Brand Merchandise Kit
Studio concept
For new businesses, rebrands and teams whose materials have drifted apart. We design the logo, colours and type, write them into a brand guide, and design the first pieces your customers will see.
Start a projectSample: Senja Roastery, a fictional brand
A primary logo, a compact mark and the versions each size and background needs.
A palette with print and screen values, and the typefaces for headlines and text.
One document that shows designers, printers and vendors how to apply the identity, with the rules that keep it consistent.
The pieces you need first, such as packaging, stationery, signage or social templates, designed and ready for production.
A brand guide helps every designer, printer and vendor apply your identity consistently: how the logo sits, which colours print, which type to use and what never to do.
We call it a graphic standard manual (GSM). We write it first, so the tote bag, the feed and the banner match.
Keep a clear space of x around the logo, where x is the height of the sun. Never smaller than 20 mm in print or 80 px on screen.
Senja leads; Bara is for emphasis only. Print in CMYK on coated stock, use HEX on screen.
05One display face for headlines, one text face for everything else. No more than two weights per page.
07Every piece is checked against the manual before it goes to print: packaging, merchandise, signage and the feed.




Senja Roastery is a fictional brand used to show how we build a manual.
