I like how pragmatic IE University is with this design portal. Built on zeroheight, it serves a complex academic institution without feeling overwhelming. I noticed they separate general brand foundations from tailored school brand kits, giving entities like the School of Architecture & Design their own logo variants and clear space rules. The starting kit is especially thoughtful, providing presentation slides, diploma files, and Figma onboarding decks alongside everyday assets. The color palette page even lets you switch between RGB and CMYK or export as JSON, making the system genuinely useful for both designers and staff.
