1. Disney - Dimension-by-dimension assessment

A. Brand Identity Clarity — 2/5

Why 2?

The intro frames the intent as protecting the integrity and value of the brand, noting Disney is “synonymous with the highest quality entertainment” and that materials must “communicate the breadth and scope of the Disney experience.”
AVATAR, MARVEL and Star Wars™ have short brand descriptions and values (e.g. MARVEL’s promise “Epic storytelling with a human spirit” and values like heroism, relatability, intensity).

Gaps / vagueness

No clear articulation of Disney Destinations brand purpose, promise, or positioning (especially vs. other family/holiday brands).
No codified brand personality (e.g. “playful, reassuring, expert”) for Disney Destinations or MagiKit.
Identity is implied (magic, quality, breadth of IP) but not broken into machine-usable attributes.

B. Verbal Identity Readiness (tone definition) — 2/5

Why 2?

A few light tone pointers:
Social copy should be relevant and concise.
Blogs/vlogs distinction between editorial vs marketing; guidance on disclosure hashtags for press trips (#presstrip #gifted #ad).
AVATAR/MARVEL/Star Wars pages describe brand values and what they are / are not (e.g. AVATAR “aspirational, cutting edge, empowering… not preachy, righteous or religious”).

Gaps / vagueness

No explicit tone-of-voice framework for Disney Destinations or how partners should sound when selling Disney (e.g. formal vs casual, whimsical vs practical).
No channel- or audience-specific tone variation (how you sound in a brochure vs TikTok vs website).
No examples of “on-tone” vs “off-tone” copy beyond legal / nomenclature usage.

C. Verbal Rules (must-do / must-not-do) — 5/5

Why 5? The book is extremely rich in hard verbal rules, especially around nomenclature and wording:

Character & copy rules
Characters cannot be sales people or talk about “offers, prices, products or services.”
Don’t refer to Characters or attractions as “favourite”; use “beloved” or “much loved”.
Never demean Characters or use puns like “Taking the Mickey”, “Thor-iffic”, or Disney song lyrics / quotes in messaging.
Partner wording
Must not use “official partner”; only “preferred partner” is acceptable.
Comms must clearly originate from the partner, not look like they’re made by Disney.
Social & digital
Cannot create your own hashtags using Disney trademarks; must use Disney-provided hashtags.
Channel names/usernames may not contain Disney trademarked terms or look like official Disney accounts.
Nomenclature
Dozens of pages of exact names for parks, lands, attractions, dining, hotels, cruise venues and experiences, with strict rules on registered marks, capitalisation, and offsetting.

Gaps / vagueness

Rules are primarily prohibitions and lexical constraints, not expressive writing guidance.
They’re spread across sections; there’s a short DO/DO NOT recap, but no central “Verbal Rulebook” for fast machine extraction.

D. Visual Identity Readiness — 4/5

Why 4?

Strong, clear coverage of how partner creative must use Disney visual assets:
Characters: cannot be sales people, cannot be modified, repeated, or cropped; must appear in relevant environments (parks/ships) and only as in-park photography (no animation).
Imagery: use only Disney-approved photography from MagiKit, no montages, no text over characters or key properties, careful cropping rules, no guns except obvious toys.
Logos: detailed specs per brand (Disneyland® Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disney Cruise Line) including minimum sizes, clear space, colour variants and background requirements.
Design elements: use your own fonts (never the “Walt” font), strict rules for the Mickey three-circle icon, pixie dust graphics, and castle icons.
Maps: cannot be altered or montaged; must be reproduced large enough to be legible.

Gaps / vagueness

No global colour palette, layout grid, or typographic hierarchy for partners—visual identity is largely “use your brand + our assets correctly.”
No overarching “visual mood” (e.g. bright, cinematic, documentary) beyond what’s implicit in the photography.

E. Visual Rules (must-do / must-not-do) — 5/5

Why 5?

