In putting the finishing touches on its symbolic representation program for the Montréal Games, the Organising Committee chose its official colors: blue, grey, green, orange, yellow, mauve, and magenta. Red remained the main official color of the Games, while the seven others were used for various purposes, such as the designation of different departments or services. While completing the Graphics Manual, the Graphics and Design Directorate also had to plan many different things and study or commission a host of other projects. It was also involved in important immediate tasks, such as the design of official stationery, forms, report binders, brochures, etc.
