Comment: "Well - I went all around the houses on this one. What the client wanted in the end, it turned out, was 'graphic identity' - which I understand to be pretty similar to 'graphic theme'. It was actually open to a very wide interpretation within the context, I decided - depending on one's past experience of such things. Thanks!"

the graphics
one taks of "website graphics"
normally a "charte graphique" would be a "style guide" but that doesn't work here

graphic style, style guide
This usually refers to a style guide, i.e. all the rules governing the style of marketing and PR materials (font, type size, colors, etc), but "graphic style" might work better here.

it's "graphics charter"
we went through this with a client - it's the cahier des charges for graphics that defines things like 'no other objects within 3 cm of the brand logo', the tier-system for powerpoint presentations, etc etc.
