7. Clear Channel
Clear Channel’s dominant position in outdoor advertising had
been eroded. To reinvigorate it, we developed three packages
with specific color-codes and identity.
www.thebrandmanual.com
8. These identities are also used as filler space and carry a
double-benefit: the space becomes highly visible and the
icons used are memorable creating spontaneous associations
when potential customers are presented with sales material,
often exclaiming “I’ve seen this before”.
