Most Comprehensive Brand Book Templates
This list consists of all-inclusive templates that cover all necessary sections and often go beyond just graphics, including also strategy (mission, vision, personality, tone of voice etc.).
Of course they also cover all aspects of visual branding like: your logo, typography, colors, imagery, composition, illustrations, animations, packaging, web design, icons and more.
They might be a bit pricy, but they often come with full money-back guarantee and future updates for free.
Overall, they’re very extensive yet still easily editable—just drop in your own images, fix some text, and it’s ready!
You can use different applications to create your style guide, but InDesign templates are the most common.
Opt for Adobe InDesign to create a solid, multipage style guide.
InDesign is the best choice to design and publish multipage documents containing text, vectors, and images—this makes it a perfect software to design your guidelines.
Best InDesign Style Guide Templates
These templates use master pages, paragraph styles, gird system, color swatches and other helpful tools to make your design process fast and enjoyable.

All of these templates come with InDesign files (.INDD)—just drop in your own vectors, images and texts and you’re good to go.
I recommend all designers to use InDesign to create their style guides, but if you’re not familiar with it—below I feature templates for other Adobe CC apps like Illustrator and Photoshop.
If you’re not familiar with InDesign (like many designers), then check out my templates for Adobe Illustrator.
Most designers are more comfortable with Illustrator—it’s the next best app to get your style guide done.
Illustrator offers options for developing print and digital designs which makes it still a great option to go for when designing your guidelines document.
For those who work on a branding project using a design-ready Illustrator template is an effective way to introduce the new brand (since Illustrator is used for logo design as well).
That's why I’ve compiled a list of some of the best illustrator templates that come with flat, clean, classic and minimalist style.

While Photoshop is NOT preferred choice to use when creating your style guide—it can be used if you don’t know illustrator or InDesign.
Adobe Photoshop is known to most designers which makes it a great app to create your guidelines.
Adobe Photoshop is a critical tool for any graphic designer, which makes it super accessible if you don't want to learn how to use proper software like illustrator or InDesign.
All of these style guide templates are available in both A4 and US letter sizes, so that you can use them successfully all over the world.
They focus on simple clean style and a strong grid layout which makes it a perfect choice if your brand identity is modern and minimalist as well.
As we all know—It’s easy to edit things in Photoshop (especially with SmartObjects) therefore you can customize these templates up to your liking.
They all come with Photoshop files (.PSD)—just add your logo, edit the colors and fonts and voila!
These templates are created in order to be used by everyone with just basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop—which makes it very convenient for all graphic designers.
If you’re not a designer per se, then you can use basic presentation software to build your style guide—Keynote being one of them.
