About

Compiled from archival documents spanning 1969–79, Brand Identification Manuals for Coca-Cola explores a period in the company’s branding history that spans prolific advertising campaigns to a deep focus on modernist design systems. Most notably, the introduction of the Coca-Cola “Arden Square,” which exists as a global brand identifier to this day. Each manual in this compilation displays usage guidelines around logos, typography, packaging, color, and ephemera.
