About this course
What Is a Brand Identity Design Course?
It teaches you to create a consistent look for a business, so every logo, colour and font works together. Business Brand Kit also shows you how to organise the files, export them for web and print, and hand them over to clients.
What Will You Learn in This Brand Identity Design Course?
A brand kit isn’t about making a logo look pretty. It’s about making every piece work together, and preparing files other people can actually use.
- Build a complete brand identity system: Bring primary and alternate logos, colours, fonts, imagery and graphics into one consistent system. You’ll also see how a brand kit differs from brand guidelines.
- Choose colours, fonts and visual elements: Build a colour palette around the brand’s personality and pick fonts that are easy to read. Learn font pairing, hierarchy and spacing. Then add the icons, patterns and illustrations that make the brand look like itself.
- Design stationery and templates: Put the brand on business cards, letterheads and social media posts. Then build reusable templates in Adobe Illustrator.
- Write guidelines and export files: Document how the logo, colours and fonts should be used. Learn when to use JPG, PNG, PDF, SVG or EPS, and why print needs different export settings from screens.
- Deliver the kit and present your work: Sort source files, exports, templates and guidelines into clean folders. Then use handover checklists, walkthroughs, mockups and portfolio case studies to show your thinking.
Brand Kit vs Brand Guidelines
They go together, but they do different jobs. The kit is the stuff. The guidelines are the rules.
| Brand kit | Brand guidelines |
|---|---|
| The visual assets a business uses | How those assets should be used |
| Logos, colours, fonts, graphics and | Usage rules, spacing, colours and visual |
| templates | standards |
| Gives designers and teams the files they need | Helps them use those files consistently |
Say a café gets a brand kit with its logos, colours, fonts and Instagram templates. The guidelines tell them which logo goes on dark backgrounds, how much space to leave around it, and which colours and fonts must never change.

Practical Example: A Brand Kit for a Co-Working Space
The course demonstrates its techniques on an example brand, Aurora Workspace. It’s a co-working space that needs one consistent look across its website, social media, signage and print. Here’s the process, in short:
- Set the visual identity: Pick colours, fonts and graphics that suit the brand.
- Prepare logo variations: Get the right version ready for each space and background.
- Build stationery and templates: Apply the identity to business materials and social media layouts.
- Create brand guidelines: Write down the rules for the logo, colours, fonts and visuals.
- Organise and export: Prepare source files and the right formats for web and print.
- Hand it over: Arrange the kit so the client can find and use every file.
The result: whoever designs for Aurora next, whether it’s their own team, a freelancer or a printer, keeps the brand consistent.

Is Business Brand Kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. It starts with what branding is and what belongs in a brand kit. Then it moves through logos, colours, fonts and design applications, and finishes with file organisation, exporting and delivery. No branding experience needed.
How do I create a complete brand kit for a business?
Start by understanding the business and setting its visual identity. Prepare logo variations, choose a colour palette, set the typography and gather supporting graphics. Then build templates and guidelines. Finally, sort the source files and exports into labelled folders so the business can use them properly.
What should a professional brand kit include?
Primary and alternate logos, colour references, typography details, graphic elements and templates. Plus guidelines that explain how to use them. The course also covers stationery, editable source files, web and print exports, and packaging it all up for the client.
How do I choose brand colours and typography?
Start with the brand’s personality and the impression it wants to make. Pick a primary colour, a few that go with it and some neutrals, then check contrast and readability. For fonts, think about font types, headline and body pairings, hierarchy and spacing. Lessons 4 and 5 cover this in detail.
Which software and file formats are covered?
You’ll see Adobe Illustrator for templates and asset organisation, Photoshop for mockups and Adobe Color for colour work. The course also explains JPG, PNG, PDF, SVG and EPS, and when to use each: transparent logos, scalable graphics, photos or print-ready files.
How do I prepare brand guidelines for a client?
Put the brand’s visual rules in one document: logo versions, colour codes, typography, imagery and graphics. Explain where each asset should and shouldn’t be used. The course shows a guidelines presentation for Aurora Workspace as an example.
How do I export a brand kit for web and print?
Pick the format by where the file will be used. JPG suits photos, PNG suits graphics with transparent backgrounds, SVG suits scalable web graphics and PDF suits print documents. Lesson 11 also covers EPS, resolution, compression and colour modes.
How should I deliver a completed brand kit to a client?
Sort the files into clearly labelled folders: logos, colours, fonts, templates, stationery and guidelines. Check that everything opens and works. Then use a handover checklist and give the client a short walkthrough, so they know where everything is.
How do I showcase brand identity projects in my portfolio?
Tell the story behind the design, not just the final logo. Explain the business problem, your inspiration, your choices and how the identity works across different materials. Lesson 13 shows how to use sketches, mockups, stationery and digital applications to build a case study.
