This manual is our team’s visual playbook, providing the cation and an effective guidelines necessary to reach our goal of clear communication and an effective brand image. brand image.

When producing materials on behalf of the City of Ankeny, please follow the standards provided in this guide. The brand must be consistent throughout all materials in order to preserve its validity. The enclosed standards of type, form, and color all contribute to stronger brand recognition.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the City of Ankeny identity. As a highly visible entity, it is essential to portray a consistent image across all visual platforms. From outdoor signage to the City’s stationery, certain guidelines always need to be followed in order to achieve this goal. As it is impossible to foresee and discuss every single application of the identity, please expand upon the principles and guidelines that are being established throughout this manual, and contact the Public Relations Offi ce with questions or for clarifi cation.

ANKENY MISSION & VISION A mission statement describes the overall purpose of the organization, while the vision statement focuses on the reward that lies at the end of the roadmap described in the mission statement. Values showcase the toolbox of qualities that allow an organization to fulfi ll its mission and achieve its vision.

The Ankeny City Council has determined the City’s mission, vision and value statements. Below are the offi cial statements approved for use:

Mission: The City’s mission is to provide high quality municipal services, excellent customer service and sound fi scal management. We engage our community, producing a greater quality of life and are advocates for Ankeny, protecting the community’s interests.

Vision: ANKENY 2022 has a small hometown feel and great community spirit.

ANKENY residents enjoy a safe community, an active lifestyle, easy movement and access to the area.

ANKENY is an environmentally sensitive and sustainable city with a vibrant town center and is a regional business center.

ANKENY – bringing it all together.

PAGE 2 CITY OF ANKENY GRAPHIC STANDARDS PREPARED: JUNE 2009

Ankeny residents have many positive impressions about their community. When asked, they describe a sense of belonging, an ability to make a difference through participation in many city/civic organizations and activities, a place for businesses to make a difference, an exceptional quality of life, and reference many examples of community pride. These diverse attri- butes converge in the brand promise of Ankeny and are duly represented in the tagline: Bringing it all together. The tagline embodies the efforts of the City to provide thoughtful planning for growth, as well as the quality of life amenities that are all accessible in one, singular community.

LOGO The logo further reinforces these attributes: a col- lection of cooperative forces that create the whole. Its multi-colored palette and multi-sectioned nature suggest several different areas working in concert with one another for the greater good, to create a more meaningful image.

Those who view the logo for the fi rst time will likely interpret it differently — some see the “geography” of the area represented; others see complementing pieces forming a singular shape; and others see an “A” represented. All of these reactions are valid. Residents will assign their own expla- nations for what makes sense to them. And over time, they will begin to discover new meanings that enrich their under- standing of all the City has to offer.

The rough lines give the mark energy, cutting through the area to defi ne these areas while creating an abstract letter “A.” The mark is housed within a hard-edged box, in contrast to the line work, in order to give it a more uniform and fi nished ap- pearance on its perimeter.

The red color is predominant in order to best punctuate the energy throughout the Ankeny community and the strides that it is making now and will continue to make as it progresses forward. The blue and green colors complement in that they don’t defi ne the palette as a warm palette or a cool palette. The three colors work together to be comprehensive but are subtle enough in tone that they don’t suggest a “rainbow.”

The typefaces used in the logo are more classic in form, providing an appropriate contrast with the abstract nature of the visual mark that the type is paired with. This helps make the mark more timeless – providing a logo that can grow with the community and not be dated within a matter of years.

NOMENCLATURE

Nomenclature: a system of names assigned to objects or items in a particular group.

TAGLINE The tagline expresses how the City wants to be perceived by both internal and external audiences. The tagline is often com- bined with the logo for even greater impact. The tagline can be used with the logo or seperately.

