The question is not which package is better, but which package you will fully utilize in the first year.
Choose based on the number of touchpoints that need coverage and the number of people in the team who will apply the identity system, not based on the desire for more for prestige. A concise package is enough for a new brand needing the essentials for launch, a comprehensive package suits a business expanding that needs a systematic approach, and an in-depth package is for multiple product lines or comprehensive repositioning. The principle: buy just enough to use fully, with the remainder upgraded later.
This is a question that Sinh Vũ encounters frequently, and the answer always starts with a counter-question: how many people will apply this identity system, and on how many touchpoints (touchpoint: every place the brand appears before customers)? That number determines the level of system you actually need, not the feeling of wanting to have more for show.
Sinh Vũ has already structured three levels so that clients do not have to piece together categories from the beginning.
It doesn't need to answer everything, but any question that can be answered will significantly narrow the scope of what needs to be purchased.
If most answers are no, a concise or comprehensive approach is sufficient. If there are affirmative answers from question three onwards, start considering a deeper analysis.
The officialization of the complete identity system occurs when many people create content across multiple channels and need materials for the entire team to align.

Through serving 16 industries, Sinh Vũ realizes that both extremes are costly: excess packaging leads to unused items, while insufficient packaging requires additional purchases. A question Sinh Vũ often asks clients before advising on levels is: "In a year, who will be using this identity system and where?" If you can clearly answer that question, the choice of level will naturally narrow down.
A key point to clarify with any unit before signing is the specific scope of deliverables: how many applications, whether there is an asset library, and if there are written usage guidelines. The package name does not convey this; the itemized list does.

Sufficient if you only need a logo, color palette, typography, and two to three core applications to get started. The problem arises when the team begins creating content across multiple channels without an asset library, leading to inconsistent identity. If you plan to expand within six months, consider the full package from the start instead of purchasing individual add-ons later.
When you have more than one product line or sub-brand that needs its own architecture, or when undergoing a complete rebranding and need to train the team to avoid dependency on one person holding the files. If there is only one product, a deep package often leaves many unused items.
Yes, but you need to factor in the upgrade costs in the plan from the beginning. Purchasing additional items later often costs more than getting the right amount the first time, as some items may need to be redone from scratch instead of just expanded.
