Does anyone know capitalization rules for Spanish?

Paul Davidson

I'm working on logo and ad guidelines for a cargo company, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out on capitalization norms for Spanish.

I'm referring specifically to slogans, by-lines, department names, that sort of thing. I know that English usually capitalizes all words except pronouns and short prepositions; French capitalizes only the first word. How about Espa

From what i know (I'm a native spanish speaker, but not an expert in the field), in titles (of books, documents, etc.) only the first word is capitalized (first names excepted, of course). The same should apply for slogans and such things.

Thanks, Kemie! It's what I suspected.
