Steam brand guidelines
Steam hosts partner branding rules and downloadable asset bundles directly within the technical Steamworks developer documentation.
Freedam's take — I like how pragmatic Steam is with their partner documentation. Instead of building a flashy microsite, they embed branding requirements straight into the Steamworks developer manual. You get clear instructions alongside downloadable packages for Steam, Steam Deck, Early Access, and Steam Workshop. There are direct links to vector assets, guidelines PDFs, and practical examples for packaging inserts. It feels utilitarian, but for game developers trying to ship quickly and follow store rules, having everything in one documentation hub makes complete sense.
