1. On a logo card, click Add Variation
2. Upload the variation file
3. Select a Layout Type (or create a custom one)
4. Name the variation

2. Select the variations you want
3. Click Generate

This is useful for black, white, or single-ink printing needs.

You’ll then configure it using simple visual tools:

Creating & Publishing a Brand Page

A Brand Page is a public, shareable page that contains everything someone needs to use your brand correctly.

---

Create a Brand Page

1. Go to Dashboard → Brand Pages
2. Click Create Brand Page

You’ll be asked for:

• Subdomain (your public URL)
• Brand name
• Page title
• Logos to include

Optional additions:

• Color palettes
• Logo usage guides
• Descriptions or context

Save to create the page.

---

Publish and share

Each Brand Page has a status toggle:

• Offline – not publicly accessible
• Live – publicly accessible

Switch to Live, then:

• Copy the page URL
• Share it with clients, partners, printers, or developers
• Embed it on your website if needed

---

Best Practices for Success

Name things clearly

Good naming avoids confusion:

• BrandName – Primary Logo
• BrandName – Icon
• BrandName – Stacked
• BrandName – Monotone Black

Use palettes intentionally

Create palettes based on usage:

• Primary Brand Colors
• UI / Interface Colors
• Campaign or Seasonal Colors

One link replaces everything

Instead of emailing attachments or explaining logo rules repeatedly, send your Brand Page link. It becomes your single source of truth.

---

If you ever wonder, “Is this the right logo to send?” — the answer should be: send the link instead.
