Website Redesign & Conversions
Using Existing Brand Assets in a Website Redesign
Prepare usable logos, colours, typography and imagery before redesign work. Preserve brand recognition without stretching unsuitable files.
In this guide
A business does not need a new identity every time its website changes. Often the project needs better use of the existing assets and a few practical decisions about where they work.
Gather the original files
Look for appropriate vector or high-quality source versions of the logo, approved colour values and typography rights. A small image copied from a social profile may not work for a large banner. Preserve the originals before producing web variants.
Review real page conditions
A logo may need suitable versions for light and dark backgrounds. Brand colours still need readable combinations for text and controls. Decorative typography that works in a poster may be unsuitable for long service explanations or form fields.
- Avoid distorting logo proportions.
- Keep useful image alternatives accurate.
- Use a small, intentional font set.
- Check mobile sizes and high-contrast situations.
- Document approved variations and their purposes.
Make a component decision
For example, a brand's accent colour might be appropriate for large graphic areas but lack contrast as small text on white. A darker related tone can preserve the visual identity while improving readability. That is a design adjustment, not automatically a full rebrand.
Hand over usable assets
Provide optimised website files and retain the source versions with ownership notes. Record where each variant belongs so later editors do not replace a working logo with an oversized or low-resolution upload. Consistent practical use is more valuable than adding every possible brand effect.
