Brand StrategyStyle Guide

So what is a brand style guide?

A brand style guide — sometimes referred to as a brand ‘bible’ brand standard or brand guidelines — sets out all the rules and standards that govern how your brand should berepresented, including the logo, brand colors, typography, language, photography, and more. These should link back to the brand purpose, which enables staff, partners, customers, andthe market in general to understand your brand, what you’re trying to achieve, and why it should be represented in a certain way

Define your brand purpose

Brand purpose is your brand’s reason for being beyond making money. It should connect with customers on an emotional level and helps customers choose brands that align with their beliefs.


Google’s mission is clear: “Our mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”

Facebook’s corporate mission is to “Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together”.

 

“Now you know why a good style guide is important, what it should look like, and what to include. It’s time to create one for your company. Include the marketing team, sales team, and any other creatives working on your marketing and products when creating a style guide.”

Why you need a style guide

A brand style guide is a holistic set of standards that defines your company’s branding. It references grammar, tone, logo usage, colors, visuals, word usage, point of view, and more.

By creating a detailed brand style guide, you ensure the published content is consistent, polished, recognizable, and more enjoyable. A thorough, well-thought style guide puts your audience first. It creates a recognizable, engaging voice and personality with which readers can form a more personal connection.

Once you’ve defined your brand voice, you need to codify it so every employee and stakeholder knows how to follow your branding guidelines. That’s where a style guide comes into play.

Style guides can lay out your brand voice, messaging, design principles and more in precise detail. They instruct your staff members and business partners on the exact language to use in different scenarios, what color schemes to incorporate into design layouts and how to most effectively communicate with your core audience.
