## How each company describes itself

### Stockholm Design Lab

Stockholm Design Lab calls itself “an independent branding and design agency with international renown.” It says it has transformed brands with simple, remarkable ideas since 1998, rooted in Scandinavian philosophy. Its competences run from insights and brand strategy to visual, verbal, and sound identity, retail and exhibition design, packaging, and digital work including UX/UI and design systems.

LinkedIn places the agency in Sweden and lists 11–50 employees. Work shown on their site includes The Nobel Prize, Polestar, IKEA, and Volvo Cars.

### Humbleteam

Our strength is the step after the identity: the product people open every day. Logitech had a desk-booking app, website, and design system in production in 4 weeks, and a B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam went from zero to a tested product in 5 days.

We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai. We have shipped 56 fintechs, work with 30+ major banks, studied 30+ healthtech platforms, and won 80+ design awards across 200+ projects since 2017.

## Three reasons teams pick us over Stockholm Design Lab

Each one matters once the brand has to run inside a product.

### From identity to production in weeks

Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system reached production in 4 weeks. A B2B banking MVP with ING went from zero to a tested product in 5 days, and a signed brief reaches its first clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average. We reply within 24 hours, and work can start next week.

### Regulated product flows, designed in full

Banking and health products carry screens a brand system never meets: KYC failures, card limits, consent, and device error states. We have designed them for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, and studied 30+ healthtech platforms. Our team works 20–40% faster on apps and web thanks to AI skills.

### Senior designers who stay on

The senior designers on a project average 9 years of experience, and they are the people on your first call. Since 2017 we have delivered 200+ projects and won 80+ design awards, 14 of them Awwwards. Clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews, and 70% come back for a second project.

## When Stockholm Design Lab is the better call

Two briefs where their history is the reason to hire them.

### An identity for a national icon

Stockholm Design Lab shows identity work for The Nobel Prize, SAS, IKEA, and Volvo Cars, and has done this since 1998. For a heritage brand that needs a long-lived identity with a Scandinavian point of view, that record fits.

### Brand in physical spaces

Their competences include retail environments, exhibitions and events, packaging, and sound identity. If the brand has to work in stores, at events, and on shelves as much as on screens, their range covers it.

## What we bring once the brand goes digital

- **4 weeks** to production for Logitech (app, website, and design system)
- **56** fintechs shipped (plus work for 30+ major banks)
- **30+** healthtech platforms studied (for our healthtech UX research)

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Stockholm Design Lab?

Yes, when the brand has to live inside an app or platform that ships soon. Logitech had an app, website, and design system in production in 4 weeks with us, and we have shipped 56 fintechs among 200+ projects since 2017. Stockholm Design Lab is an independent Swedish branding agency founded in 1998. For a heritage identity, their record is longer.

### Humbleteam or Stockholm Design Lab: who delivers faster?

We publish dated timelines, and Stockholm Design Lab’s site does not. Ours: 5 days to a tested B2B banking MVP with ING, 23 days to a user-tested small-business banking prototype, and 4 weeks for Logitech to reach production. A signed brief reaches its first clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average, and we reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.

### Which one fits a fintech that needs brand and product together?

We do. We design identity and interface as one system, as in One Bank and Chuck, and we have shipped 56 fintechs with KYC, limits, and dispute flows designed in full. Stockholm Design Lab shows Nordnet among its work and lists UX/UI among its competences. Ask both for a regulated in-app flow they shipped.

### How big is each team, and who does the work?

We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on your first call do the work, averaging 9 years of experience. LinkedIn lists Stockholm Design Lab at 11–50 employees, and its site describes a team of art directors, strategists, designers, and service professionals. Ask each agency who will work on your project weekly.

### How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?

Neither company publishes prices. We quote a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer on the first call, and a project can start next week. We reply within 24 hours. Stockholm Design Lab lists a business enquiries contact and publishes no rates or start dates, so ask them for both.
