TL;DR: Finding the right creative partner can be tough, but Penji stands out for affordable, on-demand design. While Superside and Designity cater to larger budgets, Penji offers agency-quality work at a fraction of the cost.
With one in six Angelenos in the creative workforce, how do you choose the right design agency? You need a team with an on-point vision, budget consideration, and expedited execution and quality.
To help you narrow things down, here are the best design agencies to elevate your creative game.
1. Penji
The future of design is here. Penji is your on-demand creative solution providing access to the top 2% of global talent compounded with AI enhancements.
From logos and ads to web designs and motion graphics, we provide 120+ services through a simple, all-in-one dashboard, with unlimited revisions, 24-hour turnaround times, and all at a fraction of the cost of design agencies.
If you're looking to scale your creative needs without breaking the bank at a conventional graphic design agency, Penji is your answer.
- Pricing: Subscription plans start at $499/month for unlimited graphic design.
- Best for: Startups, agencies, and marketing teams that require high-volume, high-quality creative at a budget-friendly flat rate.
2. Superside
Superside leads the charge in design as a service, catering to enterprise-level markets requiring everything from video production to AR/3D designs. Like Penji, AI helps streamline workflows—but their model caters to massive organizations with massive budgets.
If you're an international brand looking for a graphic design agency for complex, larger-than-life campaigns—and a top agency that charges accordingly—Superside is your answer.
- Pricing: Subscription packages start at $10,000/month.
- Best for: Large enterprises and corporations with extensive budgets seeking complex and finely nuanced production.
3. Designity
Designity comes in with a different flavor of managed service. This graphic design service allows you a Creative Director assigned to your account who will work with a vetted team of freelancers to assess and evaluate your needs. It's an agency-like employment of service since you'll have a Director stepping in—but it's in your best interest as if you had your own internal creative Director. Of course, this means it's pricier than doing it on your own.
- Pricing: Plans start at $5,995/month.
- Best for: Brands that don't have a creative leader internally but would like someone directing their design efforts.
4. Visual Design Inc.
If you're looking for a more traditional approach, Visual Design Inc. is one of the best-known graphic design agencies in LA and specializes in branding/logo engagement projects as well as SEO-driven web development solutions. Unlike the subscription services or design as a service segments, Visual Design Inc. works project by project, with a focus on brand strategy and SEO-oriented digital development solutions.
- Pricing: Projects start at $10,000+.
- Best for: Businesses seeking one-off intensive brand overhauls or a new website build with a critical eye on SEO.
