If you plan weddings, photograph them or design their stationery, your brand is the first thing clients see. Lovely Branding is a font suited to brand work, and this guide walks you through building a simple, consistent starter kit.
A brand is a system, not a logo
A logo is one part of a brand. Clients experience colour, type, layout and tone together, so a few well-chosen rules, applied consistently, do more than an elaborate mark.
A small business needs only a handful of elements, used the same way every time.
Build the kit in five steps
- Wordmark. Your business name in Lovely Branding, in one line.
- Secondary mark. A compact version, such as initials, for small spaces.
- Palette. Two neutrals and one accent colour.
- Type pairing. The script for the name, a clean sans-serif for everything else.
- Usage rules. Minimum sizes, clear space and approved colour versions.
Files you will need
- Transparent PNG in dark and light versions for websites and watermarks.
- Vector file where possible, for printing at any size.
- Social avatar as a square crop of the secondary mark.
- Letterhead and invoice template using the same type and palette.
A licensing reminder
Before you use any font in a logo, read the licence details on the product page and confirm that your intended use is covered. Terms for logos and merchandise can differ from terms for general design work, so it is worth checking once and keeping a record.
