Companies usually have guidlines for their branding and marketing to have a cohesive look for the outward audiance, including a data visualization style guide. These style guides help create a uniform look and feel to all the charts and tables for reporting.
Recently the Medium published an article by Amy Cesal of twenty-four data visualization style guide examples. These examples included non-profits, like Sunlight Foundation and Urban Institute; government, like Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; for-profit organizations, like IBM; and journalism, like BBC.
Places I worked in the private sector, non-profit, and government had manuals and guidelines, but some were missing data visualization style guides. If your organization does not have one already, I would look at these twenty-four examples for ideas on where to get started on your own.
