Brand kits, delivered properly

Hand over the whole brand, not a folder of files.

BrandLocker gives every client a private portal for the logos, colours, fonts, guidelines and files you made them. One link, no account on their end, and always the version you meant them to have.

No zip files. No shared Dropbox folder. No “can you resend the logo?”

Now in beta

Help shape BrandLocker before it opens up.

BrandLocker is being tested with a small group of studios first. Put your hand up and you'll be invited to set up a studio, hand a real brand over through it, and tell us what gets in the way.

  • Early access

    Build real client kits on the full product ahead of everyone else.

  • A direct line

    Every bug and idea sent from the Feedback button lands with the person building it.

  • Just an email to start

    Leave your address and we'll be in touch when your spot opens. No account and no card until then.

What's in a kit

Everything you would have zipped up, laid out properly.

A kit is built from the same pieces a brand actually ships with. Each one gets a section of its own in the portal, so a client looking for the secondary logo in white does not have to open six folders to find it.

Logo suite

Each lock-up as its own group - primary, secondary, a badge - with every colour treatment and file format inside it.

Colours

Palettes with hex codes your client can copy, and a swatch file a designer can load straight into Illustrator.

Fonts

Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or a file you upload, each with a note on where it belongs.

Assets

Everything else they download: illustrations, photography, documents, templates - filed under categories you name.

Guidelines

The guidelines document, read page by page in the portal rather than downloaded once and lost.

Collections

Groupings across the kit - a campaign, a sub-brand - so one job's pieces sit together.

One link per client

They open a link. That is the whole handover.

Every kit gets its own address that nobody can guess at. Send it and your client is in - no sign-up, no seat to pay for, no support request six months later because somebody left and took the login with them.

  • Password-protect a portal while the work is still under wraps
  • Unpublish, or regenerate the link to retire the old one on the spot
  • Email the link with a note, in the brand's own colour, replying back to you
Your side of it

A kit built in an afternoon, not over a fortnight.

The setup runs in order - the mark, how it is coloured and set, everything it ships with, then out the door - and tells you at a glance what is still outstanding on every brand you have on the go.

  • Drop a folder in at once rather than a file at a time
  • Thumbnails made for PDFs, Office files and video, and colours named for you
  • Logo groups that keep every treatment and format of a lock-up together
When it changes

The kit moves on, and they find out from you.

A brand is not finished the day it is handed over. When you add a logo treatment or swap a file, pick what is worth mentioning and send it - the portal keeps that note at the top, and tags the things it changed, so nobody is left comparing a download against what is live.

  • Choose which changes are worth an email and which are not
  • New and updated items are marked in the portal until they are not new
  • The last note stays on the page, so it is not lost in an inbox
Past the download

Two things a folder of files could never do.

Straight into Canva

Your client sends a logo or an asset from the portal into their own Canva, where it lands in a folder named after the brand, ready to drag into a design. Add a Canva template and they get their own editable copy - your original is never touched.

The Print Room

A reprint or a new piece of design gets asked for from inside the portal, with the artwork picked from the kit and the quantity and delivery already on the form. It arrives in your dashboard and moves from new, to in progress, to done.

How it works

Three steps, and the handover is done for good.

  1. 1

    Create your studio

    Sign up and you get your own studio space, separate from every other studio on the platform.

  2. 2

    Build the kit

    A guided setup walks from the mark through to the day you publish, and keeps score of what is still outstanding.

  3. 3

    Send one link

    Publish, then copy the link or email it to your client. That link is the brand from then on.

Private by default

An unguessable link is the floor, not the ceiling.

A client portal needs no login, which makes what sits behind it matter more, not less. None of this is something you switch on - it is how the app is built.

  • Files are never public

    The storage bucket is private. Every download is a short-lived signed URL minted on the server for that one request, so nothing is guessable and nothing is listable.

  • Passwords we cannot read

    A portal password is stored as a salted scrypt hash. The app checks it and can never recover it - including for itself.

  • Studios cannot see each other

    Every dashboard read and write goes through row-level security in Postgres, scoped to your studio. The isolation is in the database, not only in the screen.

Questions

The ones that come up first.

Does my client need an account?

No. A portal is a link. They open it and the brand is there, on a laptop or a phone, with nothing to install and no password to remember unless you set one.

What if I need to take a portal down?

Unpublish it and the link stops working immediately. Regenerate it instead and the old link retires while the new one carries on - useful when a link has been forwarded further than you meant.

Can I keep a portal private?

Put a password on it. It is stored as a salted hash, so the app itself cannot read it back - which also means you set it, not recover it.

What can go into a kit?

Images, vectors, video, PDFs, EPS, font files, Office documents. Thumbnails are generated for the ones that have no preview of their own, so the portal never shows a wall of grey file icons.

Do I need Canva for any of this?

No. Canva is optional on both sides: the send-to-Canva button and the template links only appear when you have set them up.

Your next handover could be a link.

Set up your studio, build the first kit, and send it. The brand stops being a folder somebody has to keep track of.
