User-Centric and Direct

The user-centric brand guide was built to minimize any need to guess. Rather than simply writing instructions, each brand guideline is provided in a precise example of application and context.

Leading by Example

The Essendant brand identity is heavily visual, and the only proper way to express the brand's guidelines is in the same fashion. When applicable, each directive is brought to life with the same visual caliber we expect our associates to strive for.

Providing Guardrails

It's not always enough to point your team in the right direction. Sometimes you need to steer them away from danger as well. The brand guide is designed to ensure each directive provides examples of both valid and invalid brand execution.
