Your Brand Voice Just Got a Whole Lot More Powerful

When we built GoldenDoodle’s Brand Voice feature, the goal was simple: every person on your team, whether they’re a seasoned communications director or a program manager writing their first email blast, should sound like your organization. Same values. Same language. Same care.

That goal hasn’t changed. But what Brand Voice can now do has expanded significantly.

Here’s what’s new, why it matters, and how to get set up.

Your Logo Is Now Part of Your Brand Voice

This update is small but meaningful. When you run Brand Voice analysis, GoldenDoodle now pulls your brand’s favicon (the small icon associated with your website) and displays it inside your Brand Voice panel. You’ll also see it in chat as an icon next to your Brand Voice name.

It’s a simple touch, but a recognizable one. For organizations that manage multiple brands or sub-brands, it’s also a useful way to keep things visually organized at a glance.

Brand Voice Now Includes Visual Identity

This is the biggest update.

Brand Voice has always shaped how GoldenDoodle writes: your tone, your terminology, your audience, your values. Now it also shapes how GoldenDoodle sees. With image generation now live, that distinction matters enormously.

When you re-run your Brand Voice analysis, our agent pulls visual language directly from your website: your color palette, your aesthetic preferences, and your photographic or illustrative style. This becomes the foundation for Step 8, your Visual Identity profile.

What’s in Step 8?

Once your analysis runs, navigate to Step 8 to review and refine:

• Brand Colors: Confirm the colors pulled from your site are accurate. You can adjust hex values and label each color by role (primary, secondary, accent, neutral).
• Visual Style: Photography, illustration, or a blend? Define the overall tone: warm, professional, hopeful, calm.
• Demographic Representation Guidance: This field is new, and it’s important. Describe the communities your organization serves so generated images reflect them authentically. Our Brand Voice agent provides best-practice suggestions as a starting point, but you know your communities better than any AI.
• Cultural Sensitivity Notes: Use this open field for anything else that matters: regional context, community-specific considerations, or visual elements that resonate or should be avoided.

How to Update Your Brand Voice

You have a few options depending on how much you’ve customized your existing Brand Voice.

Option 1: Re-analyze directly

If you haven’t made many manual edits, simply open your Brand Voice and click Analyze. The agent will re-scan your website and populate your visual identity.

Note that this may overwrite some existing settings, so review everything afterward.

Option 2: Update manually

If you’d prefer full control, go directly to Step 8 and fill in your visual identity fields by hand, including logos, brand colors, and community representation guidance, without triggering a full re-analysis.

Option 3: Duplicate, then analyze (recommended if you’ve made edits)

This is the safest path if you’ve put significant work into your current Brand Voice:

1. Duplicate your existing Brand Voice so everything you’ve built is preserved.
2. On the duplicate, click Analyze to pull in visual identity.
3. Navigate to Step 8 and review the results.
4. Fill in or refine Demographic Representation Guidance and Cultural Sensitivity Notes.
5. Save. Your Brand Voice is now image-generation ready.

If you prefer, you can copy visual identity data from the duplicate back into your original Brand Voice so you keep prior settings intact.

Why This Matters for Image Generation

When you generate an image in GoldenDoodle with a Brand Voice selected, your prompt doesn’t go straight to the image model.

First, our AI agent reads your prompt alongside your full Brand Voice profile, including visual identity, trauma-informed communication principles, and demographic guidance. Then it rewrites your input into a richer, more intentional image prompt.

That refined prompt is what gets sent to generate the image.

The result isn’t just visually on-brand. It reflects your organization’s values and the dignity of the people you serve. Select Details on any generated image to view the full refined prompt, then tweak and regenerate as often as you’d like.

One of the most striking effects: your brand colors begin to appear naturally throughout your images in clothing, backgrounds, and design elements. Across a full campaign or social feed, your visual identity stays coherent and immediately recognizable.

A Note on Safety

Safety and appropriate guardrails are core to everything we build at GoldenDoodle. As with text generation, you can toggle Brand Voice and trauma-informed filters on or off for image generation depending on your needs, while still operating within our Dignity by Default standard.

That said, we’ve set firm floors that don’t move: GoldenDoodle will not generate images that are obscene, sexual, or otherwise harmful, full stop. Those guardrails are always on.

This Is Beta, and We Mean It

The visual identity layer of Brand Voice and image generation are beta features. They work, we’re proud of them, and we know there’s more to refine.

If a color pulls incorrectly, if the demographic guidance field needs a better starting prompt, or if something in output doesn’t feel right, tell us. This is exactly the stage where your feedback helps shape what we build next.
