Corporate Identity
Logos are an essential part of Corporate Identity. Corporate ID is a system that ensures that the central messages of an organization will be repeated as directed by management.
Generally the Art Director, title may vary, will make certain decisions, such as the logo itself and its variations. These include color and type specifications, allowable substitutions, and general positioning and typographic layout. Typical variations include black and white options, design on the web, and Co-branding.
Co-Branding is used in joint ventures with other organizations.
Media included:
Business Cards
Letterheads
Memoranda
Interior and Exterior Signage
Billboards
Fleet (cars/trucks)
Powerpoint presentations
Brochures
Print Advertising
A logo must look well in all these media, and be reliably and precisely produced.

Poor poor Avril...
Avril Lavigne was recently in Hong Kong for a one-night show. She obviously had help from someone with a magic marker.
The phrase 日本最高 on Ms. Lavigne was correctly written, but for a WRONG country.
日本 = Japan
最 = most, extremely, exceedingly
高 = high, tall; lofty, elevated
It is translated as "Japan is the best".
