Brand asset version control means keeping all your approved brand files in a single cloud-based location, so that everyone always has access to the latest versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Branding shapes first impressions and reinforces trust. Change any one of your branding elements (logo, fonts, colors, etc.), and the story your brand tells changes, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

For big brands, using outdated branding materials, such as logos or colors, can impact the message. Version control is significantly important for them, as circulating old brand assets after new ones are created may not look professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll look deeper into branding version control and how to prevent outdated logos or fonts from circulating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why brand asset version control matters?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not sure what counts as a brand asset or why version control matters? Take a quick look at this table.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Term<\/b><\/td>\nSimple Answer<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brand asset<\/b><\/td>\nAny visual or verbal element that represents your brand – logos, colors, fonts, icons, even your tone of voice.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Is a website a brand asset?<\/b><\/td>\nYes. Your site houses (and shows) all other assets, so it\u2019s part of the brand package.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Version control<\/b><\/td>\nA system that stores each asset in one place and records every change, so old files never replace the current ones by accident.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Do I need version control?<\/b><\/td>\nIf more than one person touches your brand files or if you plan to update them even once, the answer is almost always yes. It saves time, prevents mismatches, and keeps your brand assets straight.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Consistent branding directly affects revenue and trust. Various studies, like Marq\u2019s <\/span>State of Brand Consistency report<\/span><\/a>, show that visual mismatches <\/span>weaken recognition<\/span><\/a> and erode customer confidence. The larger your brand\u2019s footprint, the louder every off\u2011brand element echoes. And the wider the refresh – new logo, colors, or typography, the easier it is for an old asset to stick out. <\/span><\/p>\n

Organisations presenting a uniform look and feel across every channel see up to 33% more revenue than their less\u2011consistent peers. Yet 81% of marketing teams still let off-brand files slip through during a refresh.<\/span><\/p>\n
