If you order service to create a brand book (actually, a set of various documentation to promote the brand) is very important to understand the difference between these three components.
The brand book is a description of the values and philosophy of the brand, a way to convey this to consumers.
It is intended for the employees of the company, who engaged in the promotion of the brand on the market (brand managers, etc.)
The guideline is a technical document. It includes the rules of image and placement of elements of corporate identity on various types of products (blanks, souvenirs, clothing, transport, etc.). It is intended for employees of the marketing, advertising and printing departments of the company or (if one of the divisions is absent) for ad agencies.
Cut guide is the technical documentation for the technologies that create complex elements of corporate identity, such as advertising, interiors and exterior buildings, websites, etc.. Cut guide is intended for employees who are removed from the central office (for companies that have branches), as well as for contractors, who performing the work that described in the cut guide.
The service to develop a brand book implies base-creating a corporate identity and passport by standards (guideline) for using this style in the print and electronic products.
For base part of a brand book we offer a several packages of services (see table below) that differ in composition of elements, time and cost of work, accordingly.
The content of cut guide and ideological part of the brand book is discussed with each customer individually, taking into account the specifics of his company.
