✦ WHAT THE STUDIO DOES ✦

Three Doors, One Trip

Concept & Vision

Strategy and big ideas first. What your brand means before what it looks like.

Creative Execution

Logos, type, illustration, packaging, apparel. Drawn by hand, finished to ship.

Digital Alchemy

Web, social, and motion that carry the identity into the digital realm intact.

✦ ✧ ✦

The Brand Sprint

Your whole identity. Fourteen days. One price.

$4,500

FIXED SCOPE FIXED PRICE FIXED DEADLINE

Half to book the slot, half on delivery. That’s the whole contract.

✦ IN THE BOX ✦

Everything You Need, Nothing You'll Never Use

✦ 01 — Logo System

Primary mark, secondary mark, lockups. Hand-finished, not template-assembled. Works on a billboard and on a sticker.

✦ 02 — Type & Color

A typographic system and palette chosen for your world, with exact files and specs so everything you make after still looks like you.

✦ 03 — Brand Guide

A tight, usable PDF. The rules, the don’ts, the logic. Built so a future hire or printer can’t screw it up.

✦ 04 — Launch Kit

Social templates, profile assets, and three hero applications of your choice: packaging mock, merch, signage, deck cover, whatever moves your business.

✦ 05 — All Source Files

You own everything. Vector, layered, organized, labeled. No hostage situations, no licensing asterisks.

✦ 06 — One Revision Round

A real one, with my full attention, not a death spiral. The fixed scope is why the price and the deadline hold.

✦ THE TRIP ITSELF ✦

How the 14 Days Go

Day 1 — The Sit-Down. One 60-minute call. You talk, I listen, I ask the questions agencies bill three weeks for.


Days 2–5 — Concepts. I go dark and come back with two distinct directions. Real explorations, sketched and built by hand, not mood boards.


Day 6 — You Pick. One call. You choose a direction and give notes. Decisive, done.


Days 7–12 — The Build. Full system gets built out: marks, type, color, guide, launch kit. Your revision round lands here.


Day 14 — Delivery. Everything packaged, organized, and handed over with a walkthrough. You launch. I cheer from the cheap seats.

✦ WHO'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN ✦

Twenty Years. No Middlemen.

I’m John Gagliano, the art director behind Crystal Trip Studio. I’ve led creative for a boxing brand, run my own menswear label into Bloomingdale’s and Saks, painted murals, built activations out of the back of a step van, and shipped work for some of the loudest brands in culture.

When you book a sprint you get me. Not a junior team “supervised” by me. Not an account manager translating your notes. The person whose name is on the work is the person doing the work.

✦ STRAIGHT ANSWERS ✦

Before You Ask

Because most of a six-month agency timeline is meetings about the work, not the work. Twenty years in, I know what good looks like and I get there fast. The deadline isn’t a compromise, it’s the product.

The single round is structural: it forces good decisions from both of us. If you genuinely need more after delivery, additional rounds are available at a posted day rate. Nobody gets ambushed.

Yes, as a follow-on. Sprint clients get first priority on web builds (WordPress, WooCommerce, the works) at a fixed add-on price. Brand first, always.

Founders with something real: food and drink, fitness, fashion, music, hospitality, anyone who needs to look like a serious player without an agency-sized budget. If you’re pre-idea, wait until you’re not.

Because each sprint gets my full attention for two weeks. That’s the math. When the month is booked, you go on the list for the next one.

Take the Trip

Email me what you’re building and when you want to launch. I’ll reply within one business day with the next open slot.
