This symantec brand guidelines is more about the logo itself. The documents is from 2000, but still – it looks like designed yesterday. I think it’s unuasual that the guideline covers more the logic of designing the symbol / logo, than the usage itself. This is an interesting approach. The PDF is not big – just 20 pages, 245 KB, but it must be seen. Here we meet again the polite and intelligent…

The movie is showing the use of “artboards” – these are like different sheets that you can work on at the same time and also cover each other, so it’s like you are designing on one table ( like in real life ), without loosing sight of the other sheets.. Something familiar as a functionality has already been created in InDesign, but here – it’s more dynamic, intuitive and easy to use. Great for all…
This is Mini E. Only 500 owners will drive the yellow “E” logo. “E” stands for Electricity. I want to share this logo with you for some reasons: It’s new, it’s witty, it’s a classic styled logo ( 2d, simple primitives, etc.), and it’s great. The E is “eaten” from a cirle, showing us a “electric plug” – telling the hole story of this mini model in a simple sign. A yellow one. No way to miss it…
