For Designers
This constantly evolving site serves as a hub for designers to access style guides, templates, and other helpful resources to make brand approved communications.
Introduction
Whether you work here full time or have just been hired to help out on a quick project, if your audience is fellow employees or customers, dealers, or investors, these guides and resources were created to help ensure consistency across your work and that of your fellow designers.
Guidelines
Identity
Color, design, words, and symbols—used creatively, these elements combine to make everything from business cards to buildings recognizable, memorable, and a powerful presentation of our brand.
Our Tenets
Our work is guided by a set of design tenets that represent our point of view on design for products, communications, and everything else we create.
Color
Color is critical part of our brand—can’t beat that immediately recognizable Herman Miller red, right—and we use it to enhance our communications and to inspire our customers.
Typography
At Herman Miller, typography is a critical communication tool. We use it to convey ideas, to organize information, to create clear hierarchies in our messages, and to align our expression across media, geography, and audience.
Principles
The four principles that are necessary in experiences that anyone can access and use must have content that is perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.
