About the studio
Rekognition is a strategy-led branding studio in the UK. Since 2025 we've helped founders, challengers and established names become brands their audiences can't overlook.
(Our belief)
A brand is the memory you intentionally create. We exist to make sure the right people remember what matters.
We started Rekognition with a simple frustration: too many good businesses were invisible, not because they lacked quality, but because they lacked clarity. Beautiful work that said nothing. Bold claims with no foundation.
So we built a studio where strategy and craft are inseparable. Where naming, identity, websites, social and search are designed as one system - because that's how recognition is actually earned. Quietly, consistently, everywhere.
(Our mark)
Good design is simple at a glance and deep,
when you look again.
the eye
The eye is you, looking for the customers you're meant to serve. Rekognition is about being seen: we see what you're searching for in your own brand, then make sure the right people see it too.
the optic nerve
The optic nerve carries what the eye sees, turning light into signals the mind can understand. That's our role: we carry your vision and convert it into something clear.
the screen
The square is a phone or laptop screen. When the wrong people are looking, it's a cage. When the right people are, it's a window. We create windows.
What we value
Clarity over noise
The strongest brands are the simplest to understand. We earn attention by being clear, not loud.
Strategy you can see
Thinking only matters when it shows up in the work. Our strategy is always visible in the craft.
Made by hand
We draw, we refine, we sweat the details. Distinctive brands aren't produced on autopilot.
Partners, not vendors
We work alongside you, share our reasoning, and care about outcomes long after launch.
Built to last
Trend-proof systems over throwaway fashion. We design brands meant to compound over years.
Generous & honest
Straight answers, fair pricing and no jargon. You'll always know where a project stands.
The people
Our story
It started with one person, a hard reset, and a belief that ambitious businesses deserve the kind of branding usually reserved for the big names.
01
Hi, I'm Flowers, well, that's what everyone calls me. My full name is Nathan Flowers, and I've spent over 14 years in the branding and design industry. After leaving university I got stuck straight in and quickly fell in love with the nuances of design: coming up with new concepts, solving problems, and seeing an idea come to life.
02
I had an important role to play, but it was easy to feel like a cog in a machine. I loved communicating, I loved problem-solving, and I loved helping businesses move forward. Over time, though, things became repetitive. I had worked a few roles since university and eventually secured a senior position towards the end of 2019.
03
The company I was with was hit hard by the Covid lockdowns, and like so many people, it forced me to stop and take a hard look at where I was going. It was an uncertain time, and if I'm honest, I didn't have all the answers. So it sent me on a bit of a soul-searching journey.
04
After travelling and taking the time to understand myself, I met so many small businesses that just didn't understand marketing, and it clicked. They had incredible products, services and ideas, but often didn't have the resources to build the kind of brand that could truly represent them. I had seen how hard it can be for smaller businesses to compete.
05
That's when I realised what I wanted to build. I created Rekognition to give small and ambitious businesses access to the strategic thinking, creativity and quality that was traditionally reserved for much larger corporate clients. During lockdown, small businesses were eradicated by a lack of marketing and branding, and by financial mistakes. We want to change the way it works.
06
The founders I connect with most are in wellness and lifestyle: yoga teachers, breathworkers, therapists, herbalists, candle makers. Brilliant at their craft, too close to it to see what makes them different, and buried in admin that pulls them away from it. In wellness, trust is everything. And as AI changes how we work, I believe more people will leave corporate roles to build holistic, community-led businesses. I want to help them be seen.
07
We don't just create logos. We help you understand your brand: what makes you different, who you're speaking to, and why people should choose you. We combine brand strategy, creative direction and design to build brands that are recognised for what they do. That's where I believe we can make a real difference.
08
We help you avoid the expensive mistakes that come from trying to figure everything out yourself. We give you the clarity to stop second-guessing every marketing decision, the strategy to create consistency, and the confidence to present your business properly. That means you can spend less time worrying about your brand and more time doing what you do best, building your business.
09
I've built a small team of talented industry professionals who bring years of experience to the table. By combining their expertise with smarter systems and efficient processes, we're able to keep things more accessible without compromising on the quality of the work.
10
When a client tells me they've been introduced to their own brand by a friend or family member, I ask what their response was. They usually answer in disbelief: "I've seen it everywhere." Branding isn't just a logo or a consistent set of colours. It's the feeling behind the label, putting the passion of what you created to the forefront in a subtle way.
I know what it's like to question whether you're doing enough. I've been there myself, wrestling with imposter syndrome and wondering whether the things I'd learned could really make a difference. I want to help good businesses believe in themselves a little more, see the potential in what they've built, and create a brand they're proud to put their name behind.
“Rekognition is earned, not deserved.”
