How to Add Another Logo Variation | Guideit

After generating your brand guidelines with Guideit, you can add additional logo variations directly inside the same document.

If you need to add another logo variation—such as a horizontal lockup, vertical lockup, or alternative mark—follow the steps below to insert the new variation and update your brand guidelines.

Step 1: Generate

After uploading your logo, fonts, and colours, click Generate.

Step 2: Unlock layers

By default, templates use unlocked layers. If you’ve locked any layers after generating, make sure all layers are unlocked to avoid missing elements in the next steps.

Step 3: Duplicate artboards

Use the Artboard Tool to duplicate an artboard that contains a logo.

It’s recommended to duplicate a simple logo page from the logo section.

Step 4: Delete placeholders

By default, each template includes placeholders used for automation.

Delete any placeholders on the duplicated artboard to avoid generation issues on the new page.

Step 5: Select 'Lines' layer

You want to add your second logo variation on a seperate layer, that doesn't have automation elements. The 'Lines' layer is the best option.

Step 6: Add your second logo variation

Place your new logo variation on the LINES layer.

This keeps it separate from the default logo layers and helps prevent issues.

Step 7: Reorder the artboards

Use the Artboards panel to place the new artboard in the correct position within the document.

Step 8: Apply Changes

Click Apply Changes to automatically update page numbers and refresh the document based on the new artboard order.
