How to Build a Brand Asset Management Dashboard

Brand asset management is a challenge every growing organization faces. Logos scattered across Google Drive, color hex codes buried in Slack threads, font files on random team members' laptops — it is chaos.

A brand asset management (BAM) dashboard solves this by centralizing all brand assets in one place. In this guide, we will build one using Next.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.

Database Schema

model BrandAsset {
  id          String   @id @default(cuid())
  name        String
  type        String   @default("image")
  category    String   @default("logo")
  fileUrl     String
  fileSize    Int
  format      String
  tags        String[]
  version     Int      @default(1)
  teamId      String
  downloadCount Int    @default(0)
  createdAt   DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt   DateTime @updatedAt
}

model ColorPalette {
  id        String @id @default(cuid())
  name      String
  hex       String
  rgb       String?
  usage     String @default("primary")
  brandId   String
}

model BrandGuideline {
  id        String   @id @default(cuid())
  title     String
  content   String
  version   Int      @default(1)
  published Boolean  @default(false)
  updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
}

Asset Grid Component

function AssetGrid({ assets, onSelect }: { assets: BrandAsset[]; onSelect: (asset: BrandAsset) => void }) {
  return (
    <div className="grid grid-cols-4 gap-4">
      {assets.map(asset => (
        <div key={asset.id} onClick={() => onSelect(asset)} className="group cursor-pointer rounded-xl bg-gray-900 overflow-hidden border border-gray-800 hover:border-brand-500/50 transition-all">
          <div className="aspect-square bg-gradient-to-br from-gray-800 to-gray-700 flex items-center justify-center">
            {asset.type === 'image' ? (
              <FileImage className="h-8 w-8 text-gray-500" />
            ) : asset.type === 'vector' ? (
              <Pen className="h-8 w-8 text-gray-500" />
            ) : (
              <File className="h-8 w-8 text-gray-500" />
            )}
          </div>
          <div className="p-3">
            <p className="text-sm font-medium text-white truncate">{asset.name}</p>
            <div className="flex items-center justify-between mt-1">
              <span className="text-xs text-gray-500 uppercase">{asset.format}</span>
              <span className="text-xs text-gray-500">{asset.downloadCount} downloads</span>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

Color Palette Display

function ColorPalette({ colors }: { colors: ColorPalette[] }) {
  return (
    <div className="space-y-3">
      {colors.map(color => (
        <div key={color.id} className="flex items-center gap-3 rounded-lg bg-gray-900 p-3">
          <div className="h-10 w-10 rounded-lg border border-gray-700" style={{ backgroundColor: color.hex }} />
          <div>
            <p className="text-sm font-medium text-white capitalize">{color.usage}</p>
            <p className="text-xs text-gray-400 font-mono">{color.hex}</p>
          </div>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
