The sun’s turning up the heat today - so here’s a 1973 graphic used to advertise NBC’s holidays abroad by coach (this is from Midland Red’s edition). It demonstrates Norman Wilson’s ‘N-and-shadow’ really well, in the summer sun. #nationalbuscompany #normanwilsondesigner

Leaf green - but which leaf? (Spoiler: none of these is right!) More from my experiments with matching shades of green to both the NBC spec from the Corporate Identity Manual, paint codes, NBC printed diagrams and the shades we know from photographs.
