Brand kits people actually open

Logo files that are actually current, colors with contrast that works on a phone, type, crop examples for the formats you post, and a handful of do-nots. If a file is outdated, delete it. Old logos multiply.

Name the files in human language. "Primary logo, dark background" beats a code only the brand studio understands.

One correct feed tile and one incorrect tile teach faster than a paragraph about clear space. Annotate the incorrect one with a single line.

Include a caption example. Visual kits that ignore words create a split brand.

The kit sits with the client's other files, where a freelancer can see it and a stranger cannot. A public link to the entire kit is sloppy.

Link it from the brief template so nobody has to remember the path.

A rebrand, a new product color, a retired tagline. Update the kit the same week. A kickoff kit from last year will silently produce last year's brand.

Ask the designer once a quarter if they are using a file that is not in the kit. Those files belong in the kit or in the bin.
