A brand kit is a color palette StratEngine extracts from your logo, your brand guidelines, or both. Create one in Settings under Brand kits. When you generate a deck or click View in Browser on a document, you choose which kit to apply, or none.
Brand kits are personal. Other people in your workspace don’t see your kits and need to create their own.

​
Create a brand kit

1

Open Settings

Click Settings in the side menu and scroll to Brand kits.
2

Click Add brand kit

A New brand kit form opens.
3

Add a logo, brand text, or both

You need at least one of these:
  • Logo: click Choose logo and pick a PNG, JPEG or WebP image of up to 2 MB.
  • Brand text: paste your brand guidelines or a description of your brand into Brand guidelines or description (optional). Up to 20,000 characters.
4

Name the kit (optional)

Type a name in the kit name field. If you leave it blank, StratEngine picks a name for you.
5

Click Create kit

The button shows Extracting colors… for a few seconds. When it’s done, you see Brand kit “name” created. and the kit appears in the list with its color swatches.
The Brand kits section of Settings with two kits, their color swatches and Delete buttons

​
What’s in a kit

Each kit is a palette of seven colors covering backgrounds, surfaces, text, muted text, accents and borders. StratEngine checks the palette for readable contrast when it creates the kit. A logo icon next to a kit’s name means the kit includes a logo.

​
Apply a brand kit

You choose a kit each time, so one kit doesn’t lock in your look: In both windows, pick a kit or No branding (StratEngine theme). The windows only appear once you have at least one brand kit. See Generate a deck and Export a document, print, or save as PDF.

​
Fonts are fixed

Brand kits change colors, not fonts. Every deck uses the same fonts: Carlito for body text and Bricolage Grotesque for headings. This is deliberate: the fonts were chosen so text lays out the same way when a deck is exported to Google Slides or PowerPoint. If you see Carlito in the Google Slides font menu after exporting, that’s expected. See Export a deck.

​
Change or delete a kit

Kits can’t be edited. To change one, create a new kit with the updated logo or text, then delete the old one. To delete a kit, click Delete on its row, then click Confirm within a few seconds. Click Cancel to keep it. Deleting a kit doesn’t change decks you already built with it. Regenerating those decks later means choosing a different kit.
