Style Guide

A few notes on your Brand Files folder organization:

The folders are organized by logos, elements, fonts and patterns. Within each of those categories, there are separate folders for each file type and color when applicable. Please install the fonts to your computer.

  • For print applications: we suggest using EPS or PDF files, followed by PNG. Business card files can be found under the Print folder as well.

  • For web applications: we provide PNG files. These are a standard size but if you need something different, please just send us the specific specs and we can export additional files.

Under web files, the social assets folder has logo versions for social profile pictures as well as your business card mockup (if we have included that in your package). We strongly suggest exploring your Brand Files folder and getting acquainted with all of the included graphics!
