Brand Guidelines

Once you have a logo and colors, you need to use them the same way every time. We give you simple brand guidelines so you, your printer, and anyone you hire keep everything consistent.

What it is

A simple rulebook so your brand stays consistent.

Brand guidelines are a short, plain document showing how to use your logo, colors, and fonts correctly. It keeps your brand consistent no matter who is making something.

In plain terms

It is the recipe card for your brand. Hand it to any cook, a printer, a sign shop, a new hire, and they make the same dish every time, instead of guessing and getting it a little wrong.

Stay consistent

Everyone uses your brand correctly, every time.

Save time

No guessing on colors or fonts for the next project.

Protect your look

Vendors cannot accidentally mangle your brand.

Sound familiar?

Signs this is for you

If any of these ring true, this is exactly what fixes it.

Different vendors keep using the wrong colors or a stretched logo.

You have to re-explain your brand every time you order something.

Your materials slowly drift and stop matching each other.

How it works

Simple, start to finish

01

Gather

We pull together your logo, colors, and fonts in one place.

02

Set rules

We write simple do's and don'ts anyone can follow.

03

Hand off

You get one file to send any vendor or new hire.

See the difference

Before and after

Before

A printer guesses your blue and stretches your logo. It comes back looking off, but you already paid.

After

You send your guidelines, and the order comes back matching perfectly the first time.

What you get

What is included

Clear logo usage do's and don'ts

Your exact color codes for web and print

Your fonts and how to use them

Spacing and sizing basics

A simple file you can hand to any vendor

Why it matters

Why this is worth doing

Without a guide, your brand drifts: the wrong blue on a flyer, a stretched logo on a sign. Guidelines keep everything sharp and consistent, which is what makes a brand feel established.
