How to Set Up Your Canva Brand Kit (Updated for 2026) · Brenda Cadman, Canva Verified Expert
Lesson

A starter kit is the set of files and values that lets anyone, including you on a tired Thursday, make something on brand without stopping to decide again. It holds the wordmark in every version you need, the colours written as values, two typefaces with the sizes you use, a handful of templates and a short note on photographs. Two days is enough to make one. A third day usually means you are polishing what nobody will notice.
