    Brand Guidelines

    Create and manage brand guidelines in Wonderful — visual identity, voice, messaging, and rules that keep every campaign consistent and on-brand.

    On This Page

    Brand guidelines in Wonderful are the written rules that define how your brand looks and sounds. They live in the Brand Hub and are referenced by your team and by Nova AI whenever content is created for that brand.

    Why Guidelines Matter in Wonderful

    Beyond being a style guide for humans, brand guidelines in Wonderful serve a specific purpose: they give AI features the context they need to produce on-brand output.

    When Nova AI writes ad copy or a creative brief, it reads your brand's guidelines to:

    • Match your brand's tone of voice
    • Use approved messaging frameworks
    • Avoid language that's off-brand
    • Reference the right products and value propositions

    Well-documented guidelines = better AI output.


    Creating Brand Guidelines

    1. Navigate to your brand's space
    2. Click Brand Hub in the space navigation
    3. Click Brand Guidelines → Create Guidelines
    4. Use the rich text editor to document your brand

    The editor supports headings, lists, tables, embedded images, and links. Structure your guidelines like a document — sections for visual identity, voice, messaging, and usage rules.


    What to Include

    Visual Identity

    Logo

    • Upload the primary logo file (SVG or PNG)
    • Document clear space rules (minimum padding around the logo)
    • List approved variations: horizontal, stacked, monochrome, reversed
    • State when each variation should be used
    • Note what never to do: stretch, recolor, add effects

    Colors

    • List every brand color with hex code, RGB, and CMYK values
    • Distinguish primary, secondary, and accent colors
    • Note approved background combinations
    • Flag colors that should never appear together

    Typography

    • Name the primary and secondary typefaces
    • Specify weights and styles in use (bold for headlines, regular for body)
    • Include fallback web fonts
    • Note character spacing or sizing rules

    Photography and Video Style

    • Describe the visual aesthetic: candid vs. staged, bright vs. moody, urban vs. natural
    • List what should always be present (real people, products in context)
    • List what to avoid (stock-photo feel, cluttered backgrounds)

    Brand Voice

    Personality Describe the brand's personality in 3–5 adjectives. Example: "confident, approachable, direct, human, ambitious."

    Tone of Voice Write 2–4 sentences describing how the brand communicates. Is it formal or casual? Serious or playful? Expert or accessible?

    What we sound like / What we don't sound like Side-by-side examples work well here:

    • āœ… "Get more done" → āŒ "Maximize your operational efficiency"
    • āœ… "It's okay to ask for help" → āŒ "We provide comprehensive support solutions"

    Key Messages The core things the brand says in every market and channel:

    • Primary value proposition
    • Key differentiators
    • Proof points

    Usage Rules and Restrictions

    Legal Considerations

    • Trademark and copyright notices required
    • Claims that require substantiation
    • Industries or contexts where the brand doesn't operate

    Do's and Don'ts A concise list of the most important rules — the ones a new team member or AI needs to know to stay on-brand.


    Using Guidelines in Tasks

    When creating a task brief, Wonderful automatically surfaces the brand's guidelines as context. Creators see the key messaging and visual rules without switching tabs.

    You can also manually link specific guideline sections to a task — for example, attaching the "product photography" section to a photography brief.


    Sharing Guidelines

    Share your brand guidelines with partners, contractors, or agencies:

    1. Open Brand Guidelines
    2. Click Share
    3. Set to Public View for a read-only link
    4. Send the link — no Wonderful account required to view

    Version Control

    Every time guidelines are saved, a new version is created automatically. Navigate version history to:

    • See what changed and when
    • Restore a previous version if a change was incorrect
    • Compare current guidelines to a previous state

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I import existing brand guidelines from another document?

    Not via direct import currently. The recommended approach is to paste the content into the rich text editor and format it. PDF or Word import is on the roadmap.

    Can I have multiple sets of guidelines for one brand?

    Each space (brand) has one primary guidelines document. For brands with distinct guidelines by product line or market, create separate documents within the Brand Hub using the Documents feature, and link them where needed.

    Do I need guidelines before using Nova AI?

    No. Nova AI works without guidelines, but its output is more generic. The more guidelines you have documented, the more on-brand the AI output becomes.

    Who can edit brand guidelines?

    Space Admins and Workspace Admins can edit guidelines. Space Members and Viewers can read them.

    Can guidelines be private (not shared outside the workspace)?

    Yes. By default, guidelines are Workspace-only. Only generate a Public View link if you explicitly want to share externally.

    What happens to guidelines if I archive a space?

    Guidelines are preserved along with all other space data when a space is archived. They become accessible again if the space is restored.
