Design & Branding

Design & Branding

Firstly! You don’t need to design templates for Vibe—our design and development teams have that covered.

This guide supports design, branding, and marketing professionals in preparing the optional brand elements used in Vibe.fyi templates. By setting up your brand theme and assets correctly, you’ll ensure all slides are visually aligned with your identity—without the need to design templates from scratch.

Vibe templates are built with the behind-the-scenes smarts needed to handle dynamic integrations, multiple screen sizes, various screen manufacturers, and different operating systems.

Our library of professionally animated, pre-designed templates is ready to go—so your internal comms team can start publishing content right away. This guide helps you support them by uploading brand elements and ensuring content stays on-brand, recognisable, and visually engaging. Whether you're supporting desktop screensavers, digital signage screens, or meeting room display content, the goal is clear: make messages glanceable, brand-aligned, and visually impactful.

Using Vibe Templates (No Design Required)

Themes act as your visual brand layer. Once your colours, fonts, and other assets are applied, they will automatically flow across all templates—ensuring consistency. Your content publishers don’t start from scratch. Vibe templates are:
  1. Pre-designed and professionally animated
  2. Visual-first and motion-based
  3. Designed for glanceable viewing (Glance Media, not click-through experiences)
  4. Each template is built to communicate messages clearly, quickly, and visually—perfect for screensavers, digital signage displays, and meeting room screens.

Pro Tips for Customisation

Every slide is editable, even after your theme is applied. Publishers can:
  1. Change image assets
  2. Adjust timing or transitions
  3. Control display order (random, date-based, manual)
  4. Select how many content items to display at once
  5. Use built-in image editing: crop, rotate, flip
  6. Images are auto-optimised on upload—no manual compression needed

“Animation and timing are already done for me—it’s polished out of the box.”
Quote
“The combination of display order and number of items lets us rotate different messages easily.”

Final Notes

  1. All brand design elements are optional and editable
  2. You’re not designing templates—you’re enabling visual consistency
  3. Let your brand shine—without reinventing the wheel.
