Corporate Design
The corporate design is focused on the effective communication
of corporate messages. As corporate messages we understand all
the information emitted from the organization; and when we say
all we mean everything that can be
perceived through the human senses. The corporate design takes
care of defining what this information is and controlling the
way it goes out the organization producing it.
When the organization doesn't take control over the corporate
messages it produces, the organization is letting that area to
the unknown and the results might be good or not so good, it
is hard to know. The issue to see here is that even the
organization doesn't take control over its corporate messages,
they are always talking about the organization. Taking
control of corporate messages is a decition the organization
needs to take by itslef, based on its need of better describe
what it is.
In the very specific case of &TCP;, we'll concentrate our
attention on corporate messages that reach us through the
visual sense. This is, all the visual manifestations &TCP; is
made of. As visual manifestaions we understand all the visible
media &TCP; uses to manifest its existence. At this point it
necessary to consider what &TCP; is, what its mission is and
what it is producing; this in order to define which are the
visual manifestation demanding attention of corporate design.
Inside &TCP; we identify and apply corporate design to the
following visual manifestations:
&TCD; — This visual manifestation exists to cover
all actions related to artwork production and rebranding
required by &TCP; in order to comply with its
upstream's redistribution guidelines. This visual
manifestation is described in .
&TCW; — This visual manifestation exists to cover
all actions related to artwork production required by
&TCP; to manifest its existence in the World Wide Web
medium. This visual manifestation is described in .
&TCS; — This visual manifestation exists to cover
all actions related to artwork production required by
&TCP; to manifest its existence through media produced
industrially (e.g., stationery, clothes, CDs, DVDs, etc.).
This visual manifestation is described in .
The visual manifestations above seem to cover most media
required by &TCP; as organization, to show its existence.
However, other visual manifestations could be added in the
future, as long as they be needed, to cover different areas
like stands, building, offices, road transportation or
whaterver visual manifestation &TCP; thouches to show its
existence.
Once all visual manifestations have been identified and
defined through design models, it is time to visually remark
their connection with &TCP;. This kind of connection is
realized by applying &TCB; to design models inside visual
manifestation supported through corporate design.
