Thanks for Visiting
The B69D Archive of Concise Visual Communication is a collection of images documenting examples of trademarks, pictograms, glyphs, flags and other notorious symbols and graphic devices. Also included are notable examples of trade dress (including product packaging and vehicle liveries), and broader examples of branding strategies.

Raison d'Être
Humans have long devised and promulgated symbols, signs, and emblems to communicate ideas, and the art and science of concise visual communication has developed and progressed through many phases and disciplines. Ancient conventions in heraldry, vexillology, typography and cartography began humanity's endeavor to exchange information in more elegant (and visually-oriented) ways. Contemporary ideas in trademark design, wayfinding signage, icon/app design, and branding represent the latest developments in this field. The B69D Archive is born of an appreciation for these forms of communication, and of a desire to study them. This image collection is for the enjoyment and enlightenment of anyone with similar interests.
