Post-MVP startups often face inconsistent branding across channels without needing a full rebrand. A brand refresh (evolution) differs from a rebrand (revolution) – choose refresh when your product has outpaced your branding. The Minimum Viable Branding approach includes a core message, logo, color scheme, voice guide, and social templates. Use the Keep-Fix-Upgrade framework to audit existing assets: keep aligned elements, fix inconsistencies, upgrade what's holding you back. Start by revisiting positioning and messaging before visual changes. Create a simple design system with locked-down colors, fonts, and UI components for consistency. Communicate changes transparently to early users and team members who supported your journey.
