How it works
When you contact me about a logo, here is what happens next.
The quote
I send you a free quote within 48 hours.
Two sketches
Two free sketches: you tell me what you think, and I adjust.
The file
I paint the original by hand, lay it out, and you receive the print-ready file.
A name drawn by hand
A logo set in a ready-made typeface is easy to recognise: it is the one used by thousands of other houses. A name drawn by hand belongs to one alone. Giulia draws each letter, adjusts thick and thin strokes, hooks the symbol into the word rather than beside it, and gets a mark that holds on a sign as well as on a stamp.
The Milano Drone Films logo is one example: the name is drawn on two lines, the drone’s propellers replace the letters in the middle, extended by a strip of film that draws the A. Everything sits inside the word itself.
From the name to the files
Tell her the name, the trade, the place and what you want people to feel. Giulia replies within 48 hours with a free quote and prepares two included sketches. You tell her what you think and she adjusts: she shows the drawings in progress and you refine them with her.
She delivers the logo as a vector file, which scales up to the size of a sign or a van, and in high definition for screens, with the variations: horizontal version, square version for a profile, single-colour version for a stamp or embroidery, favicon. And because she also paints walls, the same logo can end up painted large on the façade or in the dining room.
Who has their logo drawn
Restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias, cafés and wine bars; bakeries, patisseries, cheesemongers and delicatessens; wine estates, breweries and distilleries; fashion boutiques, jewellery makers and craft workshops; hairdressers, beauty salons and spas; guesthouses, hotels and travel agencies; practices, production studios and young brands launching their first label.
Your questions, before commissioning
How does having a hand-painted logo made work?
Tell Giulia Dal Bon what you have in mind for your logo, and she brings your idea to life with you. She sends you a free quote within 48 hours, then two free sketches: you tell her what you think, and she adjusts. She paints the original by hand, lays it out in Photoshop and Illustrator, and you receive the print-ready file. A logo starts at 500 €.
Is the logo delivered as a vector file?
Yes. The final drawing is vectorised: it prints on a business card as well as on a three-metre sign, and stays sharp at every size. You also receive the high-definition versions for screens, the single-colour version, the square version for profiles and the favicon.
Can we have the lettering alone?
Yes, and it is often the most elegant option. A hand-drawn name is enough to make a brand: that is the case for many wine houses and restaurants. Giulia draws the word, balances it, and prepares a compact variant for small uses.
Can the logo then be painted on the wall or the shop window?
That is the advantage of having it drawn by a painter: the same logo can be painted large on the façade, on the dining-room wall, on the shop window or on the shutter, by hand and with a brush. The mural is then priced per square metre, from 150 €, and is commissioned on the shop window and sign pages.
Can an existing logo be redone?
Yes, and it is a fine moment when a house passes to the next generation: you keep the symbol customers recognise, redraw everything by hand, rebalance the lettering, and get a mark that looks as if it had always existed. Send the current logo and Giulia tells you what she would do with it.
How much does hand-painted graphic design cost?
From 500 € for a logo or lettering, 400 € for a label, an album cover or a book cover, 700 € for a poster. A complete identity, logo, label, packaging, starts at 1,500 €, and a whole range is quoted separately. The price includes painting the original, two included sketches, corrections during the work and the high-definition file ready for the printer. Giulia Dal Bon replies within 48 hours with a free quote.
What do I receive at the end?
A high-definition file in the exact dimensions of your medium, ready to go to the printer, with the variations you need. The painted original stays yours if you wish: it is a work on paper or on canvas, and it can be framed. It looks right in the shop, the workshop or the office, next to the product it dresses.
Does Giulia also draw the name and the lettering?
Yes, and it is a part of the work she loves. She draws the name letter by letter, by hand, and composes the whole page: the name, the legal wording, the vintage, the title. She studied graphic design at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, alongside painting. The lettering can be painted with a brush, drawn in ink or cleaned up afterwards for print.
Who owns the design?
You do. The visual is painted for your house and for it alone: it is assigned to you for the intended use, and the quote says which. Giulia keeps the right to show the work in her portfolio, like any author. If you want full exclusivity or a wider use, that is written into the quote from the start.
Can we start from a photo or an AI-generated image?
Yes, and many people arrive with one today. An image found on Pinterest or generated by AI gives a direction: a colour, a framing, an atmosphere. Giulia looks at it, keeps the intention and paints an original by hand, with her own shapes, in the true dimensions of your medium. You get a work painted for you alone, and it belongs to you.
Can Giulia prepare the file for print?
Yes, that is the second half of the job. She paints the original by hand, then lays it out in Photoshop and Illustrator, two programs she knows well enough to have given private lessons on them. You receive a clean file, in the exact dimensions, with bleed, the requested colour mode and vector paths where needed. Your printer can talk to her directly.
When will I receive the file?
The schedule is set with you at the quote stage, around your print, release or event date. Giulia sends two sketches, you choose, she paints, shows the progress and you adjust with her. Write to her with your date, she tells you straight away whether it can be met.
