When it is used

Use when a piece of content or a UI must be restyled to follow a brand's colour, typeface, voice, spacing, and logo rules. Do not use for creating a brand identity from scratch or writing the brand guidelines. Related topics: branding, design.

What it will ask you for

• Brand rules (longer free text)
• The item to brand (longer free text)
• Item type (choose one: Web page, Email, Social post, Slide, Document, App screen)
• Audience (free text, e.g. "Who will see it")
• Strictness (choose one: Follow every rule, Follow core rules and flag exceptions)
• Output form (choose one: Rewritten copy only, Styled markup, Style spec and copy)

How it works

1. Turn the brand rules into a working checklist that separates firm rules from guidance.
2. Apply colour roles, typefaces, sizes, and spacing to the item and verify text contrast.
3. Rewrite copy to the stated tone and vocabulary, removing banned words, and place the logo within its clear-space rules.
4. Flag every conflict between a brand rule and the item or accessibility, with the nearest compliant option.
5. Return the branded item in the chosen form with a table of rules applied and open decisions.

What you get

The branded item in the chosen form, followed by a table of each rule applied with its location and a list of conflicts needing a decision.

What it watches out for

• Applying the palette but keeping the old voice, so the item looks on brand and sounds off brand.
• Using an approved colour pair that fails contrast, and treating compliance as more important than readability.
• Silently bending a rule to fit the layout instead of flagging the conflict.