Below are two examples of how the tagline could be used graphically:

TAGLINE USED WITHIN LOGO TAGLINE USED ALONE - BACK OF BUSINESS CARD -

SECTION I PAGE 3 CITY OF ANKENY GRAPHIC STANDARDS PREPARED: JUNE 2009

LOGOS FULL-COLOR, WITH “CITY OF” (3- OR 4-COLOR)

The preferred logo choice for most applications is the full-color version, which is available in both 3- and 4-colors. The logo may be reversed out of a solid background color, preferrably red.

FULL-COLOR, WITHOUT “CITY OF” (3- OR 4-COLOR) Versions also exist both with and without the words “city of” incorporated into the logo. When a communication is sent to a third party outside of Ankeny, the “city of” version should always be used. Internal communications may use the version without the “city of” tag on it. FULL-COLOR, STACKED (3- OR 4-COLOR)

Community partners (not the City of Ankeny) will always use the logo without the “city of” tag. The full logo should not be used at a size smaller than 1.5” wide.

USAGE EXAMPLES City Stationery products ...... Use “City of” version Materials partnered with Chamber ...... Use without “city of” Joint event with Ankeny Schools ...... Use without “city of” City email tag ...... Use “City of” version Print ad for Fire Prevention Week ...... Use “City of” version (see Fire Dept section for more info)

TAGLINE USAGE The logo MAY be used without the tagline when appropriate.

PATCH & ANKENY BRAND USAGE

Within the city, there are several division/departments that utilize their own logo that is also familiar to the public. SInce the department is under the umbrella of city services, the individual logos are considered secondary identifi ers within the City branding efforts.

When a secondary identifi er needs to be linked to the City logo, the secondary identifi er must be far enough apart so as not to appear grouped. The City logo must be placed prominently at the top or bottom of the piece on the cover or front, where it isn’t overshadowed by other elements. When color becomes an issue, utilize the department logo in color and the City brand logo in black & white or reverse white.

Contact Public Relations to determine appropriate use of department names or secondary identifi ers with the City logo.

ANKENY POLICE REMIND YOUNGSTERS TO BE SAFE AND BE SEEN THIS HALLOWEEN

Contact: Captain Arnie Porath Ankeny Police Department 515.289.5240 [email protected]  ANKENY, Iowa (October 19, 2009)– The City of Ankeny’s Beggar’s Night is Friday, October 30 between the hours of 6 – 8 p.m. Although every attempt is made to keep sidewalks and streets safe, it is important for both parents and drivers to use extra caution during this annual event. In fact, children are four times more likely to be hit by a vehicle on Halloween than any other night of the year.

Here are some basic safety tips that will make everyone safer: • Designate an adult to accompany children at all times and designate a return time • Remind children to stop and assure it is safe before crossing the street • Carry a flashlight to allow your child to see and be seen • Children should never go into a residence unless the parents know the residents • Children should wear light colored costumes; if that is not possible, reflective wrist and ankle bands are a good alternative • Apply face paint instead of wearing a mask to make sure vision is not obstructed • Purchased or handmade costumes should be flame retardant • If unable to accompany them, know the area they will be going and provide a cell phone in case of emergencies • Parents should examine all items before children consume them and make sure they are all commercially made (vs. homemade or items appearing to be tampered with).

For residents who will be distributing goodies, please light up your front door area indicating “beggars” are welcome. Be sure the sidewalk or path to the door is clear of debris or plants that might impair their walking.

For more information about safety, contact the Ankeny Police Department at 289-5240.

Like the original logo, the new logo makes use of the familiar ott er. But it’s a much more contemporary icon; one that denotes the future while staying true to the past. As with a growing and progressive commu- nity, there’s more to the mark than initi ally meets the eye. The iconic ott er is now intertwined with three stalks of nati ve grasses as he peers from a hilltop. The stalks of undulati ng grass represent the natural ele- ments of the new golf course. The ott er perched on a hill symbolizes the historic traditi ons of the past with a nod toward the future.

