Swiss Architecture Brand Guidelines Template – 48-Page Brand Book for InDesign

Hand over a calm, precise brand book to an architecture studio, office developer or mixed-use project without starting from a blank page. Every page sits on structural axes A–E, like a building drawing. The template is organised in 7 numbered sections, each opening with a divider and an outlined section numeral:

• 01 Brand – mission, vision, principles, positioning, audiences, tone of voice
• 02 Logo – primary logo, construction, clear space, minimum sizes, versions, colour versions, logo on photography, misuse, co-branding and project names
• 03 Colour – palette with CMYK, RGB, HEX and Pantone, proportions, contrast & accessibility (WCAG), tints and materials
• 04 Typography – one free type family, hierarchy, rules for numbers, areas, levels and IDs
• 05 Visual elements – 12-column grid on structural axes, centre marks, architectural drawings, architecture and workplace photography, icons, data graphics
• 06 Applications – stationery, digital & social, boards and slides, sales & leasing, site hoarding & signage, brand in use, 2 mockup pages
• 07 Production & files – print specifications, file naming, checks & contacts
