A step-by-step way to create brand guidelines, from scattered files to one source of truth.
Step by step
Work through the parts in this order, so the most useful pages are ready first:
- Collect the final versions of your logos, for light and dark backgrounds
- Write down each colour's HEX, RGB and CMYK values
- List your fonts and where each one is used
- Add rules and examples for logos, colours and imagery
- Write your mission, values, audience and voice
- Publish, and share one link
Starting without a brand
If you don't have a brand yet, Melon Cut Design's Brand chat can create one. Describe the business and the AI proposes a logo, colours, fonts from Google Fonts and guidelines, with a live preview you change by asking. You then publish it as a brand at meloncut.com/yourhandle.
Building them in Melon Cut Guidelines
The Guidelines editor works on the web and in apps for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows. You edit directly on the page with drag and drop, live rule checks point out what needs attention, and Save & publish puts changes live immediately. A sample brand shows what a finished one looks like.
