Design

Brand identity and brand book

A logo, colours, type and rules for using them, collected in a brand book your whole team can follow.

About this service

A brand is the set of decisions that make a business recognisable: the logo, the colours, the typefaces, the tone and the way they are used on a shopfront, a package and a screen. A brand book writes those decisions down so they survive staff changes, new suppliers and busy weeks.

What you receive

  • A logo in the versions you need, with clear space and minimum size
  • A colour palette with exact values
  • Typefaces for headlines and body text
  • Examples of how not to use the logo
  • A pattern or graphic device where the brand needs one
  • Applications: cards, signs, packaging, social posts

What a brand book is for

Without one, every new menu, flyer and web banner drifts a little further from the last. With one, anyone you hire can produce work that looks like yours. If the term is new to you, read what a brand book is.

How it works

  1. We talk about your business, your customers and how you want to be seen.
  2. You see a direction, then a refined identity.
  3. I assemble the brand book and deliver the files.

Examples

Every project in the design portfolio includes a brand book. Open one to see the cover, the palette and type page, the logo usage page and the applications.

Questions

Good things to ask

What do you design?

Websites, online stores, brand identities and brand books, brochures and landing pages. See the design services and the design portfolio.

Can you prepare product photos for my online store?

Yes. E-commerce photo retouching gives a whole catalogue the same clean background and light.

How does a design project start?

With a conversation about your business, your customers and what you want people to do. You then receive a plan and a quote, and nothing begins until you approve them.
