Coca Cola Because of the incredible legacy of passion and devotion to art and design that Frank Pick brought to the London Underground, the visual identity for this entity has, since its earliest years, encompassed not only the signs, icons, and posters of the enterprise, but also every aspect of its stations and trains. With a deep intentional commitment to the modern, post modern and emerging contemporary aesthetics, the London Underground is one of the most recognizable and emulated visual identities throughout GB, Europe, and beyond. Barrett House Shelter Today The Larkin Company A corporation's visual identity is more than just a logo or a single graphic element. The visual identity often addresses a full range of visual collateral in order to more thoroughly bring a cohesiveness to all visual rhetoric that supports the corporate brand.

The house served an average of 15 to 20 women and children per day. Today the Barrett House Shelter serves more than 300 homeless women and children each year, providing an average of 22,000 meals, 7,000 bed nights, and over 1,000 hours of case management a year. 3 housing programs provide transitional housing and case management for 18 families.

Hershey Chocolate Company Edward Johnston Chanel's visual identity is entirely focused on luxury and encompasses every aspect of its enterprise from its more accessible mid-high range product line of fragrances and accessories, to its couture house and high end jewelry lines. The CC logo of Chanel, as well as the corporate name, itself is a clear presence in its visual identity. As one of the longest running houses of fashion design, Chanel has gone to great efforts to assure the integrity of its visual identity throughout its development and periods of growth. One of the most important aspects of the visual identity of Hershey is its universal accessibility. Hershey's product line has grown immensely over the years. The Hershey visual identity has transcended its products to encompass many additional items similar in diversity, if not scale as the Disney Corporation. THE HERSHEY COMPANY: an intrinsic part of American culture and visual rhetoric across generations The Corporate Visual Identity 1908: Frank Pick placed in charge of publicity: created space for Tube posters and maps and pushed advertisers’ posters into spaces inside stations and on platforms - placing poster design in a privileged position 1916 Pick commissioned Johnston to create an exclusive, patented typeface. Pick's guidelines were a bold but simple and distinctive lettering using historical typography as a model but indisputably 20th century design considered the first modern sans serif face, leading the rest of the 20th century modern and post-modern design.
