If you want to create branded content for your business with simplicity and ease, Canva's Brand Kit is bound to become your new favorite go-to content creation tool. Whether you're a social media manager who needs to constantly toggle between different brand identities for your clients or a content creator who wants to keep your brand look and feel visually consistent, keeping every piece of content you create for your business on-brand has never been easier.
Here's everything you need to know to make the most out of Canva's brand kit feature and PLANOLY's Canva integration.
Clear brand guidelines are essential to ensuring consistency in presenting your brand in content and all other assets. Canva Brand Kits makes setting up your brand guidelines simple so you can apply them to any designs you create, including your brand fonts, colors, logos, and approved imagery. Plus, it makes it easy to share your brand kits with other partners and collaborators.
Follow these steps to set up your brand kit in Canva:
Step 1: Once logged into your Canva account, select the hamburger button on the top right to access the main menu. Select 'brand,' and this will open up the brand kit section where you can set up as many brand kits as you need. It's important to note that brand features like the brand kit are only available on premium Canva accounts.
Step 2: Select the 'Add New' Button on the top right corner of the Brand Kit section and assign your kit a name.
Step 3: Once your brand kit is created, you can upload your logo, add colors and fonts, and upload brand photos, graphics, and icons. You can also add brand voice guidelines so Canva's AI-powered writing assistant, MagicWrite, can help generate copy for your designs.
Step 4: Once you've set up your brand kit, you can assign it to a team or a folder in Canva for easy application.
How to Use Canva Brand Kits to Customize Templates
When designing a file in Canva, you can access your brand kit to apply to your design by selecting 'brand' in the sidebar menu. Here, you can add your brand logos, fonts, colors, images, and branded templates to your designs in one click.
Note: Canva is not available in the Planoly Mobile App.
