Question: is all of this written down somewhere, or do these \u201cbrand guidelines\u201d only exist in the heads of you and your employees? To keep them in focus, it is highly recommended to record them into a document.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, guidelines likes these come in two variants: one concerning your company\u2019s images and one concerning the language. These documents precisely detail the ways to use them. In which circumstances should you use that one logo variant, how formal should <a href=\"https:\/\/vuur-werk.nl\/en\/6-tips-to-improve-communication-with-your-customers\/\" rel=\"\"><strong>your communication<\/strong><\/a> be, and when to employ that specific design element?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brand guidelines on every level<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This results in a document filled with practical advice. Depending on your needs it might skew towards general usage, like the correct application of the logo or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vuur-werk.nl\/en\/develop-your-corporate-identity\/\" rel=\"\">corporate identity<\/a><\/strong> colors, or highly specific details, such as how to spell out numbers or which terms work best for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vuur-werk.nl\/en\/seo-the-vuurwerk-way\/\">SEO (Search Engine Optimization)<\/a><\/strong>. For this reason, a guideline is never universal, but rather something we specify to your company. That alone guarantees you will get the most out of it and achieve consistency in the way your company presents itself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto width_full\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-separator size_custom\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_9a24c93d height_auto width_full\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column vc_column_container has_bg_color has-link\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner us_custom_d4496df5\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-separator hide_on_default hide_on_laptops size_custom\" style=\"height:100px\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><a title=\"Inbound marketing start enticing\" href=\"https:\/\/vuur-werk.nl\/en\/corporate-branding\/\" class=\"vc_column-link smooth-scroll\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-9 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_f0138a59\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>Corporate branding: create a strong and memorable brand<\/strong> \ud83d\udca1<br \/>\nBranding is more than a logo\u2014it\u2019s how people remember you.