The core of the book is visual do/don’t rules:
Characters:
- Cannot hold or look at offers or prices.
- Cannot be repeated on the same page/spread.
- Cannot be cropped, flipped, or dressed in other costumes.
Imagery:
- Only Disney-approved assets, no text over characters/castles, no montages, no distortion/stretching, careful cropping only with approval.
Logos:
- Disney logo must be ~25% smaller than partner logo and never altered or repeated on a page; clear do/don’t layout examples.
Design elements:
- Mickey icon cannot be used with offers or as a holding device for sales info; pixie dust never used with AVATAR/MARVEL/Star Wars and never on offers.
AI:
- Explicit rule: “no AI generated Disney images or AI generated adjustments to existing Disney images are permitted”; all AI submissions must be flagged for approval.

Gaps / vagueness

From an AI perspective, rules are very strict and non-negotiable; Brand Brain will need a hard “no-generation” stance on new Disney imagery.
No prioritisation of rules (what to compromise if constraints clash).

F. Audio Identity Readiness — 1/5

Why 1?

Audio is only discussed in terms of music rights, not sonic identity:
Page on “Use of Disney Music” covers clearance with Disney’s sub-publisher/label, fan-use only music libraries, and costs to partners.
No description of what Disney Destinations should sound like (music style, VO qualities, atmosphere).

Gaps / vagueness

No sonic logo, no brand music palette, no VO casting/intonation guidance.
No guidance for audio in channels like radio, podcasts, IVR, on-site audio prompts or Reels/TikTok beyond rights.

G. Audio Rules (must-do / must-not-do) — 4/5

Why 4?

Clear mustDo/mustNotDo for music:
Any Disney music use on social or other platforms must be cleared with the sub-publisher/label and paid for by the partner.
On-platform libraries (Instagram, TikTok) are royalty-free for fans only, not trade partners.
UGC containing Disney music can only be reshared if the music is cleared or removed and replaced, with Disney approval.
UGC / hosted trip rules constrain audio indirectly by banning profanities and governing in-park audio use.

Gaps / vagueness

Rules cover licensing and legality, not creative qualities (volume, pace, emotional tone).
No VO script or narration rules beyond naming of destinations.

H. Channel / Context Guidance — 4/5

Why 4?

Region: explicitly UK & Ireland–specific; if creative is for other markets, partners must ask for relevant guidelines.
Detailed sections per channel/context:
Print & digital imagery: resolution, cropping, iconic images for web banners.
Social media: naming rules, hashtag use, approval requirements, removal obligations, best practice (relevance, concise copy).
UGC & hosted trips: what counts as UGC, consent, what cannot be filmed, device restrictions, music restrictions.
Blogging & vlogging: test for editorial vs marketing, PR-team notification for influencer/editorial visits and announcements.
Digital properties: URL/handle rules (no Disney terms in domains/subdomains/usernames; Disney IP only after the domain label).

Gaps / vagueness

Channel guidance focuses on compliance, not creative templates (e.g., what a best-practice Facebook ad or email layout looks like).
No funnel-stage nuance (awareness vs offer vs post-booking servicing).

I. Audience / Archetype Readiness — 1/5

Why 1?

The document is B2B (travel trade) facing; audience is implicitly “UK & Ireland travel partners and their customers.”
Occasional references to “your audience” and “misleading customers,” but no segmentation or personas.

Gaps / vagueness

No defined end-guest archetypes (families with young kids, adults, cruisers, etc.) or trade partner types.
No rules on how messaging or visuals flex by audience, life stage, budget, or experience familiarity.

J. Canonical Examples (good/bad, annotated) — 4/5

Why 4?

Many pages show side-by-side correct vs incorrect executions, including:
Characters as sales people vs characters simply present.
Black Friday promotions with/without characters.
Repeated vs single character images on a page.
Cropped vs uncropped characters and ships.
Correct vs incorrect logo prominence and sizing relative to partner logo.
Mickey icon used on generic copy vs used as an offer bubble.
Partner logos “preferred partner” vs “official partner.”
Map usage with vs without overlays.

Gaps / vagueness

Examples are visual, with minimal written rationales explaining which rule is being breached.
Examples are not tagged by channel, IP, or rule ID, so manual annotation is required for Brand Brain training.

K. Structure & Extractability (for graph / API) — 5/5

Why 5?

