Letterhead
Logo, company details and a clean writing area. Used for letters, contracts and formal mail.
A letterhead and a few matching templates make every letter, invoice and report look like it came from one company.
Free: your brand in 3 real designs, in 48 hours.
Most companies need six document templates: a letterhead, an invoice, a proposal, a report, a one-page sheet and a slide deck. They share one logo spot, one grid, the same two fonts and the same colours.
Make them once as locked files. People then write in them without changing the layout. Send letters and invoices as PDF so they look the same everywhere.
Start with these. Add more when the team asks.

This is what makes a set look like one company.
| Rule | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Logo spot | Same place on every document | People learn where to look |
| Grid | Same margins, same column sizes | The set feels calm |
| Fonts | Two brand fonts and one safe backup | Looks right on any computer |
| Colours | Brand palette with one accent | Stops colour drift |
| Footer | Same line of company details | Looks official |
| File names | Client, document, date, version | No hunting in folders |
These rules come from your brand. Not written yet? Start with one-page brand guidelines, or read what to include in brand guidelines.

Documents go off brand the same way as posts. Someone changes a font, someone copies an old file.
With a Brand OS Portal, my clients keep their documents next to the logo files and rules, so the team makes them itself, in the brand. A designer is still the right call for brand strategy and a new identity. Brand OS Portal is for the daily work after that.
