        The corporate design is focused on the effective presentation 
3f76ed
        of corporate messages. As corporate messages we understand all
3f76ed
        the information emitted from the organization; and when we say
3f76ed
        <emphasis>all</emphasis> we mean everything that can be
3f76ed
        perceived through the human senses. The corporate design takes
3f76ed
        care of defining what this information is and controlling the
3f76ed
        way it goes out the organization producing it.

        When the organization doesn't take control over the corporate
de4714
        messages it produces, the organization is letting that area of
de4714
        its identity to the unknown and the results might be good or
de4714
        not so good, it is hard to know.  The issue to see here is
de4714
        that even the organization doesn't take control over its
de4714
        corporate messages, they are always talking about the
de4714
        organization.  Taking control of corporate messages is a
de4714
        decition the organization needs to take by itself, based on
de4714
        its need of better describe what it is.

        In the very specific case of &TC;;, we'll concentrate our
3f76ed
        attention on corporate messages that reach us through the
3f76ed
        visual sense. This is, all the visual manifestations &TC;; is
3f76ed
        made of. As visual manifestaions we understand all the visible
de4714
        media &TC;; uses to manifest its existence on.  At this point
de4714
        it is necessary to consider what &TC;; is, what its mission is
de4714
        and what it is producing. This, in order to identify which
de4714
        visual manifestations the organization is demanding attention
de4714
        of corporate design for.

        The visual manifestations identified above seem to cover most

        media required by &TC;;, as organization, to show its
de4714
        existence.  However, other visual manifestations could be
de4714
        added in the future, as long as they be needed, to cover
de4714
        different areas like stands, buildings, offices, road
de4714
        transportation or whaterver visual manifestation &TC;;

        Once all visual manifestations have been identified and
3f76ed
        defined through design models, it is time to visually remark
3f76ed
        their connection with &TC;;.  This kind of connection is
3f76ed
        realized by applying &TC;; to design models inside visual
de4714
        manifestations supported through corporate design.
