for IBrandBiz it’s the right move.

When you can skip Firebase

If templates are static and ship with the app (hard-coded JSON + bundled SVGs), and you rarely add/update them.

Why Firebase is best here (you’re multi-tenant + growing)

Admin adds templates without redeploys.

Versioning and rollbacks (v1, v2 of same template).

CDN URLs for images/SVGs via Firebase Storage.

Search/filter (tags, industry) via Firestore queries.

Clean RBAC: admins write; users read.

Recommended storage layout
Firestore (metadata)

collections/templates/{templateId}

{
  "id": "scales-of-justice-v1",
  "name": "Scales of Justice",
  "description": "Law emblem with scales",
  "tags": ["modern","emblem","law"],
  "version": 1,
  "status": "active",                // active | draft | archived
  "assets": {
    "svgUrl": "gs://.../templates/scales-of-justice/v1/art.svg",
    "previewPngUrl": "gs://.../templates/scales-of-justice/v1/preview.png"
  },
  "geometry": {

Firebase Storage (binary assets)
/templates/{slug}/v{n}/art.svg
/templates/{slug}/v{n}/preview.png


(Optionally add /thumb@2x.png for sharper admin previews.)

UI flow (Admin page → Designer)

Admin Upload

Upload SVG → Storage.

Generate preview PNG (client canvas or a Cloud Function).

Store Firestore doc with: assets, geometry (positions/rotations/curve), defaults, tags, version.

Logo Designer (user)

Query Firestore for templates (status=='active', tags).

Load assets.previewPngUrl underlay.

Apply template’s geometry as starting state.

User edits text, rotation sliders (and later curve slider), fonts (Designer page only).

Save user’s design as:

users/{uid}/designs/{designId} with references to templateId + overrides, or

a server-generated export (PNG/SVG/PDF) stored back to Storage.

IDs & “Template ID” field

In Admin UI, collect Name/Description only.

Auto-generate id (kebab-case) from name: scales-of-justice-v1.

Expose an “Advanced → Override ID” toggle if you want manual control.

Security rules (high level)

Storage:

templates/**: read: public; write: admins only.

Firestore:

templates: read: public (or authenticated); write/update/delete: admins.

users/{uid}/designs: read/write: owner.

Nice-to-haves

Cloud Function: on SVG upload, rasterize to preview PNG and write back previewPngUrl.

Algolia (optional): index templates for fast fuzzy search.

Cache-Control headers on Storage files for CDN performance.

Bottom line

For your scale and workflow, yes—store templates in Firebase: Firestore for metadata + Storage for assets.
