Brand Asset Naming Conventions

Consistency fails when people grab the wrong file. Naming conventions are boring—but they’re one of the fastest ways to reduce mistakes across a small team.

Simple rules

Rules

  • One source of truth folder (don’t duplicate master assets across multiple places).
  • Use consistent components in names: brand, asset type, variant, color, size, format, version.
  • Avoid spaces and special characters; use hyphens.
  • Include version numbers when assets change (v1, v2).

Logo naming examples

Examples

  • magnt-logo-primary-fullcolor-v1.svg
  • magnt-logo-primary-black-v1.svg
  • magnt-logo-primary-white-v1.svg
  • magnt-logo-mark-fullcolor-v1.svg
  • magnt-logo-favicon-32x32-v1.png
  • magnt-logo-favicon-48x48-v1.png

Template naming examples

Examples

  • magnt-social-instagram-post-1080x1080-v1.canva
  • magnt-social-instagram-story-1080x1920-v1.canva
  • magnt-email-signature-v1.html
  • magnt-sales-deck-template-16x9-v1.pptx

Folder structure (simple)

Suggested folders

  • 01-brand-foundation (positioning, voice, pillars)
  • 02-identity (logo, colors, typography, icons, imagery rules)
  • 03-templates (social, deck, email)
  • 04-campaigns (by date or campaign name)
  • 05-exports (ready-to-use files)