Very clear, modular structure:
Major sections: Approval Process, Characters, Imagery, Logos, Design Elements, Content, Social & Digital, Other Key Brands, Nomenclature, Legal Properties, plus recap.
Within each section, repeating patterns of bullets and DO/DO NOT examples.
Nomenclature and copyright sections are already in list form ideal for structured extraction (park names, attractions, dining, hotels, cruise venues, copyrights).
The “REMEMBER – DO / DO NOT” page acts as a handy global rule summary.

Gaps / vagueness

No explicit IDs for rules or entities (e.g. “VIS-CHAR-001”), so IDs must be assigned during ingestion.
Some approvals and processes (“ask your Disney Marketing Contact”) are human-only, not machine-codified workflows.

L. Safety / Compliance Coverage — 5/5

Why 5?

Very strong compliance focus throughout:
Mandatory approval processes and timelines; all materials must be approved and approvals are one-off use only.
Tight control over social media use of IP, removal on request within 24 hours, and prohibition of misleading or early publication of offers.
Detailed rules on UGC, consent, Cast Member content, and editorial independence.
Strict naming, URL, and search advertising rules.
Extensive, franchise-specific copyright statements, including multi-brand combinations and Toy Story Land third-party IP.
Explicit prohibition of AI-generated Disney imagery or AI adjustments.

Gaps / vagueness

No explicit guidance on data privacy, children’s data, or user data (likely handled in separate legal docs).
No direct mention of generative text/LLMs (which you’ll need to layer on top).

M. Overall Brand Brain Readiness — 3/5

Why 3?

Very strong on:
Hard rules (visual, verbal, IP and legal).
Nomenclature and copyright.
Channel- and context-specific compliance.
Weak on:
Brand fundamentals (purpose, personality, promise).
Verbal tone-of-voice and audio identity.
Audience archetypes and creative playbooks.
This is an excellent foundation for a “compliance and asset-usage Brand Brain”, but not yet enough for a fully creative, generative Brand Brain that writes nuanced copy or designs net-new visual directions.

2. Executive summary (≤10 bullets)

The Brand Book is laser-focused on IP protection and compliance, not on brand storytelling or creative strategy.
Visual and character-usage rules are highly detailed, including strict prohibitions on modification, cropping, sales association, AI images, and logo misuse.
Verbal guidance is mostly lexical and legal (nomenclature, trademarks, puns to avoid), with very little about tone, style, or narrative voice.
Audio appears only as music-rights guidance; there is no sonic identity or creative direction for audio.
Channel coverage is good for social, UGC, hosted trips, blogging, digital properties and web imagery, but framed through approvals and restrictions rather than creative best practice.
Audience segmentation is effectively absent; the primary audience is “trade partners” with no codified guest archetypes.
Canonical examples (good/bad layouts) are plentiful and useful but not annotated with rule IDs, channel tags or rationales.
Structure, lists and nomenclature tables make the document highly extractable into a rule graph and naming APIs.
Safety/compliance coverage is exceptionally strong, including strict bans on AI-generated Disney imagery and detailed copyright recipes.
Overall, the document can support a v1 Brand Brain focused on rule-checking, approvals support, nomenclature and safe asset usage, but needs additional brand, tone, audio and audience layers for creative generation.

3. Prioritised gap list (what to add/change before building the Brand Brain)

Priority 1 – Define Disney Destinations brand purpose & personality

Area: Brand identity clarity
Gap: No concise articulation of what Disney Destinations stands for (beyond “quality entertainment”) or how it should feel to guests and partners.
Suggested action: Add a short brand platform: purpose, promise, key proof points and 3–5 personality traits that can be converted into BrandIdentityTokens.

Priority 2 – Create a verbal tone-of-voice framework

Area: Verbal identity & rules
Gap: Rules cover what you can’t say but not how to say things when you’re on-brand.
Suggested action: Define tone dimensions (e.g. Wonder vs Practical, Formal vs Casual, Playful vs Reassuring) with sliders, example lines, and channel nuances (brochure, web, social, email, call scripts).

Priority 3 – Extend audio identity beyond music licensing

Area: Audio identity and rules
Gap: No guidance on music style, VO, or sound design—only permissions and fees.
Suggested action: Specify high-level sonic mood (e.g. orchestral/hopeful, not harsh or aggressive), VO qualities (age range, warmth, clarity), and mustDo/mustNotDo rules for audio in ads, social video, podcasts and on-site content, while still respecting music rights constraints.

