Mahony, Karen and Gower, Andrew (1991): The Development of a Visual Style for a BT X Window System Toolkit. In: Diaper, Dan and Hammond, Nick (eds.) Proceedings of the Sixth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VI August 20-23, 1991, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. pp. 265-279.

“This paper describes the work done in developing the visual style for a BT X Windows system graphical user interface toolkit. The approach to this design was innovative because it involved a team which had training in both graphical information and industrial design, in addition to more conventional human factors/HCI experience. This had a considerable impact on working methods, several of which were drawn from traditional design practice. The two principle design aims were to improve usability and convey an appropriate product identity and corporate image. These were achieved by appropriate and consistent representation and rendering of interactors in a range of states.”
