Brand guidelines designed for everyday use

Many teams either have no guidelines at all or a huge brand document that sits in a folder and is quietly ignored. Neither is much help when you are trying to launch a new page or campaign. Our brand style guide service is designed to sit in the middle. It gives you enough structure to stay consistent, without turning every decision into a long debate.

We focus on what you actually need day to day. That usually means how to use your logo, what colors are safe, which typefaces to use where and how to handle common elements like buttons, links and simple layouts. The guide becomes a reference for designers, developers, writers and anyone who builds decks or social graphics.

Making sense of what you already have

We begin by reviewing your existing materials. That might include your current logo, website, product screens, pitch decks, social posts and any older brand guidelines. We look for what feels like you and what does not. Often there are good ideas hiding in the noise, but they need to be simplified and documented.

Through a short workshop we clarify how you want the brand to feel and how it needs to show up in different contexts. For example, you might need to balance warmth with professionalism for finance, or make something complex feel approachable for SaaS. These decisions shape the choices we make for color, type and layouts.

Core elements that work well online

A modern brand has to live comfortably in digital spaces. When we define your core elements we check how they behave in the places that matter most, such as website headers, mobile navigation, product UI, emails and social avatars.

We refine or set your primary and secondary colors with digital contrast and accessibility in mind. We choose typography that works for headings and body copy on screens, not just in print. We define basic rules for spacing, imagery and icon use so pages and assets feel like one family rather than a mix of styles.

Clear rules for logo and color usage

Your logo and colors are usually the first elements people notice, and they are the easiest to misuse. We document simple, visual rules for where and how to use your logo. That covers which version to use where, how much clear space to leave around it, safe background colors and what to avoid.

For color, we define a core palette that is realistic for digital use. You will see which colors are primary, which are accents and how they should be combined. We also note which combinations pass basic accessibility checks for text and important interface elements.

Examples that match real scenarios

A style guide is much easier to follow when it shows real situations. Throughout the document we include examples that match how your brand is actually used. That might include a website hero, a call to action block, a simple landing page layout, a case study card, a social post or a slide template.

These examples make it clear how typography, color, imagery and tone come together. They also make it easier for new team members and external partners to understand the brand quickly. Instead of guessing, they can copy a pattern that has already been thought through.

Simple, shareable documentation

We deliver the style guide in a format your team can access easily. That might be a Figma file, a PDF, or both, depending on your tools. The content is written in plain language, with headings and short explanations rather than long theory.

The goal is that anyone in your company can open the guide, find what they need and get back to their work. Designers and developers can dive deeper into details. Marketers and operators can use the high level examples. Everybody has the same reference point.

Built to support future work on your site and product

Strong brand guidelines make every future project easier. Website design, landing pages, product screens, sales decks and campaigns all become faster to create and more consistent to ship. Instead of reinventing styles each time, you apply and extend patterns you already trust.

This service is ideal as a follow up to logo design, as a way to tidy up a brand that has grown in lots of different directions, or as a foundation before a website redesign. In each case, you come away with a guide that makes the next steps smoother.
