NBC Brand Guidelines by Chermayeff & Geismar Associates
LogoArchive's Research Archive Issue 8
Today, in Issue 8 of LogoArchive’s Research Archive, we have some images of the NBC brand guidelines produced by Chermayeff & Geismar, Saul Bass’ work for Celenase and Dentsu’s brand identity for Japan National Railways. Last week on Logo Histories we covered the story of the Expo 70 story (more Expo stories later this year). Next week, Poppy shares the history of Lippincott & Margulies 1964 logo for Eastern Airlines. Subscribe here to receive this straight to your inbox on Tuesday.
