families grew up in commercial art. Our parents worked as typesetters, illustrators, painters, carpenters and all of the above. It’s no wonder we got into graphic design.
