Brandguidelines.net is a directory of real brand style guide documents — the PDFs and microsites companies publish to define their logo usage, color, and typography rules — collected from brands worldwide.
Reading actual published guidelines is a different kind of reference than seeing a logo alone; you get to see how a brand documents rules for other people to follow, which is exactly the deliverable you're often building yourself.
Good for brand and identity designers putting together their own style guide who want to see how established brands structure and document their systems, not just what the systems look like.
It's run by a small studio (1042 Studio) that also sells its own style-guide templates on the same site, so parts of the experience nudge toward a product pitch alongside the free directory.
Handpicked curated brand guidelines from around the world.
