RIP PDF

PDF brand guidelines were a product of their time. Big, one-off brand projects that were expected to stay the same for a decade required equally big, static documents to help ensure brand consistency.

But that’s not how brands work today. Brands need to be flexible, fluid and adaptable to the world around them and the businesses they represent. They need to be accessible to lots of people in lots of places. Our Brand is an online platform that stores all your brand assets and gives you the tools and guidance to make sure your brand always looks its best, no matter how much it evolves.
