Style guide advice for Logos please

[Moominbaby]

Hi I am just wondering if some one could give me a few pointers I am trying to make up some style guides to logos I have already created. I had a meeting with an art director and he made a suggestion of making some style guides to go with my logos (most of the time I have just created the logo and the client messes up the rest :icon_tongue_smilie:)
So I would really like some suggestions on what to include
I have made one up with one of the first logos I made.
What have I missed or done wrong ?
Any advice would be most welcome

Thankyou

Off the top of my head, I'd consider making reference to (but wouldn't necessarily include all of - depends on the situation) the following:

1. Minimum legible size
2. Advice to not alter relative dimensions (i.e. stretch/squeeze)
3. Rules for superimposing over images
4. Using appropriate image resolution
5. Including an additional, license free supporting font (for documents - prob. Arial in this case)

I'd also make sure I'm not breaking my own 'clear space' rule on p1 (?). Oh - and 'border' - not 'boarder'.

Right thanks! will do and yes don't break my own rules! ha will change and add bits then repost
Yes the over images is a great idea as it was for a photographers
Right I'm on it!
Thanks

I saw this from Todd Motto in my twitter feed a while ago and thought it was a great idea. It's basically a guide/examples showing how a logo will be displayed on various social networking sites as a thumbnail or avatar. It could be worthwhile to include something like this to help keep a brand consistant across digital media and show that you're thinking a little further afield when it comes to a clients needs?

Very useful, thanks Paul. I have to do the same for our brands soon so that is spot on.

[Moominbaby]

Thanks Paul that great maybe something to expand upon on my next logo.
So I made some changes and add some of the surgestions

Don't thank me, thank Todd (and I'm guessing the rest of the team at Smash Six)

I think your colour values are mixed up, aren't they?

[Moominbaby]

Oh yes silly me! too much time looking at the computer is obviously melting my brain :)
