That Good D: South Carolina's Premier Graphic Design Studio
What That Good D Does
That Good D is a graphic design studio based in South Carolina that creates brand identities, marketing materials, and visual content for businesses and organizations across the state. The studio handles everything from logo design and packaging to social media graphics and website design—the full range of work that turns a company's vision into something people can see and recognize.
The studio works with clients who need design that reflects who they actually are, not generic templates pulled from the internet.

Services the Studio Offers
That Good D's work spans multiple design disciplines. Brand identity is a core service—developing logos, color palettes, typography systems, and brand guidelines that hold together across all the places a company appears. A complete brand system means a customer sees the same visual language on a business card, a website, a social media post, and a storefront sign.
The studio also produces marketing collateral: brochures, flyers, business cards, and advertising materials designed to work in print or digital. Packaging design is another specialty, which matters especially for South Carolina manufacturers and food producers who need their products to stand out on shelves or in online listings. The studio handles web and digital design as well, creating websites and social media graphics that function as extensions of a brand's visual identity.
For organizations running campaigns or events, That Good D develops campaign materials—everything from poster designs to email templates to promotional graphics. The work is always rooted in strategy: the design serves a specific purpose for a specific audience, not decoration for its own sake.
How the Design Process Works
Most projects at That Good D begin with a discovery phase. The designer meets with the client to understand the business, its market position, its competitors, and the audience it's trying to reach. This conversation shapes every decision that comes later. A logo for a craft brewery looks nothing like a logo for a financial advisor, and that difference starts here.
After discovery comes strategy and concept development. The designer explores multiple visual directions, often presenting several concepts for the client to react to. This is where ideas get tested: Does this direction feel right? Does it communicate what we want to communicate? Does it stand out in the client's market?
Once a direction is chosen, the work moves into refinement and production. Colors get adjusted, typography gets tested at different sizes, and the design gets adapted for all the places it will actually appear—web, print, social media, signage. The final deliverables usually include design files, brand guidelines, and sometimes training on how to use the new brand consistently.
Why Design Matters for South Carolina Businesses
South Carolina has a strong community of small businesses, nonprofits, and regional manufacturers. Many of these organizations compete with larger companies that have bigger budgets but not necessarily better design. A locally owned restaurant, a craft producer, or a professional service firm can stand out through thoughtful visual identity that reflects its actual values and appeals to its actual customers.
Design also builds trust. When a business looks professional and consistent—across its website, its social media, its storefront, its packaging—customers perceive it as more established and reliable. That perception matters, especially in competitive markets where customers have choices.
For nonprofits and community organizations, strong design can stretch limited budgets further. A well-designed poster or social media campaign can reach more people and generate more engagement than something hastily assembled. That Good D works with organizations across South Carolina that are doing important work but don't have in-house design resources.
Types of Clients That Good D Works With
The studio's portfolio includes small businesses, startups, established companies looking to rebrand, nonprofits, and organizations in industries ranging from food and beverage to professional services to creative fields. Some clients come in with a clear vision of what they want; others know they need design help but aren't sure what that looks like yet. Both are normal starting points.
What matters is that the client is willing to invest time in the discovery process and trusts the designer's expertise. The best design work happens when there's real collaboration—the client brings knowledge of their business and market, and the designer brings knowledge of how to communicate visually.
Getting Started With That Good D
If you're a South Carolina business or organization considering design work, the first step is usually a conversation. That Good D typically starts with an initial consultation to discuss what you need, what your goals are, and what your budget looks like. This conversation helps both you and the designer figure out if it's a good fit and what the project might look like.
Come prepared to talk about your business, your customers, and what you want the design to accomplish. If you have examples of design you like—even if it's from a completely different industry—bring those. If you have a sense of your budget, share that too. The more information the designer has, the better they can scope the work and give you realistic expectations about timeline and cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a logo design cost?
Logo design pricing varies depending on the scope of work, the number of concepts presented, and the number of revision rounds included. A simple logo might cost less than a full brand identity system that includes logo, color palette, typography, and brand guidelines. The best way to find out is to contact That Good D with details about your project and budget.
How long does a design project take?
Timeline depends on the project scope and how quickly you can provide feedback. A simple logo might take a few weeks; a full brand identity system or website design could take several weeks to a few months. The designer can give you a realistic timeline once they understand what you need.
Can That Good D work with my existing brand if I want to update it?
Yes. Many clients come to That Good D because their current branding feels outdated or doesn't reflect who they are now. A rebrand project starts with the same discovery process—understanding what's working, what isn't, and what direction makes sense for the future.
Do I get the design files, or just the finished product?
You get the design files. That Good D typically delivers files in formats you can use for different purposes—web, print, social media—along with brand guidelines that explain how to use the design consistently. This means you own the work and can use it however you need to.
What if I'm not sure what design services I actually need?
That's what the initial consultation is for. Describe what you're trying to accomplish, and the designer can recommend what services make sense. You might think you need a new logo when what would actually help more is a complete brand refresh, or vice versa. The designer's job is to help you figure out the right approach.
