Brand Guidelines in Bristol
The document that lets everyone else use your brand correctly without asking. For Bristol businesses working with printers, sign-makers, agencies and their own staff, it is what stops the logo being stretched, the colours drifting and the tone changing depending on who wrote the post.
Why this comes up
The problem
Without written rules, every supplier and staff member interprets the brand differently. Within a year the same business appears in four slightly different colours across its own materials.
What you get
What we deliver
- Logo usage — variants, clear space, minimum sizes and what must never be done to it
- Colour values for print, screen and signage, including which pairings are permitted
- Typography hierarchy with the licensed fonts and substitutes for where they cannot be used
- Imagery direction with examples of what fits and, more usefully, what does not
- Tone of voice with before-and-after examples rather than adjectives
- Applied templates for the materials produced most often
- Delivered as a usable file your suppliers can be sent directly

Brand Guidelines in Bristol — common questions
- How long should guidelines be?
- Short enough that people read them. A hundred-page document gets ignored and the brand drifts anyway. Most businesses are well served by something concise covering the decisions that actually come up.
- Who needs a copy?
- Anyone producing anything with your name on it — printers, sign-makers, agencies, and your own staff. It is meant to be circulated, not filed with the directors.
- What if someone needs to do something the guidelines do not cover?
- Guidelines set principles rather than enumerate every case, so a new situation is judged against the reasoning. Rules without explanation get followed literally in the wrong places and abandoned in the right ones.
- We have a logo but nothing written down. Is that enough to start?
- Usually, yes. Guidelines can be built around an existing identity — much of the work is documenting decisions already implicit in what you use, and making the gaps visible.
- Do you work with businesses across Bristol?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Bristol and the surrounding Bristol area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Bristol businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering-grade requirements from aerospace clients, and brand-led digital work from the creative and environmental sectors. Beyond that we work across Aerospace, Creative & Media, Technology, Financial Services and Environmental.
- Do you cover the areas around Bristol?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Cardiff, Bath, Southampton. Bristol is an urban area of roughly 700,000+, and we take on work across the wider Bristol region rather than the city boundary alone.
