British Rail : architecture, design and environment : Jacquey Visick : British Railways Board : London : 1989 : cover : Corporate Flexibility - Corporate Stability
An interesting booklet looking at the work of British Rail's Directorate of Architecture, Design & Environment that was led by Jane Priestman. As well as looking at the history and development of the 'new' BR corporate identity of 1965, based around a strict palette of symbol, new Rail Alphabet typeface and colours, the publication gives examples of how this was delivered in practice as well as how, with Sectorisation, it had been adapted for use moving forwards.
This is encapsulated on the cover with "Corporate flexibility and Corporate Stability". The new Intercity swallow motif makes an appearance.
I have scanned a few pages as examples.
