The best style guide examples can be a pleasure to gawp at for anyone interested in branding and graphic design, and they can also be great resources to learn from. A branding style guide or style manual sets out the standards for the design of all manner of brand resources, including website pages, social media content, signage and collaterals.

Their objective is to ensure a coherent consistent identity across all channels, both physical and digital, and they can often be meticulously detailed.
