Notes & Best Practices

Tips to maintain brand consistency

Proof colors on final media and request test prints for physical collateral. Lock down core assets like logos and primary color tokens in a shared asset library to prevent accidental edits. When collaborating, use Figma to keep a single source of truth and publish components to a team library. For Canva, grant appropriate editor permissions to control who can alter master templates. These simple steps reduce rework and ensure consistent brand application across platforms.
