I like how clear William & Mary keeps things across their Brand Hub. Instead of burying their color rules in technical paragraphs, they offer an interactive color contrast checker right inside the portal to test text and background pairings against accessibility standards. Their visual brand section breaks identity rules into four clear graphic principles—lines, curves, gradients, and rounded corners. Routing asset downloads out to separate Canto portals for internal campus users and outside partners keeps the main site uncluttered while making sure everyone gets the right files.
