Brand.yml

By Posit

Define your brand colors, fonts, and logos once, use them everywhere in Shiny and Quarto.

Logo

• Provides AI prompt templates for generating logos in different styles (minimalist, geometric, iOS app icons)
• Guides you through a validation loop to review and refine AI outputs before finalizing
• Recommends the best AI models for different logo types (text-heavy vs icon-only)
• Includes checklists for exporting logos in the right formats (SVG, PNG, favicon sizes)
• Offers decision trees for when to use AI vs hire a designer or use DIY templates

Brand.yml

• Creates a single YAML file that stores your brand colors, fonts, and logo files
• Automatically applies your branding to Shiny web apps and Quarto documents
• Supports light and dark mode variants for colors and logos
• Integrates with Google Fonts and custom typography
• Works across HTML reports, dashboards, slides, and PDFs
