Product Overview
A consulting firm, a law practice or an enterprise vendor cannot brand itself the same way a lifestyle startup does. The Corporate Brand Style Guide is built specifically for that context: structured layouts, formal hierarchy, and a navy and blue palette designed to read as trustworthy and established rather than trendy.
The guide ships filled in with a complete example brand, Vertex Partners, a fictional Management Consulting company, so you can see a finished corporate identity before you replace it with your own. Nine sections take you from mission statement to print application specs.
Key Features
- Brand Overview & Mission section — mission, vision, values and personality written in an authoritative register.
- Logo Usage Guidelines — logo versions, clear space and do’s and don’ts for formal business contexts.
- Color Palette section — a navy and blue system with full HEX values and usage rules for banking and consulting contexts.
- Typography System — fonts, type scale and hierarchy rules built for readability in reports and proposals.
- Imagery & Photography guidance — corporate-specific photo direction for team, office and client-facing imagery.
- Iconography & Graphics section — a restrained, professional icon style and graphic library.
- Tone of Voice section — writing guidelines that keep messaging formal and precise.
- Brand Applications section — digital and print specifications, including presentation decks and letterhead.
- Filled-in example brand — Vertex Partners shows every section completed with real, industry-appropriate content.
