Logo Design

Your logo is the cornerstone of your brand. It’s the first impression, the symbol that customers remember, and the visual shorthand for your values. We design custom logos that are clean, timeless, and meaningful. Whether you’re a startup in need of a brand-new identity or an established company looking to refresh your image, we work closely with you to understand your business and translate that into a logo that speaks volumes.

Brand Strategy

Behind every strong brand is a thoughtful strategy. We help our clients define their voice, positioning, and personality through in-depth discovery sessions and collaborative workshops. From messaging and tone to color palettes and type systems, we develop cohesive brand systems that ensure consistency across every touchpoint — online, in print, and beyond. Our strategic process lays the groundwork for all your future design and marketing efforts.

Print Layout & Editorial Design

Print is far from dead — it’s thriving, and it’s beautiful. We bring your message to life through expertly designed brochures, business cards, catalogs, annual reports, posters, signage, and more. Our layouts are visually engaging and meticulously crafted, ensuring that your printed materials make a strong and lasting impression. Whether you're promoting a product, sharing a story, or delivering critical information, we make sure it looks as good as it reads.

Packaging Design

Great packaging does more than hold a product — it tells a story, communicates value, and attracts customers. We design packaging that stands out on shelves and captures the essence of your brand. From food and beverage to cosmetics and consumer goods, we consider every detail — structure, materials, colors, typography — to deliver packaging that’s both functional and beautiful.

More Graphic Design

While we specialize in the core areas of branding and print, our services don’t stop there. We also offer digital design solutions, including social media graphics, banner ads, event branding, merchandise design, and more. Whatever your creative needs, we bring the same level of care, creativity, and professionalism to every project, big or small.

Personalized Service, Local Expertise

As a small studio, we take pride in building strong relationships with our clients. We’re not a large agency with layers of bureaucracy. You’ll work directly with the designers who bring your vision to life, ensuring clear communication and a collaborative process throughout. We understand the local Tacoma market, but we also bring a fresh, modern perspective that resonates far beyond the Pacific Northwest.

Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to elevate your current brand, Hemisphere is here to help. Let’s create something exceptional together.

Client stories

TAPCO Credit Union

Rebranding

+

We helped TAPCO Credit Union with a stem-to-stern rebrand process. It started with extensive research and exploration. It ended with a brand, marketing materials, and re-designed branches that employees were proud of. The new brand helped TAPCO recruit new employees and attract younger members, a demographic that had been eluding them. The rebrand also turned heads, helping TAPCO nab several CUNA Diamond Awards (the “Academy Awards” of the credit union industry). We staid on for several years as TAPCO’s agency of record helping them make a splash with everything from billboards to video marketing and digital ad campaigns.

Tribal C-Store Association

Print design

+

After renaming and rebranding the Tribal Convenience Store Association (TCSA), it was time to bring its brand to life with high-quality print pieces designed to make the association stand out at trade shows. With vibrant brand colors inspired by everything from beadwork to turquoise jewelry, TCSA’s print pieces begged for bright splashes of color. The new brand and print collateral helped increase this nonprofit’s credibility as a national player in Indian Country. We combined these face-to-face marketing efforts with email, video, and social media marketing to grow the association’s membership into previously unreached states like Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, Utah, and Alaska.

Carpinito Brothers

Web design

+

The Carpinito Brothers farm is more than a source of fresh food for Western Washington. It’s a destination. They’re well known for seasonal attractions including a locally famous pumpkin patch and corn maze. Success for today’s local farmer relies on having multiple revenue streams, but a complicated business model like Carpinito’s with a farm stand, garden center, landscaping materials operation, online ordering, and more, meant they needed a website that could do a lot while looking clean, modern, and easy to navigate. Our team provided web design, photography, and content support the helped position Carpinito as a wholesome, family-friendly destination and web development that gave them all the technology they needed. This successful project opened the doors for further projects including video production and digital marketing.

Working with us

What’s it like to work with your team?

Creative agencies are a little different by design. So, what is it like to work with us? In a word, enjoyable. Whether you represent a school district or run marketing for a manufacturer, expect a meeting with Hemisphere to be a breath of fresh air in your day. Don’t be surprised if Tuesdays at our office look like casual Friday’s at yours. Don’t be surprised if you literally LOL in a meeting with us. Don’t be surprised if our work exceeds your expectations. Don’t be surprised when you get to talk to the graphic designer on your project not just an account rep. And don’t be surprised if one project turns into the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

How much does graphic design cost?

Graphic design costs vary depending on location, experience, and project. You’ll find hourly rates for graphic designers range from $20 an hour at the low end up to $350 at the top end. Where do we fall? Smack in the middle of that range. And as one of the more experienced Tacoma graphic design firms, we’re confident that we’ll bring you great value. A lower rate doesn’t always result in a cheaper project. Quite often, it will take an inexperienced designer longer to complete a project, canceling out the value of their lower rate. We pride ourselves on producing excellent work on an efficient timeline with minimal change orders.

Freelance graphic designer vs agency?

What’s the best choice for your project, a freelance graphic designer or a design agency? It depends. If you have a tight budget and the luxury of time, a quality freelancer will probably serve you best. We hate to say it, but there it is. If you need a faster turnaround, a mix of multiple skillsets, a massive amount of work, and/or an ironclad process, a full-service graphic design agency like Hemisphere is likely the right fit for you. We’re well versed in creating compelling brand consistency across multiple channels and mediums. And we can handle everything from research and strategy to design and deployment.
