Brand System Framework

品牌系统框架

Every brand implementation must be consistent across these pillars:
  1. Visual Identity - Logo, colors, typography, imagery, iconography
  2. Voice & Tone - How the brand communicates in writing
  3. Design Tokens - Code-level implementation of brand values
  4. Component Library - Branded UI components
  5. Content Standards - Writing style, formatting, terminology
所有品牌落地必须在以下维度保持一致性:
  1. 视觉标识 - Logo、色彩、排版、图像、图标
  2. 语气语调 - 品牌书面沟通的风格
  3. Design Tokens(设计令牌) - 品牌价值的代码级落地
  4. 组件库 - 品牌化UI组件
  5. 内容规范 - 写作风格、格式、术语

Visual Identity

视觉标识

Logo Usage Rules

Logo使用规范

  • Clear space: Minimum padding around logo equal to the height of the logomark
  • Minimum size: Never render logo smaller than 24px height (digital) or 10mm (print)
  • Backgrounds: Define approved background colors/contrasts for logo placement
  • Don'ts: Never stretch, rotate, recolor, add effects, or place on busy backgrounds
  • Variations: Define when to use full logo vs logomark vs wordmark
  • File formats: SVG for web, PNG for general use, PDF for print
  • 留白要求:Logo周围的最小内边距等于Logo图形的高度
  • 最小尺寸:数字端Logo高度不得小于24px,印刷端不得小于10mm
  • 背景规范:明确Logo可放置的背景色及对比度要求
  • 禁止操作:不得拉伸、旋转、重着色、添加特效,或放置在复杂背景上
  • 变体使用:明确何时使用完整Logo、仅Logo图形或仅文字标志
  • 文件格式:网页端使用SVG,通用场景使用PNG,印刷端使用PDF

Color System

色彩系统

Define a structured color palette with semantic naming:
css
/* Brand Colors - Primary */
--color-primary-50: #f0f7ff;
--color-primary-100: #e0efff;
--color-primary-200: #b8dbff;
--color-primary-500: #2563eb;   /* Main brand color */
--color-primary-600: #1d4ed8;   /* Hover state */
--color-primary-700: #1e40af;   /* Active state */
--color-primary-900: #1e3a5f;

/* Semantic Colors */
--color-success: #16a34a;
--color-warning: #d97706;
--color-error: #dc2626;
--color-info: #2563eb;

/* Neutral Scale */
--color-neutral-50: #fafafa;
--color-neutral-100: #f5f5f5;
--color-neutral-200: #e5e5e5;

Color Accessibility Rules

色彩无障碍规范

  • Text on backgrounds must meet WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1 normal, 3:1 large)

  • Test with color blindness simulators
  • Provide dark mode variants with equivalent contrast
  • 背景上的文字必须符合WCAG AA对比度标准(常规文本4.5:1,大文本3:1)
  • 不得仅使用颜色传达信息(需搭配图标、标签、图案)
  • 使用色盲模拟器进行测试
  • 提供具有等效对比度的深色模式变体