LOGOS

The preferred logo choice for most applicati ons is the full-color ver- sion, which is available in both Otter Creek 3-color and 4-color. Golf Course

Versions exist both with “Ott er Creek Golf Course” and without 4-COLOR/3-COLOR LOGO incorporated into the logo. Ap- (WITH NAME) plicati ons for an external audi- ence will use the logo with name. The graphic element without text should be used sparingly and on items that are used within the golf course or internal audiences.

Another approved graphic use is just the tall grass stalk, as shown. This will be used on clothing and throughout the Pro Shop and Tin Cup Bar & Grille. The color should be PANTONE 1545C or 30% of that color. 4-COLOR/3-COLOR LOGO 1-COLOR (WITHOUT NAME) TALL GRASS STALK

CASCADE FALLS “Cascade Falls” was inspired by the architectural elements of the bath house and the signature water features of the aquatic center. The word “Cascade” conveys a sense of water moving, fl owing or descending over steep, rocky surfaces. “Falls” denotes a destination or place to escape, as well as a sense of moving water. The color palette is understated and complements the Prairie Trail aesthetic. The swish suggests a sense of water in motion. The font refl ects the Arts & Crafts style architecture of the bath house.

LOGOS

The preferred logo choice for most ap- plications is the full-color version, which is available in both 3-color and 4-color.

Versions exist both with “Aquatic Center” and without Aquatic Center incorpo- rated into the logo. Applications for an external audience will use the logo with 4-COLOR / 3-COLOR LOGO name. The graphic element without text (WITH AQUATIC CENTER) should be used sparingly and on items that are used within the facility or inter- nal audiences.

Another approved graphic use is just the double swish, as shown. The swish can remain horizontal or rotated at an angle. This should also be used sparingly and is to be only used for graphic elements and documents that imply connection with the original logo. 4-COLOR / 3-COLOR LOGO (WITHOUT AQUATIC CENTER)

How can we purchase? What is the rate? A: Season passes will be promoted in the upcoming Parks & Recreation Fall/Winter Program Guide. Passes can be purchased beginning December 1 at the Parks & Recreation OfÀ ce, 210 South Ankeny Blvd. Passes for individuals will be $80; a family of 2 will be $115 and $25 will be charged for each additional person. For example a season pass for a family of four will cost $165 for residents. Non-resident fees will also be offered. In general, non residents will pay an additional 40-50% more than residents. A single person non-resident season pass will be $120; a two-person non-resident household season pass will be $155 and $35 for each additional person living in the household.

Q: Is the season pass good for both Cascade Falls and the Prairie Ridge Aquatic Center? A: Yes, the season pass is good for both aquatic facilities.

Q: Are toddlers free on the season pass? A: They are not. Cascade Falls and Prairie Ridge both provide amenities that young children and toddlers will enjoy. While not all daily admission fees have been established yet, we have determined that children 2-years old and younger will be charged $2/visit. Depending on the number of visits, some visitors might À nd paying the daily fee each time for a toddler more cost effective.

Q: 5. Are there alternatives to a season pass? A:Yes. There will be a punch pass developed good at both facilities that will be a 10/9 or 6/5 variety. In other words, ten visits for the price of nine or six visits for the price of À ve.

Q: Will the babysitter/nanny be allowed on the season pass? A: The pass is for those residing in the home that are in the same family. The babysitter or nanny will need to pay the daily fee or have their own season pass.

Q. Why is there a non-resident fee? A: Those that do not live within the Ankeny School District Boundary pay an additional fee to account for the fact that they do not pay property taxes in Ankeny. This “fair share” policy is in place to insure that those coming from outside the community, while welcomed, pay their fair share.

Q: When will daily admission fees be announced? A: Daily admission fees, swimming lessons, and other applicable aquatic fees will be announced in early 2010.

Q: Will I be able to reserve Cascade Falls for a birthday party or other event? A: Yes, absolutely. More information on how to do this will be forthcoming in early 2010.

