Guidelines that keep your brand consistent, whoever designs for you.

  • Logo rules

    Your main logo and its variations, the space around it and what not to do with it, so it never gets stretched, recolored or crowded.

  • Color palette

    Exact color values for screen and print, so your blue is the same blue on your website, your truck and your brochure.

  • Typography

    The fonts for headlines and body copy and how to use them, which keeps every page and flyer easy to read and recognizably yours.

  • Imagery and graphics

    The style of photos, icons and graphics that fit your brand, a clear reference for your website, ads and social posts.

  • Everyday applications

    Examples on business cards, letterhead, email signatures and social profiles, ready for your team and vendors to follow.

  • One guide for everyone

    Hand it to a printer, a sign shop or a new hire and they get it right the first time, so your brand stays consistent as you grow.

Clients love their new brand.

“It took some time for them to learn the branding style of our business that was developed by a previous designer. But once they learned it, they created a Branding Guide and are now very consistent to our brand image.”

Frequently asked questions

A new logo with a full brand identity, including colors, typefaces and usage guidelines, starts at $3,000 and usually takes 1 to 4 weeks, depending mostly on how quickly you send feedback. If you already have a logo and only need guidelines built around it, we quote after reviewing what you have. Either way, you get the price in a free proposal before any work starts.

A short reference document, often called a brand book or style guide, that sets out how your logo, colors, fonts and imagery are used. Anyone designing for you follows it, so everything looks like it comes from one company.

Customers trust what they recognize. When your website, ads, vehicles and invoices all look the same, people remember you, and your marketing builds on itself instead of starting from zero each time.

No. We can build guidelines around the logo you already have, refresh it first, or design a new one as part of the project.

Yes. We document the existing look so your website, social posts and print pieces stay consistent with it, and we can build a branding guide from it if you don’t have one yet.

The same team designs websites, ads, emails and social posts, so your guidelines are applied everywhere we work for you, not just written down.
