Today, in Issue 13 of Logo Histories’ Research Archive I’ve pulled together some bits and pieces from the Tokyo and Sapporo Olympic brand guidelines, and some assets from the M.A.N Utility Division identity. Scroll to the foot to get a preview of next week’s Logo Histories, it’s colourful!
Research Archive is a quick look at some of the materials I’ve picked up to build Logo Histories stories.
