AMDWhat better way for a designer to prove how detail-oriented they are
than by compiling a detail-dense style guide for their own personal branding.
Designer Amanda Michiru has done just this with a meticulous guide to her
personal brand that ranges from logo construction to primary and secondary
palettes and so much more. This guide is short but concise, just the bare
necessities for a solid brand, a great example for beginners to style guide
creation to have a look at. Have a read of the guide via Issuu.

BingWith competition against the likes of Google, it makes sense that
search engine Bing would have to have a strong set of style guidelines
in order to keep their brand strong. Bing deconstructs and explains
nearly every fact of their brand, right down to the search bar dimensions
and composition. Bing also explains just about every decision to provide
a manual that would be easy to follow and rules that are easy to replicate.
Read through Bing’s manual over here. |

SkypeChances are your style guide has quite a bit of type within it for instructions and explanations, so a good way to strengthen your brand’s tone of voice is through these instructions. Skype’s brand manual does just this, interjecting a little humour, and a colloquial and friendly tone into the explanations through instructions that are worded like “Never abuse our logo, it doesn’t have arms so it can’t fight back (our lawyers however, are another story).” Figure out your brand’s tone and consider introducing this to the manual in a unique way that doesn’t compromise the information but enhances it.
