Stuff that's heavily reliant on text, mostly. So we'll try to use logo marks that are identifiable as the brand instead of using the full place's name.


Sounds like adapting rules for mediæval heraldry might be useful for y'all. Shields & livery, after all, were meant to be clearly visible from a distance, in poor conditions, while the viewers were in psychological distress.
