Corporate Identity Specification Documentation
In general, the corporate identity amounts to a logo and supporting devices commonly assembled within a set of guidelines. These guidelines govern how the identity is applied and confirm approved colour palettes, typefaces, page layouts and other such methods of maintaining visual continuity and brand recognition across all physical manifestations of the brand, regardless of which company designs the material.

Corporate identity needs to be managed on a structural basis, to be internalised by the employees and to harmonise with future organisational developments. Guidelines, procedures and tools can be summarized as the structural aspects of managing the corporate visual identity by setting up a Corporate Indentity Specification document.
