What is Included in a Branding Kit?

Whether you have a new business or it’s been around for some time, a branding kit establishes your identity by breaking down your logo. This includes documents and guidelines revolving around style elements such as font, color(s), imagery, logo placement, and external usage policies.

Let’s take a look at what is offered by designer R.L. Roberts 2 and what’s included.

Logo Creation/Revision

This is the fun part. Logo creation and tons of revisions before your company logo is presented. Gathering concepts and design expectations is the first step of logo creation. Are there existing designs you draw inspiration from? Is there a competitor who includes certain elements of their logo you don’t want to be included in yours?

All this information is gathered and applied to a design. Logos start with a better understanding of your brand’s voice and your requirements.
