## The short answer

A brand guideline document is a reference for using a company’s identity consistently. It may cover the logo, colours, typefaces, imagery, layout and tone of voice. The aim is to help people make materials that look and sound like the same business.

## What to consider

The document should show correct and incorrect logo use, colour values for the channels that matter, type choices, image direction and examples of the brand’s writing style. Its contents should match how the business actually communicates.

## A practical way to approach it

Keep the guide practical and accessible to staff, designers and suppliers. Update it when the identity changes, and use it as a reference rather than a reason to make every piece of communication identical.
