INTRODUCTION In February 2011, Hunger Free Colorado completed a formal branding and identity development process that established a strong and consistent foundation upon which to communicate and reflect Hunger Free Colorado’s mission, passion, purpose and commitment to end hunger in Colorado. This graphic standards manual is designed for the benefit of and use by staff, board members, volunteers and partners for Hunger Free Colorado to ensure brand consistency in all communications efforts moving forward. Graphic standards create a uniform visual language that minimizes the need for translation, and ensures that Hunger Free Colorado is consistently recognizable in a variety of media and environments. We have established the standards and approved uses for the Hunger Free Colorado logo. Specifications, such as approved colors for the logo, logo sizing and usage by application are addressed in this manual. The manual also includes standards for Hunger Free Colorado ‘sub-brands’, such as the Sprout Clinic and The Hunger Free Hotline. Strength and consistency in an organization’s look translates into strength and consistency in content ensuring that messages are clearly heard and quickly understood. Standards allow for flexibility while providing a powerful visual shorthand. This manual is designed to be used as a tool in all these endeavors. Standards also assist in reflecting an organization’s brand strategy, message and professional image. In the case of Hunger Free Colorado, our key brand traits are innovative, powerful, effective and compassionate. Many of the final approved elements included in both the organizational logo and the sub-brand logos intentionally serve to reflect these qualities through consistent use of colors, font and spacing. Hunger Free Colorado has begun to establish itself as the only statewide organization dedicated to ending hunger in Colorado by ensuring that all Coloradans have sustainable access to nutritious, affordable food every day where they need it and when they need it. It is important that this guide complement that effort by ensuring that Hunger Free Colorado’s organizational identity and communications is as consistent, clear and strong as the passion behind its mission. This section contains multiple usage guidelines for the Hunger Free Colorado logo. The logo is the visual dis play of our name and is rendered in a specific typeface that is not to be retypeset or recreated in any way. Our logo is the visual point of entry to our brand. Therefore, its consistent use is paramount to its success. Digital artwork for our logo is available upon approval for its use. 2. LOGO Primary © 2011 Hunger Free Colorado Secondary – reverse option 2.1 CLEAR ZONE = Clear Zone This minimum clear space is at least one set of “three peas” height away from the outermost edges of the logo. © 2011 Hunger Free Colorado A minimum amount of clear zone should always surround the logo. This design practice ensures sufficient visibility of our logo. In general, providing additional clear space around the logo will make it more distinct on the page. The clear zone is proportional to the size of the circles which make up the “three peas” as displayed below. 2.3 LOGO MISUSE The following are examples of incorrect usage of Hunger Free Colorado logo. Avoid outlined logo Avoid using logo in non-approved color Avoid backgrounds with no contrast Avoid alterting icon Avoid scaling pieces of logo Avoid stretching logo Avoid breaking apart the elements of the logo Avoid cropping the logo © 2011 Hunger Free Colorado The color palette is a key component that creates an impression that is both memorable and instantly recognizable in the minds of our key audiences. Each color has an equivalent PANTONE®*, CMYK and RGB color formula. 3. COLOR *PANTONE® is a registered trademark of Pantone, Inc. The colors throughout this document may not match PANTONE.
