Brand Guidelines

Brand guidelines are clearly defined rules and standards that communicate how your brand should be represented to the world. Brand guidelines help businesses ensure consistency and demonstrate what the company is, what it does, and what it stands for.

Why does your business need a set of Brand Guidelines?

In the world of ads, when a customer recognizes a brand’s colour, theme, logo, etc., they are more likely to choose that product over all others. This is because they are already familiar with your brand and what it stands for. From something simple and minimalistic to something wild and eye-popping, a good brand will always be recognized in a sea of others.

Every time someone visits your website, sees your business card, or receives marketing material from your company, they receive a perception of your company outside of the content they actually consume. By having set rules and restrictions, it becomes possible to communicate a consistent brand identity.

Consistency is important in making your brand recognizable and reliable. It ultimately communicates that your brand takes pride in the details.

When introducing new products or services, a brand can get stretched too thin. By implementing brand guidelines, you have the tools to quickly and effectively maintain consistency. Brand guidelines help you aim your business’s interests with your intended audience.

And finally, you probably know your brand’s identity inside and out, but a new employee may not. Brand guidelines are a valuable tool for your employees to keep your brand cohesive.

Every customer has their trust issues whenever it comes to trying a new product or service, However, a strong brand can help you set yourself apart as a well-established business with strong values that customers can resonate with. Innovative marketing coupled with exceptional products and services, phenomenal customer service, and interesting visuals will surely help even a small company establish itself as a serious professional business.

When a brand’s identity is cohesive, it increases the brand’s perceived value. Consistency allows your brand to appear more professional and reliable. By implementing brand guidelines, you make it easier to maintain the quality and integrity of your brand’s image.

What is a brand and what is the advantage of having a brand identity?2022-05-19T15:34:47+00:00

Having a brand identity communicates your business personality and shapes your clients’ perceptions of who you are.
It projects the expectations and promises you extend to your customers in terms of quality, service, reliability and trustworthiness. It creates trust and loyalty from those who do business with you and helps the audience differentiate you from your competitors, whilst positively influencing purchasing decisions.

What should be included in a set of brand guidelines?2022-05-19T15:34:53+00:00

Brand guidelines may differ slightly, but in general, they should include:

Information about your brand’s history, mission, values, and vision.

Guidelines on logo usage include colour palette, file format(s), minimum and maximum sizes, contexts, spacing, and usage permissions e.g where it should and shouldn’t appear.

Colour palette including RGB and CMYK codes, Fonts and text sizes (both print and digital)

The tone of voice and grammar rules

Design elements and types of imagery, icons, and photography to be used

Business card and letterhead designs

How do I choose my brand colours?2023-05-11T13:05:29+00:00

When choosing your brand colours, we recommend looking into colour psychology. It provides a framework for understanding how and why people use colour to create meaning and build association with the brands in their lives. As your brand evolves so might your brand colours, so if you are looking for a rebrand or to freshen up your brand guidelines, our design team can talk through brand colour recommendations with you.
