Brand Guidelines Template

Are you looking for the perfect Brand Guidelines Template for your clients since you simply do not have the time to create one yourself? Well - you are in luck!


Here at Creative Process Collective, we have launched our new product - Classic Brand Guidelines Template. This is an amazing resource for creatives to send to their own clients. A 53-page (yes, 53 pages!) InDesign template created for you to ensure your client is confident and fully equipped to use their new branding in the real world with comprehensive brand guidelines. 


The template is designed with NO LOREM IPSUM meaning you are able to take the wording prompts and personalise for your client/tone of voice. Let’s not forget, all the space available for brand image mockups as well as place the logo for ease of use.


Sounds too good to be true, right? 


Before we get started let's discuss the goal of a Brand Guideline:


Brand Consistency

The key to building trust with consumers is portraying consistency within your brand. By being consistent through language, logos, imagery and colour palettes your audience learns to easily recognise your brand, resulting in brand recognition and consumers relating and understanding your business.


Brand Quality

Brand guidelines are the ideal way to communicate your level of professionalism. By presenting clients with a clear and structured brand book you are able to highlight each design aspect clearly and help clients to ensure that any communication they have will look polished and professional.


Brand Maintenance

We all know the negative impact regular rebranding can have on a business. Using a Brand Guideline is key to helping finalise each aspect and the overall vibe of your brand. The clearer your branding identity is the easier it will be to make slight changes through deliberate and informed decisions without having a negative impact on the brand.


So, now let’s talk about the features included in our Classic Brand Guidelines Template!


  • No lorem ipsum

  • Thoughtfully designed layouts and typographic choices

  • All text, colours and fonts can be easily changed to match the look and feel of your own branding and style
