Branding Style Guides is a searchable archive of brand and design standards manuals collected since 2019, held as downloadable PDFs plus links to online-only guideline sites. Filters cover A-Z, 37 languages, publication years from 1963 to 2026, document size in pages, over 130 countries and regions, and around 80 industry tags. Entries range from 6-page municipal marks to 500-page systems (Ajuntament de Barcelona), and include Apple, Coca-Cola, Discord, NASA, Spotify and FIFA World Cup 2026. It is the primary reference for anyone writing or auditing a brand system.

For an agent

Reach for this when you need evidence of how real organisations specify logo clear space, colour systems, typography scales or motion rules — it is the fastest way to ground a brand-guidelines document in precedent instead of inventing conventions. Fetch it with a normal browser User-Agent: the server returns 403 to default fetch agents but 200 to a browser UA, so a naive WebFetch will look like a dead site. The payload is PDFs, so budget for OCR-free text extraction, and remember every document is trademark-restricted — use it as reference, never copy marks or wordmarks into generated output.

Why it is here. No other public collection comes close in scale or filterability, and its year filter (1963 onward) makes it a working history of identity design, not just a mood board.
