Helping small town businesses look as good as they deserve.
Gridline Studio helps independent businesses build brands that feel cohesive, current, and memorable with complete rebrands, logos and typography, signage, social media, and websites.
See the piece before you commission it.
Every service, shown as work — from a single mark to a full brand system, applications, websites, and race liveries.
À la carte. Pick what you need.
A studio of one, rooted in small towns.
Gridline Studio is an independent practice, raised in small-town communities and now based in Chicago. It's built for the shops, cafés, and gyms that anchor a main street but rarely get design attention priced for them.
Brand work, priced à la carte.
Logos and typography, color systems, signage, social media, and websites, priced piece by piece, never hourly work, with a branding guide you can run on your own once we're done.
So local brands look like themselves.
The goal isn't to turn every business into a corporate brand. It's to build an identity that reflects what makes it unique and helps it stand out in its own community.
A second division for racing & motorsports livery design is on the way. The same structural approach, applied to the track.
