Creating consistent, on-brand visuals doesn't have to be complicated. With Canva’s Brand Kit feature, your team can stay visually aligned across social media posts, flyers, event materials, and more—all without needing a professional designer for every project.

Here’s a simple guide to getting your Brand Kit up and running:

Step 1: Set Up Your Canva Pro Account

First things first: if you're a nonprofit organization, you may be eligible for Canva Pro for free! Learn more and apply here.

Once you're on Canva Pro, head to Brand → Brand Hub in your Canva dashboard.

Step 2: Upload Your Logo(s)

Add your primary logo, secondary logo, and any alternative versions (like icons or vertical formats).
This makes it easy to drag-and-drop the right logo into any future design.

Step 3: Choose Your Brand Colors

Pick your core brand colors—and stick to them!
Upload your official color palette by adding HEX codes, and give them easy-to-remember names (like "Main Blue" or "Accent Gold").

Step 4: Set Your Brand Fonts

Upload or select your primary typefaces for headings, subheadings, and body text.
Setting this once ensures every flyer, post, or presentation looks cohesive and polished.

Step 5: Organize Brand Elements

If you have branded backgrounds, patterns, icons, or custom graphics, upload them into organized folders.
This will save your team time—and avoid "off-brand" improvising later.

Pro Tip:

Once your Brand Kit is set up, you can easily apply it to Canva Templates, ensuring every piece your team creates stays visually consistent.