Priority 4 – Define guest archetypes / use contexts

Area: Audience readiness
Gap: No guest personas or trade-partner types to drive personalisation.
Suggested action: Introduce a small set of archetypes (e.g. “First-time families”, “Adult Disney fans”, “Cruise explorers”, “Seasoned park-goers”) with sensitivities and messaging/imagery guidance for each.

Priority 5 – Turn rules into a central, structured rulebook

Area: Content guidelines & extractability
Gap: Rules are scattered and mixed between narrative text and visuals.
Suggested action: Compile a single “Rules Index” with each rule as a discrete object: ID, scope (visual/verbal/audio/social/legal), mustDo/mustNotDo, example, and related sections.

Priority 6 – Clarify AI policy for text and design tools

Area: Safety/compliance for LLM usage
Gap: Only imagery AI is explicitly banned; nothing about generative text or automated layout recommendation.
Suggested action: Add an AI section clarifying what Brand Brain / LLM tools may do (e.g. suggest copy that is then reviewed; suggest which approved image to use) and what they may not do (e.g. invent new attractions, alter legal, fabricate offers).

Priority 7 – Provide channel-specific creative patterns

Area: Channel/context guidance
Gap: Compliance per channel is clear, but creative structures (e.g. recommended social post anatomy or typical brochure spread layouts) are missing.
Suggested action: For key channels (social, web, email, brochure, banner), provide annotated “gold standard” examples with copy hierarchy, image placement, and do/don’t lists.

Priority 8 – More explicit “positive” examples of on-brand copy

Area: Canonical examples & verbal identity
Gap: We see many don’ts and visuals, but few examples of great copy that balances magic, clarity, and compliance.
Suggested action: Add example headlines, body copy and CTAs that are fully compliant (correct nomenclature, no puns, clear and concise) and demonstrate desired tone.

4. Immediately extractable elements

VerbalIdentityToken candidates

Implicit brand quality statement: Disney name is “synonymous with the highest quality entertainment” and must protect brand integrity worldwide.
AVATAR brand characterisation: “aspirational, cutting edge, empowering, innovative and inspirational… not preachy, righteous, exclusionary, typical, expected or religious.”
MARVEL brand promise: “Epic storytelling with a human spirit” + values “heroism, relatability, intensity, complexity, openness, levity.”
Star Wars™ brand promise: “A galaxy of epic adventures, self-discovery, and the power of hope,” and value set (balance of light/dark, empowerment, exploration, hope and humanity).
Social copy guidance: “The more relevant your content is to your audience, the more they’ll engage with it. Keep your copy concise.”

These can be modelled as high-level verbal identity descriptors for each franchise.

VisualIdentityToken candidates

From character, imagery, logo and design sections:

Character presentation rules:
May only appear as in-park / on-ship photography (not animation) and in relevant environments.
Cannot be sales people, cannot interact with offers or prices, cannot be dressed as other characters, cannot be repeated on a page, and cannot be cropped or flipped if it reverses elements.
Photography tokens:
Source: must be from disneymagikit.com; no non-Disney visuals (except approved UGC in specific contexts).
Constraints: no text over characters or key properties; no montages; no distortion/stretch; limited cropping with approval.
Logo tokens:
Each of: Disneyland® Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disney Cruise Line with:
- Minimum width 25mm.
- Specific clear-space rules (based on “y”, “W”, or “D” letter height).
- Preferred colour version and acceptable white/black variants.
- Global rule: Disney logo ≈ 25% smaller than partner logo; must not be repeated or altered.
Design elements:
Typography: “Use your own standard fonts… Under no circumstances should the ‘Walt’ font be used anywhere other than in our logos.”
Mickey three-circle icon: may be resized/angled and used decoratively or as bullets, but never for sales messaging or holding offer text; cannot be connected to AVATAR/MARVEL/Star Wars content.
Pixie dust: Disney-created only; used sparingly as decoration alongside Disney IP, but never with AVATAR/MARVEL/Star Wars, Toy Story, The Twilight Zone® or for offers.
Maps: must be reproduced large and legible; cannot be altered, overlaid, or montaged.
AI token:
Hard constraint: “no AI generated Disney images or AI generated adjustments to existing Disney images are permitted.”

