Havana Brand Guidelines

“

I tell you what - this is second to none. The level of detail that has gone into the layout, typography and colour has made this INCREDIBLY easy to make your own. You can quickly amend typefaces through character and paragraph styles, change swatches to your own brand or clients. Overall it SAVES IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF TIME, and means consistency is always there. A seriously professional way to handover to clients.”

Tom, Calypso Brand Guidelines

Dean K, Brand Strategy Blueprint

“

Needed a Template that delivered a luxury feel fast for a client presentation. Havana delivered just that!”

Nicolas K, Havana Brand Guidelines

“

I was impressed not only by its extensive range of templates and design possibilities but also by its comprehensive features. The Circular Laurent Template is so sophisticated that one could easily use it to describe the branding of a global brand in no time. A particular highlight is its clear, grid-based structure, which allows for a harmonious and professional design. This structure helped me create an aesthetically pleasing overall look without losing coherence. I can highly recommend the Circular Laurent Template to anyone looking for a powerful, visually appealing tool for creating a portfolio.”

Tim W, Laurent Brand Guidelines

“

I purchased this last week because I had an urgent client deadline the next day, and it was a lifesaver! The guidelines document is incredibly detailed and well-designed, making it something I can now customise for future clients as well. My work often involves tight deadlines, so this will be a huge help moving forward—every designer knows the struggle of creating brand guidelines from scratch! I liked the detail and design of the guidelines, I also loved how customisable everything was within the document. Thanks, Circular!”

Ciara B, Calypso Brand Guidelines

“

I bought the Santona Brand Template in the process of working on my own brand as an architect. In a matter of hours, I had a comprehensive design scheme that I now use as a base and will fine tune until the launch of my new website. The template did two things for me; it structured my brand design process and made me take decisions step by step, instead of feeling overwhelmed. It also let me see the result in various relevant contexts. I could not be happier and look forward to putting the work to use online.”

Anna N, Santona Brand Guidelines

“

This is a great template that provides clear guidance and enables me to work faster and more focused. It’s more than a simple template and well worth the money.”

Julian H, Calypso Brand Guidelines

“

I can’t recommend it enough. These brand guidelines are an excellent starting point for presenting a professional brand with the right look and feel to any customer of any level. Love the modern fresh clean look and feel.”

Robert K, Laurent Brand Guidelines

“

I can’t express how thrilled I am with the Odessa brand guidelines template! As a brand designer, these templates have been a game-changer for me. They saved me an incredible amount of time and allowed me to focus more on creativity and less on formatting. The design is incredibly clean and professional, perfectly aligned with the high standards I aim to deliver to my clients. What truly stands out is how the templates incorporate key elements like versioning and pagination. These features seamlessly support the way I communicate with clients, making it easy to keep everything organized and up-to-date. It’s clear that Circular understands the needs of designers and has thoughtfully crafted these templates to enhance our workflow. If you’re looking for a solution that will streamline your process and elevate the quality of your brand presentations, I highly recommend these templates. They’ve become an essential part of my toolkit, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!”

Alicia K, Odessa Brand Guidelines

“

This extensive brand guideline template is really easy to use & fully editable. The copy & various brand descriptions are almost bang on for most products, I’ve altered the text in places but not totally rewritten it - it’s really helpful & means thinking less & saving a lot of time!”

Ava H, Calypso Brand Guidelines

“

Exactly the aesthetic and design I wanted for my Brand Guideline document saving me the time to prepare it myself. Easy to adjust according to brand colours and typefaces. Love it - highly recommend!”

Melissa, Odessa Brand Guidelines

“

I think Calypso was a really great template with lots of options for in-depth elements of a brand guideline. It really impressed my client for the particular project I was working on. I think it’s a very quality product and a great tool. I liked that I can choose how in-depth I was able to go into the brand. I was able to skip certain sections and just focus on what was important, while still having the option to go back. I just loved the level of depth that was beyond the visual.”

Davide G, Calypso Brand Guidelines

“

I bought the Odessa Brand Guidelines when setting up a brand for my interior design business. I’m still learning and launching my business but it's great knowing the brand stuff is squared away for later. The Odessa pack is beautifully presented, looks professional, and is flexible enough to progress your own brand. The templates have easy to follow instructions setting you up for success from the get go. Even with limited experience in InDesign the instructions cover everything you need. Highly recommend Circular products.”

Kelly - Odessa Brand Guidelines

“

One of the best ways to build your brand, revamp a brand that may not be doing too well, or improve upon your current brand. There are so many gems in this pdf that make you think as a founder. And it gives you the confidence to justify your pricing to compete with other luxury brands. I'd love this in hardback.”

Gregory S, Brand Strategy Blueprint

“

This brand guideline is the InDesign template that all templates should emulate. It’s easy to use and edit, is made with free and beautiful fonts, and OMG those Paragraph Styles! So organized!”

“

A few weeks ago, we needed a solid template for a project with a tight budget to create a professional brand handbook for our client. Many brand guidelines from Circular could have been suitable, but the extensive content of Calypso with its 70+ pages convinced us. The clear structure of the brand guidelines aligns very well with our design standards and has helped us stay within budget. We are thrilled and look forward to more templates from Circular.”

Kai, Calypso Brand Guidelines

“

Great layout, easy to use and customise, and especially lots of actual useful content (particularly good copy) which is a perfect building block for adding your own special touches without having to start everything from scratch. Really good structure.”

It’s helped streamline my web design process, organise my concepts and easy for my clients to read. It’s been a super timesaver.”

“

As a seasoned brand designer, the Havana Brand Guidelines Template truly stands out. It is user-friendly, and the inclusion of actual brand strategy content makes it a remarkable tool. Its traditional luxury aesthetic simplifies the process of creating brand guidelines. The 50+ beautifully designed pages offer depth and sophistication, while its flexibility allows for effortless customisation. This template is a must-have for professionals like us, streamlining our work and ensuring flawless brand presentations. I’ve also enjoyed using the Brand Strategy Blueprint product, solidifying Clare’s reputation for excellence. Highly recommended for designers looking to enhance their branding projects.”

WHAT IS A BRAND GUIDELINE?

A Brand Guideline is a set of rules and standards that define how a brand should look, feel and act. They help ensure that a brand’s identity is consistent across all platforms and channels. A comprehensive brand guideline outlines everything from typography and colour to tone of voice and mission statement. By doing so, it provides all the instructions you need to communicate the right messages and create consistent marketing materials for your brand.

WHY USE A TEMPLATE?

Creating a brand guideline from scratch can take hours of work. Our templates make the process quicker and easier by giving you a starting point. Easily add your logo, images and change the colours and fonts to create your own brand identity for yourself or your client. If you want to produce high quality work our templates are perfect for you.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BRAND GUIDELINE AND A BRAND IDENTITY?

A Brand Identity is a custom project created by a Graphic Designer for a specific client. It generally includes a custom logo, colour palette, typography, photography and brand strategy. In comparison a Brand Guideline is a tool used to present the Brand Identity. This ensures that any marketing materials created in the future will be consistent with the intended vision. Our templates are created for Graphic Designers to use in their Brand Identity projects when creating custom work.
