A six-card don't grid of prohibited logo treatments, each crossed out with a red diagonal and a one-line caption.
Summary
A logo misuse page: a 3x2 grid of warm off-white cards, each showing one wrong way to use the mark struck through with a red diagonal line and labeled with a short "Do not" caption.
Visual description
Two-column layout with a short left column headed "Logo Misuse" over intro copy. The right side is a 3-column, 2-row grid of rounded warm off-white cards. Each card holds a single bad treatment of the logo and a single thin red diagonal strike: stretched horizontally/vertically, wordmark or icon used alone, rotated, icon-and-wordmark relationship changed, a drop shadow added, and an outline stroke added. A one-line caption sits beneath each card stating the prohibition. The red strikes read instantly as "no".
Key takeaway
The red-diagonal don't grid: six failure modes shown at a glance, each isolated on its own card with a terse caption. It is the fastest way to communicate "never do this" and is scannable in seconds.
Reuse notes
A staple page for any logo guideline; the six-up grid format is endlessly reusable. Keep captions short and the strikes consistent. Pairs naturally with the color-misuse page later in the deck.
