AtDrupalCon event app
Saforian, a web design agency located in Northern Virginia, developed an event app for the upcoming DrupalCon Portland. Our fun, interactive app simplifies the event experience by showing you what’s going on at the conference and the hot spots to check out in Portland, along with making it easy to connect with other Drupal lovers. Not only is the app loaded with useful easy-to-access information but the way it's presented and its user interface are incredibly fun and interactive.

Flyer and booth wall layout files available
To start somewhere, the German association (Drupal-Initiative) has given the existing layouts a makeover (font) and published the files under CC:

Of course, the site's not yet practising what we preach (branding-wise). Any comments on wording and/or layout files are very welcome!
The topics we had to deal with (while designing branding material for trade fair CeBIT 2012) are summarized in a PDF:

Brand Strategy Purpose & Workflow
I would like to propose a workflow for the brand strategy. While I don't want to get bogged down in "talk talk talk" and never do, it's helpful to have a process and a framework of what needs to be done so that it is useful and long-lived.
