LHR Brand Book

Welcome to the LHR Brand Book. Whether you're a new member making your first graphic, or someone putting together a presentation, this is your go-to reference! Think of it as the rulebook that keeps us all looking and sounding like one unified team. When we all follow the same playbook, LHR looks a lot more impressive to the outside world.


What is a brand book?

A brand book (sometimes called a style guide) is the single source of truth for how Longhorn Racing looks, sounds, and presents itself to everyone outside our garage/the ETC. Sponsors, recruits, competition judges, and the general public all form an impression of us based on what they see and read. We want that impression to be consistent, professional, and reflective of who we are.

This guide exists so nobody has to guess. When in doubt, check here first.
