How do you prioritise spend between the logo and its applications?

Spend goes first to the piece the customer sees when deciding: sign, menu or listing, not to a logo that only lives in a PDF. A mark with no application does not change the door. Sort by date: what is printed or hung before opening or before the season. That gets made; the rest waits. The budget goes on an animated logo and the menu on the table is still a Word file. The guest never sees the spend. The minimum pack is mark, colour, type and the first real application, menu or sign. The usage sheet comes out with that piece, not later.