AudioIdentityToken candidates

Music usage rules for any platform:
Disney music (including in-park audio and songs) must be cleared with Disney’s sub-publisher/label at partner cost.
Platform music libraries (e.g. Instagram, TikTok) are royalty-free for fan-use only, not trade promotion.
UGC containing Disney music must either have music cleared or replaced with alternative music before partners re-share, with Disney approval.

These can be encoded as AudioRule tokens even though creative audio identity is absent.

ContentGuideline (mustDo / mustNotDo) candidates

(Each can be an individual ContentGuideline with mustDo or mustNotDo flag.)

Characters
MustNotDo: use characters as sales people, or have them refer to offers/prices/products/services.
MustNotDo: repeat the same character image on a page or spread (with narrowly defined exceptions).
MustNotDo: crop characters, park icons, ships, or merchandise.
MustNotDo: show characters dressed as other characters or in unrelated costumes (e.g. seasonal overlays that aren’t official assets).
Imagery
MustDo: use only Disney-approved assets from MagiKit; ensure images are in-date for the project’s shelf life.
MustNotDo: distort, stretch, or make montages of Disney images.
MustDo: avoid real guns or weapons (only clearly toy-like items are acceptable).
Logos and partner branding
MustDo: show partner logo as primary, with Disney logo ~25% smaller, clearly indicating the partner is the seller.
MustNotDo: describe as “official partner”; must use “preferred partner” if needed.
MustNotDo: angle, distort, recolour or repeat Disney logos; must respect clear space and minimum size.
Design elements
MustNotDo: use the “Walt” font for anything other than official logos.
MustNotDo: use the Mickey icon or pixie dust around offers or sales messages, or in AVATAR/MARVEL/Star Wars contexts.
MustNotDo: use castle icons incorrectly (must use the right castle for Disneyland® Paris vs Walt Disney World Resort).
Social & digital
MustDo: use official Disney hashtags when provided; never create new hashtags using Disney trademarks.
MustNotDo: include Disney words in social handles/usernames or domains/subdomains.
MustDo: feature the full park/destination name (with correct trademarks) in supporting copy.

Channel contexts
Print (brochures, press ads).
Web (pages, banners, leaderboards, skyscrapers).
Social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.).
UGC/Influencer/editorial trips.
Blogs/vlogs and YouTube.
Digital properties: domains, subdomains, vanity URLs, search ads.

