A branding guide is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Why? It forces you to define and hone your style, making for more cohesive branding.
It is one of the most important steps in creating the identity of a business because it captures the essence and personality of your company. And perhaps best of all, it helps your web designers, marketing companies, and social media gurus get on the same page to help create the best possible work for your business.
What is a branding guide?
A branding guide contains the building blocks of your company’s branding. A good branding guide maps out your business’ messaging, color palette and visual media. A branding guide from Mabble clearly defines rules around your marketing presence and creates an overall strategy for future designs that are cohesive and that make sense for your brand.

- Font guidelines
