A walkthrough of the best free brand guidelines templates for Illustrator and InDesign, plus two free templates you can download and customize.

Overview

In this video, I go over the best free brand guidelines templates available for Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, breaking down their structure, strengths, and limitations.

From clean corporate layouts to bold, vibrant identity systems, we look at how they handle key sections like logo variations, color palettes, typography, applications, and logomark/ logotype misuse pages.

I also share two free brand guideline templates since there are no free, high-quality templates available online.
