We appreciate the team’s attention to our brand and their contribution to how it is represented visually.

FAQ
What is a brand book and why does a business need it?
A brand book is a document that collects rules for using the logo, colors, fonts, graphics, and other brand elements. It helps maintain a consistent style across all customer touchpoints.
What main sections and elements should a brand book include?
A brand book includes rules for using the logo, brand palette, fonts, graphic elements, and other identity components.
What stages does brand book development include?
Development starts with business, market, and audience analysis. Then identity is created or refined and usage rules are documented. Finally, the brand book is tested and delivered.
How much does brand book development cost and what affects the price?
The price depends on research depth, number of concepts, scope of identity elements, revision rounds, and project timeline.
When does a company need a brand book and when is it not necessary?
A brand book is essential when scaling, entering new markets, updating style, or onboarding vendors. Startups testing hypotheses may not need one yet.
What typical mistakes occur when creating a brand book?
Common mistakes include copying others' solutions, overloading the document, or lacking clear usage rules. A quality brand book should be clear, practical, and tailored to real business tasks.
How does a brand book differ from a logobook, guidebook, or corporate style?
A logobook covers logo rules. A guidebook covers corporate style usage. Corporate style is the set of visual elements. A brand book unites all of this in one document.
How to ensure effective use of a brand book after creation?
After creation, the brand book should become the main document for everyone working with the brand — for advertising, websites, print, presentations, packaging, and other materials.

What a brand book includes and how it differs from a logobook
Brand book and logobook are often confused. In fact, they are two different documents solving different tasks.
Logobook is a focused guide dedicated to the company logo and its usage rules — all logo versions, brand colors, minimum sizes, clear space, and correct application examples.
A brand book includes everything in a logobook and more:
- typography system;
- graphic element usage rules;
- key media layout rules;
- ready templates or media layouts.
A brand book is a complete rule system that helps a company maintain consistent style and recognition at every touchpoint.
Why a business needs a brand book
Imagine a product launch is days away. The site is almost ready, ads are set up, packaging is in print — and then you discover an old logo on the box, a different font in ads, and off-brand colors from the printer. Everyone did their part, but the brand never became one whole.
A brand book solves these problems. It becomes the single source of rules for everyone working with the brand, reducing debates about colors and fonts and cutting down vendor clarification requests.
What affects brand book price
Every business has different needs, so brand book scope and price vary. At ZOND, pricing is individual. We consider:
- depth of market, competitor, audience, and positioning research;
- number of concepts to prepare;
- scope of identity and number of media to cover;
- number of revision rounds in the project.
Price also depends on how urgently the brand book needs to be prepared and presented.
How to use a brand book inside a company
A brand book is not meant to be read once and archived. It is a working tool the team uses every time a new customer touchpoint is created.
Marketers use it before campaigns, designers rely on it for banners and print, SMM specialists take post and story rules from it, and printers get exact color codes, spacing, and vector logo versions.
For it to work, the current version must be accessible to all employees and vendors working with the brand.
Services often combined with a brand book
A brand book does not create a brand from scratch. It organizes approved decisions into a system and explains how to use them correctly.
If positioning and corporate style are defined but there is no recognizable mark yet, combine brand book development with logo design — first the logo, then its usage rules in the brand book.
If the business is starting from scratch or changing direction, begin with brand development. The brand book is the final stage — it documents brand rules and helps the team maintain consistency after launch.
