Are there exhaustive examples of brand.yml definition and testing to take inspiration from?

Description

I am currently experimenting with the new brand.yml feature in a Quarto template project for my lab. I was able to define the key branding elements and try them out in a sample document. The latter was simple (similar to the company guidelines translation samples) and therefore not very exhaustive, so the branding elements may need further tweaking.

The next step would be to check the branding on a more exhaustive project, showcasing the resulting branding on multiple document types like HTML website, dashboard, presentation and typst PDF, perhaps including Shiny charts in Python and R. I was wondering whether the community knows of similar efforts of branding definitions, which I could take inspiration of.

Cheers.

You can search on GitHub for those pretty easily: https://github.com/search?q=path%3A%22%2F_brand.yml%22&type=code

You need to answer that question yourself.

Very helpful

I don't know if you meant something particular with that, but just in case, I don't have any opinions on that and because it's not really about "brand.yml" but about theming/styling, opinions do not really matter especially when it's companies/universities theming.

It was more of a tongue-in-cheek reaction of my part. I wish I had as much experience as you do to be able to answer my own questions about Quarto. Sadly I don't, hence why I am seeking help for more senior members of the community. I apologize in case my intent was misinterpreted.

That's not what my request is about though. Amongst those 80 hits in the GitHub search, most did not go farther than writing the definition and using it somewhere else. What I am after are those results where the author went the extra mile to test the resulting branding on a wider range of Quarto documents.

Sorry if my request was not explained precisely enough.

Your question is basically a "web research question" about what is available out there.
It's not about experience with Quarto at all. I did not gather any information on brand.yml and I don't believe anyone did, so to address your question you have to do that yourself. This is what I meant with "You need to answer that question yourself.".
Note that you already, at least partially, did that already it appears: "Amongst those 80 hits in the GitHub search, most did not go farther than writing the definition and using it somewhere else.".

I am also thinking perhaps some branding definitions are not shared through GitHub, but maybe an institutional GitLab instance.
