Corporate Design

What is corporate design?

Corporate Design (CD) is a company’s visual identity, its logo, color palette, typography, imagery, icon set, and layout principles. It is part of the overarching corporate identity. A consistent CD ensures brand recognition at every touchpoint, from business cards to social media posts. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we translate CD manuals into living design systems (tokens, components, documentation) to ensure consistency in day-to-day editorial work, not just in the PDF guidelines.
