After working with many brand guides, here's what produces the best extraction results:
Essential Elements:
✅ Color swatches WITH hex codes (not just visual)
✅ Font names explicitly stated (not just shown)
✅ Brand voice described with specific characteristics
✅ Clear do's and don'ts for logo usage
✅ Text-based PDF (not scanned images)
Pro Tip:
Even a simple 5-page guide with clear specs works better than a 100-page guide with everything as images.
What's in your brand guide that extracted really well (or didn't)?
