For branding & design studios
Pitch the identity work
like it's worth the fee. Then bill it in phases.
Hanko gives branding and design studios one workspace to send a premium proposal microsite, lock IP and usage terms with an e-signed agreement, collect the deposit, and hand clients a portal to download the final assets.
Set up in minutes · One workspace · Get paid in fiat or crypto

The studio tax
Beautiful identity work, sold with a flat PDF and chased for the deposit.
The proposal undersells the craft
You design world-class identities, then pitch them in a flat PDF that makes a five-figure engagement read like a parking-lot quote.
The deposit drags before kickoff
You can't open Figma until the 50% lands, but the deposit invoice sits unpaid in an inbox while the project clock keeps ticking.
Usage rights never get signed
Logos ship, then licensing, IP transfer and usage terms get hand-waved over email, until a client quietly reuses a concept you killed.
Asset delivery is a graveyard of dead links
Final logo suites, guidelines and source files go out as WeTransfer links that expire, and clients keep emailing for the EPS a year later.
How it works
Up and running in three steps
No migration project, no five separate tools. Set it up once and run the whole client relationship from one place.
Build a proposal that sells the studio
Start from a studio template or let AI draft from your brief, then publish a branded microsite that lays out discovery, concepts and delivery as phases, not a PDF.
Lock the terms and the deposit
Turn the accepted proposal into an e-signed agreement with your IP, usage and licensing terms, and send the deposit invoice the moment it's signed.
Deliver assets and bill each phase
Invoice each milestone, drop final logo files and guidelines into the client's portal, and reconcile fiat or crypto on one ledger.

Minutes
From accepted proposal to signed, IP-locked agreement
Fiat + crypto
Clients pay the deposit by card, bank or stablecoin
“We used to pitch identity systems in a PDF and chase the deposit for a week. Now the proposal is a branded page, the usage terms get signed with it, and the 50% lands before we open Figma, and clients pull their final brand book straight from their own portal.”
