Brand Identity Kit
A brand identity kit, sometimes referred to as a brand style guide or branding guidelines, is a document that holds all the crucial information about how you want your business to appear to your customers. Brand identity kits come in many forms, such as printed booklets or e-documents. The way in which a brand kit is set up depends on the size of your business and the way in which you create content.
Some companies have fairly basic identity kits, whereas others contain elements such as guidelines on social media interaction and website and app design.
When creating a branding kit for your business, you need to think carefully about what it is that you need from a set of guidelines. You also need to make sure that your kit is maintained and followed consistently in order for it to be effective.

Other benefits of creating an identity kit are improved brand recognition, increased trust, and protection against counterfeiting.
Although each brand kit is different, there are some elements that most kits tend to contain:
Color palette
Your brand identity kit should feature color schemes, including primary and secondary brand colors for both your printed and digital content.
Fonts
When it comes to your brand identity, your choice of font pairing is crucial. Make sure you describe what fonts to use for headings, subheadings, main content, your logo, and any other branded text that you use.
Logo variations
Most companies have one main logo and a few variations. Make sure that these are all included in your kit alongside their intended uses.
Visuals
The visual elements refer to any photography, imagery, and branded graphics that you use. Your design guidelines should clearly state how to use all these types of visuals.
Brand message
Some kits also offer rules on how to convey brand messaging. For example, how to create social media posts, business cards, and emails. This helps to ensure a consistent brand across all marketing channels and avoid any confusion.
It can also be helpful to supply at least one point of contact in your brand kit in case anyone has any questions or needs help with any element of branding or design.
The exact length of time that it takes to make each kit depends on several crucial factors, including the nature of your business, the industry you operate within, the size of your company, and how you would like your guidelines to be displayed.
Our team needs to make sure they spend sufficient time getting to know your company, your target audience, and your competitors. This process is crucial as we offer bespoke kits that are tailored to the exact needs of your business.
