How to Build a Brand Kit Your Whole Team Will Actually Use

Most brand kits die as PDFs nobody opens. Here's how to build one that lives inside your design tool — applied in one click, impossible to ignore.

What goes in a brand kit

  • Logo — primary mark plus a simplified version for small sizes. Upload a transparent PNG.
  • Colors — 1–2 primaries, 1–2 secondaries, plus neutrals. Name them by role ("Primary", "Accent"), not by hue.
  • Fonts — one display face for headlines, one text face for body. Two is enough; three is the absolute max.

Build it in photoaicompany

  1. Open the Brands panel in the app and create a new brand kit.
  2. Upload your logo, add your color hex codes, and pick your brand fonts from the font library.
  3. Start from a brand kit template to lay it out as a shareable brand board.

Now the payoff: open any design or template and apply the kit in one click — colors, fonts, and logo restyle across the whole canvas instantly.

Making it stick

Teams on Business plans get shared brand kits, so every design anyone makes starts on-brand. The rule that makes kits work: the kit must be easier than freelancing. One-click apply beats a 40-page PDF every time — which is exactly why the kit lives in the editor, not in a document.

Frequently asked questions

Five to six total: 1–2 primaries, 1–2 secondaries, and 2 neutrals. Constraints create consistency.
