Brand guidelines: the user manual for your brand

A document made to be used

Brand guidelines are not an art book kept in a drawer. They are a user manual: they explain how to use your logo, colours and typefaces so that every piece stays true to your brand.

What they contain

  • the logo, its versions (colour, monochrome, small) and its clear space;
  • the colour palette with codes for screen and print;
  • typefaces and their hierarchy (headings, body text, captions);
  • application examples: business card, social post, banner;
  • what not to do: distort, recolour, overload.

How they help day to day

They avoid starting from scratch for every new piece. A printer, a developer or a community manager can produce the right visual without waiting for approval at every step.

They also protect your brand as your team grows: consistency no longer depends on a single person.

Guidelines that live

Good guidelines evolve with your business: new media, new networks, new languages. We design them to stay easy to update, in French as in Arabic.
