To me, it all depends on where you place About Us in the framework of the whole site-family. If, as you call it, it is merely a section, a new primary navigation would appear to be disorienting. It would also mean, that I expect a constant user flow from and to this section to other sections of the site. If it actually is a sort of corporate microsite, that may even get a URL of its own (to be communicated to the special audience it has), giving it a distinct primary navigation makes sense, because the user-goal is different from the one on the main page. So - what I usually try to keep in mind is the mental modal one builds of the position of the Section within a whole. Simply speaking: - Outside but linked: own primary navigation, but back/crosslinks to the other company sections - Inside but distinct in goal and audience: Same primary navigation but probably a different secondary navigation.
