Standards Manual: Research

These images come from the idenity manual the Communications team has been working on for the Solar Decathelon project. This is an earlier version, as our logo has since changed. I chose to include this example because it is an example of a concise manual. The following from STAR Data Services is about 30 pages and gets very in depth. The explain the width of the letterforms in the logotype and specific methods to scaling. The third image actually has a table showing where, when, and how the logo is acceptable to use. It is set up quite nicely, especially in the title pages. This, however, gets lost in the mass amount of text that follows.


The intentions for my Graphic Standards Manual will fall somewhere in between the utterly simplistic and overly elaborate. I want to reflect sophisticated style with an artistic feel.
