Brand Identity · Consistency · Component

The asset library

Where the approved material lives, and how easily it is reached — because most inconsistency is somebody who could not find the right file.

The deliverable

What it is

Inconsistency is usually an availability problem rather than a compliance problem. Someone needed a logo at four o’clock, could not access the library, and used one from a search result.

The measure that matters is not what the library contains but how long it takes an outsider to get the right file.