    "brand_identity_clarity": "The Brand Book frames Disney Destinations as high-quality entertainment whose brand equity must be protected, and emphasises the breadth and scope of the Disney experience. It also provides short brand descriptions and value sets for AVATAR, MARVEL and Star Wars. However, it does not define a clear purpose, promise or personality for Disney Destinations itself, nor a competitive positioning or simple brand archetype, so identity is implied rather than codified.",
    "verbal_identity_readiness": "Verbal guidance focuses mainly on legal and lexical issues: using correct nomenclature and trademarks, avoiding puns and demeaning phrases, and following social media naming and hashtag rules. There are light tone hints such as keeping copy concise and relevant, and franchise-specific value descriptors, but there is no formal tone-of-voice framework, no overarching voice traits and no clear channel-specific tone guidance.",
    "verbal_rules": "The document is rich in must-do and must-not-do rules for words. It tightly defines how names of parks, lands, attractions, hotels, dining, cruise venues and events must be written, how trademarks and registered marks appear, and how characters and brands may be referred to. It prohibits phrases like 'official partner', disallows puns and demeaning uses of characters, sets social hashtag and handle rules, and distinguishes marketing vs editorial blogging. These are all highly extractable into structured verbal rules, though they are spread across multiple sections rather than centralised.",
    "visual_identity_readiness": "The guidelines provide detailed instructions on how to present Disney Characters, imagery, logos, maps and some supporting design elements. They cover character photography only, relevant story contexts, logo versions and clear space, and how to use Mickey icons, pixie dust and castle icons. They explicitly ban AI-generated Disney images and adjustments. However, they do not offer a full design system for partners (no shared palette, grid, or typographic hierarchy), focusing instead on how to correctly overlay Disney assets on each partner's own brand.",
    "visual_rules": "There are comprehensive visual rules: characters cannot be sales people, repeated, cropped, modified or shown out of context; imagery must come from approved sources, cannot be distorted or montaged and cannot have text over characters or castles; maps cannot be altered or overlapped with images; logos have strict size, colour and clear-space rules; Mickey icon, pixie dust and castle icons have narrow use cases; and AI imagery is forbidden. Many of these rules are illustrated with good/bad examples, making them ideal candidates for mustDo/mustNotDo constraints.",
    "audio_identity_readiness": "Audio is treated purely as a rights issue. A single section outlines how use of Disney music must be licensed and paid for, and that on-platform Disney music libraries are for fan use only. There is no description of a sonic logo, preferred music styles, voiceover attributes, or how Disney Destinations should sound across channels. As a result, there is effectively no audio identity for a Brand Brain to encode.",
    "audio_rules": "The guidelines provide clear rules around music usage: any Disney music in social or other content must be cleared with Disney's music partners at the trade partner's cost; library tracks on social platforms cannot be used by partners for promotion; and UGC with Disney music must be cleared or have the music removed and replaced before reposting. UGC and hosted-trip rules indirectly constrain audio (e.g. banning profanities in soundtracks). However, there are no creative audio rules around tone, VO style or mix, so the audio rules are mostly legal and licensing related.",
    "channel_context_guidance": "The document is explicitly for UK & Ireland and directs partners to seek alternative guidelines for other markets. It offers clear guidance for web imagery, social media, UGC, hosted trips, blogging/vlogging, and digital properties (domains, handles, search terms). Each channel has its own constraints, approval requirements and prohibitions. What is missing are channel-specific creative patterns (recommended post structures, email layouts, etc.) and nuance by funnel stage or campaign objective.",
    "audience_archetype_readiness": "Audience definitions are minimal. The book implicitly addresses UK & Ireland travel partners and their guests, with some references to not misleading customers and making content relevant to your audience. It does not define guest personas, partner archetypes, or journey stages, and offers no guidance on how copy or visuals should flex for different guest types, budgets or familiarity with Disney. This limits its usefulness for personalisation.",
    "canonical_examples": "Across characters, imagery, logos, maps, Mickey icon usage and partner representation, the Brand Book includes many visual good vs bad examples that demonstrate correct and incorrect application of rules. These are strong canonical examples of compliant vs non-compliant executions. However, they are rarely annotated with the reasoning behind each decision, nor tagged with channel or rule IDs, so additional metadata will need to be added during Brand Brain ingestion.",
    "structure_extractability": "The Brand Book is well organised into major sections (Approval, Characters, Imagery, Logos, Design Elements, Content, Social & Digital, Other Key Brands, Nomenclature, Legal) with clear headings and bullet lists. Nomenclature and copyright sections are essentially structured data. There is a recap 'REMEMBER' page listing global DO and DO NOT rules. This makes it straightforward to map into a graph or API model, although IDs for rules and entities will need to be invented and approval workflows are currently described only in natural language.",
    "safety_compliance_coverage": "Safety and compliance considerations are deeply embedded: everything requires approval, social content is tightly controlled with removal requirements, UGC and editorial relationships are regulated, domains and handles cannot use Disney trademarks, and music usage has strict licensing conditions. Legal nomenclature and copyright instructions are extremely specific, including multi-brand ordering and Toy Story Land third-party IP. AI-generated Disney imagery is explicitly prohibited. This makes the document a strong foundation for a compliance-aware Brand Brain.",
    "overall_brand_brain_readiness": "As a machine-readable ruleset for IP use, nomenclature, approvals and compliance, the Brand Book is very mature. It offers extensive visual and verbal mustDo/mustNotDo guidance and highly structured naming and copyright data. However, it does not provide Disney Destinations brand fundamentals, tone-of-voice, audio identity, or audience archetypes, limiting its usefulness for creative generation. The Brand Brain can confidently support rule checking, asset selection and safe naming, but requires additional layers for creative voice and personalisation."
