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
Open the Brands panel in the app and create a new brand kit.
Upload your logo, add your color hex codes, and pick your brand fonts from the font library.
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.
