Design once and deploy everywhere by turning brand rules into reusable parts and parameters. See how tokens, accessibility and governance keep touchpoints consistent.
In modern brand systems, what are design tokens used for?
centralizing values like colors, type scales and spacing for use across platforms
storing long‑form brand stories
exporting only raster logos
managing payroll data
For small screens and favicons, which logo approach improves recognition?
a responsive logo system with simplified marks and lockups
text embedded in images to ‘keep fidelity’
wordmarks only, no symbols
a single complex logo at all sizes
What minimum contrast ratio should body text generally meet for AA accessibility?
1.5:1
2:1
4.5:1
10:1
How should motion be handled for users who prefer reduced motion?
replace motion with flashing patterns
respect the setting and offer subtle or no animation with short durations
ignore the setting—it’s only advisory
autoplay long, looping animations
What ensures the same components appear consistently in design files and code?
verbal instructions during onboarding
PDF guidelines emailed quarterly
a static brand book on the intranet
paired libraries with versioning in both design tools and front‑end repos
Which color practice best prepares for dark mode?
define light and dark theme tokens, then test brand colors on real UIs
make backgrounds pure black in every case
invert all colors automatically
reuse the same palette everywhere
What icon rule typically improves cross‑platform clarity?
let each product team draw icons freely
outline some icons and fill others at random
use a shared grid and stroke rules across the icon set
combine photos and emojis as icons
Which practice reduces regressions as identity rolls out across apps?
approving screens in chat threads
manual screenshots only
waiting for user complaints
automated checks like token linting and visual regression tests
What globalization detail should modular systems plan for from the start?
use English in images to avoid translation
right‑to‑left layouts and localized type rules in tokens
lock everything to left‑to‑right
machine‑translate images after launch
What’s a practical handoff artifact for engineers consuming brand decisions?
screenshots pasted into email
a token JSON (or similar) package published to the codebase
a keynote with logo histories
a folder of PNGs only
