The client
National Geographic is a Society founded with the purpose of furthering the knowledge and awareness of our world. They are the world’s leading multimedia destination for the best stories in science, exploration and adventure. Nowadays, National Geographic is owned by The Walt Disney Company.

The challenge
Nat Geo needed a practical, educational, and easy-to-use tool that summarized the basic design principles and graphic resources available for creating new off-air products that meet Nat Geo's brand criteria. Flopicco Studio was tasked with interpreting the brand principles and creating this guide.

The Flopicco Studio Approach
The guide we created for Nat Geo follows its principles by being concise but bold, precise but flexible. It summarizes the brand's design principles, from use of the yellow icon and typography to photographic treatment and layout structure. In addition, we have compiled best uses and examples of clean compositions. Here are a few excerpts from the guide.​​​​​​​
