Start with the decisions, not the decoration

The short version: teams do not fail here because they lack effort. They fail because nobody wrote down which decision belongs to whom.

Name every colour by role, not by hex, so nobody has to guess which blue is the button.
Show the logo at its smallest allowed size first. That is where identities break.
Write the tone of voice as three do/do-not pairs, not three paragraphs.
