Why we picked it This is a genuinely one-page template you can fill in the same afternoon, in Word, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF, so no design tool is required. It prompts for exactly the essentials a launch needs: logo usage, colors, type, and voice, and nothing you do not. Treat it as a starting sheet you expand into a fuller brand book only once the business earns it.

One-Page Brand Guidelines Template (Free)

From Smartsheet by Smartsheet One page, fill in the same day

  • Prompts you for the launch essentials only: logo usage, color palette, typography, and brand voice on a single page.
  • Ships in Word, PowerPoint, Google Slides, and PDF, so anyone on the team can open and edit it.
  • Built for small teams, so it is a starting point you grow into a fuller brand book, not a 30-slide deck to fill before launch.

Why we picked it This is the simple artifact your answer describes: list the three or four criteria you both care about, weight them, and score each idea. Filling it in together forces you to agree on what matters before you argue about which idea wins. It also exposes when a founder is overweighting one pet factor, which is a useful conversation to have out loud.
