The short answer
Project5pi Design Studio is a small design studio in Providence, Rhode Island, and part of Project5pi. It designs logos and brand kits, produces short marketing videos and motion graphics, builds websites with instant estimates and online booking, and makes social media graphics, ads and print for small businesses in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and the rest of New England, and remotely anywhere else.
Providence is a good place to make things. The city is home to RISD, one of the best art schools in the country, plus galleries, music and some of the best food in New England. That is the energy we bring to small business design.
Projects start at $500. To start, pay the $500 online, then pick a time for a 30-minute call about your ideas and needs. Questions first? Email hello@project5pi.com.
Typography
Our own logo is a type study: every letter of “design studio” is set in a different typeface, then tuned to one shared height so it reads as one word. Picking, pairing and licensing type is the same work we do for a client’s logo, menu or storefront.
Color
Five inks, one near-black and one paper. Every color is checked for contrast before it carries text, using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) formula. The numbers on each swatch are real measurements of black ink text (#0D100F) on that color.
Before we picked the print palette, the animated logo was rendered four ways: a studio palette that changes color with every font, one signature color per letter, the print palette on a paper texture, and a light-background version. Seeing them side by side, moving, is how the choice got made.
Project5pi mint is a fill, never text on a light background: it measures 1.4:1 on paper and 12.4:1 on ink. On light pages, green text uses #0F766E instead (4.9:1).

Print & posters
Studio studies made for this page. Each poster below is built in code (HTML and CSS) rather than as a picture, so it stays sharp at any size and weighs almost nothing. The business cards are the studio’s own. For print jobs we deliver press-ready PDF files.
Motion
Motion graphics are type and color that move with a purpose: a logo sting at the start of a video, captions that land on the beat, a product screen that slides into a phone. The logo animation at the top of this page is our own: twelve letters shuffle through 64 font styles in five seconds, then land on the logo.
Video production
Short videos made for phones first: vertical, captioned, and built around the real thing, whether that is a new website, a shop counter or an offer. Which kinds of video are worth making for a small business →
