William & Mary brand guidelines
William & Mary's Brand Hub provides accessible brand guidelines, downloadable assets hosted via Canto, and interactive design tools.
Freedam's take — I really appreciate how William & Mary organizes their Brand Hub around daily utility. Instead of burying practical items deep within identity theory, they surface immediate necessities like palettes, downloads, and a dedicated color contrast checker right from the start. Connecting their logo and wallpaper downloads straight out to Canto keeps file delivery structured while the documentation handles context on the web pages. Their visual section also covers granular graphic styling like lines, curves, and gradients, helping external creators understand the building blocks of their design language.
