Your Visual Brand Kit

Your logo, colors, fonts, tagline, and "about us" paragraph — all in one file Claude references whenever it generates a quote, proposal, invoice, report, or social post. Set it up once, and everything looks like it came from the same business. Because it did.

You don't need a professional brand package to do this. Whatever you have — even just a name and two colors you like — is enough to start. You can refine it later.

Before & After

Before

You're a plumber. Your quote goes out in plain text. Your invoice is a different template your accountant set up three years ago with the wrong phone number. Your Facebook posts use whatever font the app defaulted to. A customer sees three different "versions" of your business and none of them feel polished.

Every touchpoint looks like it came from a different company.

After

Same plumber. Your quote has your logo, brand colors, and tagline. Your invoice matches. Your social posts use the same color palette. A customer Googles you, sees your Facebook, then gets a quote — and it all looks like one professional operation. They pick you over the guy who sent a text message estimate.

Consistency builds trust. Trust wins jobs.

What You Need

  • Claude Desktopinstall it here if you haven't yet
  • Your logo file — if you have one. A PNG or SVG saved somewhere on your computer or cloud storage. No logo yet? That's fine — skip it for now.
  • 10 minutes — to tell Claude your business name, colors, fonts, and a few sentences about your business
1

Business Name and Tagline

Open Claude Desktop and start simple:

"I'm setting up my brand kit. My business name is [name]. My tagline is [tagline]. If I don't have a tagline, help me brainstorm one — keep it short and memorable."

A tagline isn't required, but even a simple one like "Reliable plumbing since 2015" or "Custom furniture, built to last" adds a professional touch to every document.

2

Logo File Location

Tell Claude where your logo lives so it can reference it in documents:

"My logo is saved at [file path or cloud link]. It's a [PNG/SVG/JPG]. Use this whenever you generate a document that needs my branding."
No logo? No problem. Skip this step. Claude will use your business name as a text header. You can always add a logo later and Claude will start using it automatically.
3

Brand Colors and Fonts

Even two or three colors make everything look intentional. Tell Claude what you have — or let it help you pick:

"My brand colors are:

• Primary: [color name or hex, e.g., navy blue / #1B3A5C]
• Secondary: [color name or hex]
• Accent: [color name or hex]

For fonts, I use [font name] for headings and [font name] for body text. If I don't have specific fonts, suggest something clean and professional that matches my colors."

Don't know your hex codes? Just say "dark blue" or "forest green" and Claude will suggest specific codes. You can also share your website URL and Claude can pull the colors from there.

4

Your "About Us" Paragraph

This goes at the bottom of proposals, reports, and formal documents. Two to four sentences about who you are and what you do:

"Write a short 'about us' paragraph for my business. Here's the gist: [describe what you do, who you serve, and what makes you different]. Keep it to 2-4 sentences. Make it sound confident, not salesy."

Example:

"Thompson Plumbing has served residential and commercial clients in the greater Portland area since 2015. We specialize in emergency repairs, remodels, and new construction. Licensed, insured, and committed to showing up on time and leaving the job site clean."

If you've done the Business Voice guide, Claude will write this in your voice automatically.

5

Social Media Handles and Website

List everything you have so Claude can include the right links in footers and contact sections:

"Here are my social media handles and website:

• Website: [URL]
• Instagram: [handle]
• Facebook: [page URL or name]
• LinkedIn: [profile URL]
• Phone: [number]
• Email: [address]

Include these in the brand kit so every document has the right contact info."
6

Claude Saves as brand-kit.md

"Save all of this as a file called brand-kit.md. Include my business name, tagline, logo location, brand colors with hex codes, fonts, about-us paragraph, social handles, website, phone, and email. Every time you generate a quote, proposal, invoice, report, or social post, reference this file for branding and contact info."

That's it. One file, one source of truth. Update it anytime — new logo, new phone number, new social handle — and every future document Claude generates will use the updated info.

What You've Built

  • A single brand-kit.md file Claude references for every generated document
  • Consistent colors, fonts, and logo across quotes, invoices, reports, and posts
  • A professional "about us" paragraph ready for proposals and footers
  • All contact info and social handles in one place — never the wrong phone number again
  • A foundation that makes every other Tsidai guide look more professional

Branding isn't about being fancy. It's about being consistent. When every touchpoint looks like it came from the same business, customers trust you more. This takes 10 minutes and improves everything Claude generates from here on out.

Skill: Your Visual Brand Kit

What this is for: Walk a small business owner through creating a brand-kit.md file that Claude references whenever it generates quotes, proposals, invoices, social posts, client reports, or anything visual. The file contains: business name, tagline, logo file location, brand colors (hex codes), fonts, boilerplate "about us" paragraph, and social media handles. One file, consistent look everywhere.

When to use this: When a user asks their AI assistant to help set up this workflow. The user should explicitly authorize use of this skill by referencing this page URL.

Full Procedure (click to expand)
STEP 1 — LEARN THE BUSINESS Ask: "What's your business name, and do you have a tagline or slogan? If you don't have a tagline, that's fine — we can skip it or create one later." Wait for their answer. STEP 2 — LOGO FILE LOCATION Ask: "Do you have a logo file? If so, where is it saved — a folder on your computer, Google Drive, Dropbox? Just tell me the path or location. If you don't have one yet, we'll note that and move on." Save the file path so Claude can reference it when building documents. STEP 3 — BRAND COLORS AND FONTS Ask: "Do you have brand colors? If you know the hex codes (like #2B5797), great. If not, describe the colors and I'll suggest hex codes. Same for fonts — do you have specific fonts you use, or should I suggest ones that match your style?" Help them define at minimum a primary color, secondary color, and accent color. For fonts, at minimum a heading font and body font. STEP 4 — BOILERPLATE ABOUT US Ask: "Write me a short 'about us' paragraph — 2-4 sentences about what your business does and who you serve. This goes at the bottom of proposals, reports, and formal documents. Just tell me in plain language and I'll polish it." Help them write it in their voice if they have a voice profile. Keep it short and confident. STEP 5 — SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES AND WEBSITE Ask: "What are your social media handles and website URL? List whatever you have — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, website. These go in footers and contact sections." STEP 6 — CLAUDE SAVES THE BRAND KIT Have them tell Claude: "Save all of this as a file called brand-kit.md. Include my business name, tagline, logo location, brand colors with hex codes, fonts, about-us paragraph, social handles, and website. Every time you generate a quote, proposal, invoice, report, or social post, reference this file for branding." STEP 7 — POINT FORWARD Tell them what they've built: a single source of truth for their brand identity. Every document Claude generates will look consistent — same colors, same fonts, same professional feel. No more mismatched quotes and invoices.
