why is 8 the set number of pages ?

72, now thats anal! are you going to just compress their logo by a mm just for the hell of it?

haha. i'm going to change the color of the red in their logo just to see if they'll really notice.
72 is definetly anal.

HP guidelines is over 300 pages, fuck man just finding the Pantone references is an arse. It's still sitting on my desk in the "must read pile"
Wierd thing is that they are beautifully flexible :)

almost. maybe the first 10 were on the colors, sizes, uses in different medias (ie, logo on top with text below on the business card, logo on the side, text on side for the web) and so on.
then maybe 60 on what not to do in about every fucking scenario possible and where not to put in.
no shit. it said "not to be placed within 5 pixels of any other logo" ok. count em.
