Brand asset file naming schemes

Logo

  • Vector Example: EMRL_VerticalLogo_CMYK-FullColor.ai
  • Breakdown: CLIENTCODE_Variation_ColorSpace-ColorVariation.format
  • Raster Example: EMRL_VerticalLogo_CMYK-FullColor_1920x1080.png
  • Breakdown: CLIENTCODE_Variation_ColorSpace-ColorVariation.format

Design file

  • Working file: 200904_Temple-CaseStudy_11x17.indd
  • Production file: 200904_Temple-CaseStudy_11x17_PROD.indd
  • Breakdown: YYMMDD_Design-DocumentName_Size_PROD.format

General file naming notes

  • _ (underscore) seperates new ideas in file name, - (hyphen) groups related ideas e.g. CMYK-FullColor would be correct since FullColor is a refinement of CMYK and not a completely new type of attribute.
  • Do not use spaces
  • Do not use special characters
  • Avoid using non-alphanumeric characters in file names, such as: '*' ':' '' '/' '<' '>' '|' '"' '!' '?' '[' ']' ';' '=' '+' '&' 'Β£' '$' '€' '%' or ','. These characters can cause problems with different operating systems.

General folder naming notes

  • Title case
  • Spaces are allowed
