PBS brand guidelines
PBS presents a single-page brand guide covering core identity elements alongside direct PDF downloads for extended specifications.
Freedam's take — I like the clean, single-page structure PBS chose for its public guidelines. Instead of locking design standards away, the page outlines core elements like logo treatments, color palettes, typography, and imagery direction right in the browser. What catches my eye is how every major section couples clear web documentation with dedicated PDF downloads and asset packs. It keeps the web presentation light while giving production teams deep reference files when they need them.
