Circle brand guidelines
Circle presents brand guidelines split across parent brand principles and individual token assets like USDC and USYC.
Freedam's take — I love seeing how Circle structures their Frontify portal across distinct entities. Rather than bundling everything together, they break their brand documentation into dedicated sections for the parent company, stablecoins like USDC and EURC, and specific products like USYC. The USDC guide is particularly thorough, outlining not just core elements like palettes and typography with Baskervville and ABC Monument Grotesk, but also naming rules across blockchains like Cosmos and Polkadot. Providing direct asset downloads alongside explicit token lockup rules makes integration much smoother for partners.

What I could not see
- Full details of the EURC Brand Guide were not captured.
- Internal pages under Writing for Circle and Iconography were not inspected.
Ideas to borrow
- Splitting brand systems into parent brand foundations and distinct product-level token guides helps keep sub-brand assets clear and accessible.
