1. OFFICE HOLIDAY PARTY
BRAND GUIDELINES
Office holiday parties can be tense, awkward,
and regretful affairs. But the good news is
they’re pretty much all the same. So we have
created these highly generic brand guidelines
as a compass to help you successfully plan and
execute your 2012 company party.

Your attire should be similar to what you normally wear at the office, but with a
hint of holiday cheer. In advertising, this means wearing lots and lots of black, with
possible accents of candy red, cheerful green, or festive grey.
