We have worked hard to get here. Yet it still feels like we are just in the beginning. But today, we are one step closer to showing the designer community what we have in store. Giving designers the ability to create Online Brand Guideline Templates on Bravemark and share them with the rest of the world is something we are very proud of, especially since we are the only platform that allows this to be done right now. And we are only a three-man bootstrapping team. This feature opens up the possibility for designer to sell their layouts on secondary marketplaces like Gumroad and takes a step forward towards the future of online brand guidelines. If you're a brand designer, I invite you to explore a new standard in brand guidelines. Install this responsive online brand guideline template on your Bravemark account and discover a more actionable and practical approach to brand guidelines. app.bravemark.co/editor/proj…

Design thinking is about understanding the problem, empathizing with your users, and iterating until you find the perfect solution.

Bitcoin is not only one of the most interesting technological innovations of our time. It has also become a global brand and symbol of freedom and hope for a more egalitarian economic system. Yet there is no official logo or brand. There is no central authority that decides what the Bitcoin Brand Identity should be. The Bitcoin Brand Identity is governed by Open Design principles. This means that it is the community consensus that organically accepts what it should be. This unique, grassroots branding process is a perfect reflection of Bitcoin’s core ethos: decentralization, transparency, and community consensus. Despite being one of the most controversial and distinguished tech brands of the century I could not find a solid resource where you could get all their brand assets and get a good idea of how the current brand identity is being implemented, so I created a Bitcoin Brand Guideline on Bravemark. I hope it will prove itself a useful resource for makers and content creators in the Bitcoin ecosystem and that with the help of others, we can keep it alive and up to date as accurately as possible. $btc #btc #bitcoin #brandguidelines See it here: beta.bravemark.co/jsteneros/…

Doing something good for the graphic design community is something that has always been on my mind since I started Bravemark. I think that the main thing that we as designers can benefit from the most is getting away from our computers and interacting with each other in real life whilst developing a stronger connection with nature. We spend so much time in front of our screens, many of us working from home on our own and only talking to people behind our screens. Don't get me wrong, I love remote work. I think it is a positive thing, and I believe it to be the future of work. It earns you time and gives you the freedom to organize and plan your life on your own terms. The only drawback is that it can isolate you from interacting with people in real life. VR and AI will soon take us to an increasingly digitalized and abstract world. And even though these technologies will benefit us in many ways. I think it is extremely important for us not to lose touch with reality and to devote more of our time to interacting with each other in real life. Nature is another reality that, as we have evolved, we have been losing touch with. It's easy to forget that we are part of it, that we are created from the same matter and that we are part of the same universal design. We surround ourselves with so many things that are man-made that it is hard to even see. But it is there, and it is everywhere. Nature is the ultimate design. It's the divine design. It came before us and will be there long after us we have gone. It's the true reality of physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry. For me, nature is something that not only connects me with true physical reality but is also a source of inspiration and well-being. After a lot of tinkering, I came up with the idea of creating a nonprofit/open-source community for graphic designers to get together and organize hikes in nature. This gave birth to the idea of starting Designer Hikes. 🌲 It's important to stress that this community is meant to be open-source in the sense that any designer can contribute to managing and organizing it. There are many tasks at hand to make this workout. So for anyone who wants to help out, you can DM @designerhikes This brings us to today's brand brief challenge, in which we are asking designers to submit a brand identity design and compete for some amazing prizes that we have managed to provide through the following amazing sponsors. @DaumLogos @logogeek @DsgnBuddies @hype4academy @lstoregraphics @PangramPangram_ @TrueGritTexture Bendito Mockups @TDFoundry @graceleaf_ @michalmalewicz @HelloBravemark To get all the details of the challenge, go here go.bravemark.co/hikes If you like the initiative, please consider retweeting and helping us get this out there to everyone.

Very happy to have completed this brand identity project for GrowYo. I try not to take on many side projects, but doing branding projects also helps us improve Bravemark. Let me know what you guys think. Check out the full brandpage here beta.bravemark.co/jsteneros/…

Branding is not a sprint; it's a marathon.
