It seems to me that color was an important factor (if you go to the link you’ll even see a band named “Three Blue & One Yellow”). They’re all so coordinated with their matching wardrobes. Plus interesting logo treatments (see bottom photo). See more here and here.

Another great piece by Maira Kalman in her column "And the Pursuit of Happiness". I've mentioned it before, but I couldn't resist posting this illustration regarding Justice Ginsburg. See the entire article here.
