- updated version of the Web color palette (jpg)
- unofficial templates (suggested starting points for customization)
- content recommendations (some good points here)
- resources (they list and link to us–COM–directly here. Cool!)
Interesting that the new A&M web style guide came out the same day as an article called 10 things a web designer would never tell you. Note particularly #6: enforce style guides to the letter, and the link to the article illustrating its point.
While remembering what comes with great power, it sounds like responsible designers should treat branding guides like the pirate code—more what you’d call guidelines than actual rules.
Hmmm. So you must be a pirate for the pirate code to apply. How should that relate to a style guide?
