Lyric theatre style guide 3 Logos Overview

Logos Overview Though it actually represents just a small part of the overall brand platform, the logo is definitely the most recognizable facet. Therefore, it has a much larger set of rules and guidelines to abide by. Lucky for us, Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma has four such logos to manage and maintain. The following pages present each of these logos individually, with visual representation and intelligent usage instructions. You will also find easy-to-reference lists of logo-specific file types, and illustrated examples of common logo Do’s and Don’ts.

This may be surprising to some, but establishing and maintaining brand continuity is not a responsibility that rests solely on the shoulders of the graphic designer. Copywriters, content curators and PR folks have as much to do with brand cohesiveness as anybody. Sometimes more. From content structure to email signatures to the nuances of displaying domain names, the words Lyric uses to describe and represent itself are a vital part of the brand platform.
