Hourly rates at $200-300/hr place them among higher-cost options, which may be prohibitive for smaller budgets
Minimum project commitment of $25K+ may not work for companies testing the waters with a small pilot project

From my experience, Helm's Workshop doesn't just build pretty brands - they learn what's unique about your organization and your customers, then craft something only you could own. They've breathed new life into our brand, and our customers are responding. They are also an awesome bunch of people to work with. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

Ever done a double take because of a beer can? Or been to a barbecue joint where the branding hits as hard as the brisket? There’s a good chance the design came out of Helms Workshop. Independent. Exceptionally talented. And just a genuinely solid group of folks.