PARTNER LOGO USAGE

In many cases, logos from other partner organizations may be used within our materials. If independent brand standards are received for these logos (i.e. Prairie Trail), please adhere to them where applicable. Otherwise, the City logo and partner logo(s) should be relatively the same size and in line to one another. Depending on the application, a one-color option would be preferable as to not introduce a large number of colors; however, it would still be within the standards to utilize the color version of both.

When requesting graphic fi les from organizations, please request the “eps” (encapsilated post script) version for the best result in print. For digital or web usage, a jpg will be the preferred format. If possible, also ask for their brand standards.

TYPES OF GRAPHICS: BITMAP VS. VECTOR

The preferred format to use is “vector” (eps), which produces the cleanest reproduction quality possible. This format is created in a graphics program and can then be used for any type of reproduction from print to web. However, the most fequent use of the brand graphics outside of the Public Relations offi ce will be in Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. For this reason, compatible fi le formats (mainly jpeg fi les) of the artwork can be found on the server at \\S-scrooge\all staff resources\Images.

Bitmap format *:

All scanned images are bitmaps. All images from digital cameras are bitmap. Bitmap images (also known as raster images) are made up of pixels on a grid. Pixels are picture elements; tiny dots of individual color that make up what you see on your screen. All these tiny dots of color come together to form the images you see.

Common fi les types of bitmap formats are: Popular bitmap editing programs • bmp • Microsoft Paint • gif • Adobe Photoshop • jpeg, jpg • Corel Photo-Paint • png • tiff • psd

Bitmap images are resolution dependent. Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image and is usually stated as “dpi” (dots per inch) or “ppi” (pixels per inch). Because bitmaps are resolution dependent, it’s diffi cult to increase or decrease their size without sacrifi cing a degree of image quality. When you reduce the size of a bitmap image through software’s resample of resize command, you must throw away pixels. When you increase the size of a bitmap image, new pixels have to be created.

CORRECT USAGE OF BITMAP DPI INCORRECT USAGE OF BITMAP DPI

PAGE 48 CITY OF ANKENY GRAPHIC STANDARDS PREPARED: JUNE 2009

TYPES OF GRAPHICS: BITMAP VS. VECTOR

Vector format *:

Vector images are made up of many individual, scalable objects. These objects are defi ned by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the higheast quality. Objects may consist of lines, curves, and shapes with editible attributes such as color, fi ll and outline. Changing the attributes of a vector object does not affect the object itself. You can freely change any number of object attributes without destroying the basic object. An object can be modifi ed not only by changing its attributes, but also by shaping and transforming it.

Because they’re scalable, vector-based images are resolution independent. You can increase and decrease the size of vector images to any degree and your lines remain crisp and sharp, both on screen and in print.

Fonts are a type of vector object.

Another advantage of vector images is that they’re not restricted to a rectangular shape like bitmaps. Vector images can be placed over other objects, and the object below will show through transparently.

VECTOR LOGO BITMAP LOGO (keeps clipping path) (does not retain clipping path)

Vector images primarily originate from software. You can’t scan an image and save it as a vector fi le without using special conversion software. On the other hand, vector images can, quite easily, be converted to bitmaps. This process is called rasterizing. When you convert a vector image to a bitmap, you can specify the output resolution of the fi nal bitmap for whatever size you need. Once it has been converted to a bitmap, the image loses all the wonderful qualities it has in its vector state. If you convert a vector to a bitmap at a size of 100 x 100 pixels and then decide you need the image to be larger, you’ll need to go back to the original vector fi le and export the image again.

The most common reason for wanting to convert a vector image to a bitmap would be for use on the web. Due to the nature of vector images, they are best converted to GIF and PNG for use on the web.

Common fi les types of vector formats are: Popular vector editing programs • ai (Adobe Illustrator) • Adobe Illustrator • eps • Corel Draw • cdr (Corel Draw) • Macromedia Freehand • dxf (AutoCAD) • wmf (Windows Metafi le)
