RapidRide is the newest member of the King County Metro brand family of transportation services. The RapidRide brand was developed as a unique identity within this family, and at the same time maintains a very strong relationship with the overall King County Metro brand.

The RapidRide brand was developed to present a powerful and distinctive communication platform to the public and RapidRide customers. Maintaining a consistent brand image is critical, as this brand conveys the outstanding service and quality of RapidRide, in addition to the quality, value and service our customers know and expect from King County Metro. Every interaction and communication with the public is an opportunity to extend and promote not just the RapidRide brand, but King County Metro as well.

This manual is intended to guide you in presenting and maintaining the RapidRide brand. It is also a tool to aid in the development of marketing and communications materials that introduce the brand to the public to ensure that all communications meet the high standards set by King County Metro.

1-1 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

There are three attributes that form the basis of the RapidRide brand; Simple, Frequent, and the Best of Metro. All elements of the RapidRide brand should reflect these attributes. Maps and other information should be clear and easy to understand. Print and online material should be free from clutter and excessive or unnecessary information.

The look is streamlined and crisp, and always clean.

1-2 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

RapidRide Trademark

RapidRide is the official name of King County Metro's bus service. There are two approved graphic arrangements for the RapidRide trademark. Both are shown here. The single-line version is preferred, but the two-line version can be used in instances where readability and space consideration will be better served by this arrangement. Minimum size for both arrangements of the trademark are also shown here. To maintain legibility, the size should not be reduced beyond the minimums shown.

spacing In printed documents, RapidRide appears as between equal one word with two capital R's. The RapidRide to small cap stroke width name can stand alone in text: RapidRide will serve five busy transportation corridors in King County. Try RapidRide today! It can highlight distinctive features: RapidRide buses, RapidRide stations, RapidRide service, RapidRide A-line.

Printed information should note clearly that RapidRide is a King County Metro Transit service. For example, King County Metro Transit launched its RapidRide service this month. .75” Metro's RapidRide buses are easy to see with their distinctive red color scheme and streamlined features.

Don't change the spelling or form of RapidRide, such as RapidRiding, RapidRide’s or RapidRides. Also, do not insert a hyphen between Rapid .5” and Ride (unless it breaks between two lines in a document).

1-3 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

RapidRide Color Palette

The dominant color in the RapidRide palette is Pantone 7427.

Colors appear differently on monitors and when PANTONE® PANTONE® output from different printers, so always match 7427 C 7427 U according to the Pantone number rather than a visual comparison.

PROCESS: C7, M100, Y67, K31

RGB: R150, G23, B46

HTML: 96172E

Metro Yellow or black may be used in addition to Pantone 7427 as long as the RapidRide red remains dominant. PANTONE® PANTONE® 1235 C 109 U

1-6 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

Color

The RapidRide trademark should appear whenever possible in black or Pantone 7427. An exception would be in the case of a 1-color printed piece where neither black nor Pantone 7427 is used. In this instance, the color should provide enough contrast with the background that the legibility of the RapidRide trademark is not impaired.

The trademark may appear in white if reversed out of a background dark enough to provide sufficient contrast.

1-7 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

Reversed and Contrast Considerations

The RapidRide trademark, whether stacked or single-line, may be reversed out of a background, provided there is sufficient contrast to ensure legibility.

Be aware of busy backgrounds in photos, or areas that are too light for the mark to be clearly read. If a background is too light in color or value, the logo should appear in black or Pantone 7427 if the design allows.

1-8 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

Incorrect Use

The RapidRide trademark is a design element catch your bus and should never be treated as words in a sentence.

The proportions of the letters may not be altered.

The trademark may not be used in arrangements other than the two approved alternatives specified on page 1-3.

The trademark may not be separated into words used independently.

In order to maintain the integrity of the RapidRide trademark, it must not be reversed out of a background that impairs legibility in any way, such as lacking sufficient contrast.

1-9 King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

The trademark may not be stretched or condensed. Proper proportions must be maintained.

Other fonts may not be substituted in the trademark.

The trademark should not be used over an image or pattern that decreases legibility.

The trademark should appear as one solid color. Do not add additional color to individual letters or part of the name.

The trademark should not be rotated, flipped or skewed.

The RapidRide trademark is a stand-alone element. No design elements may be added to the trademark.

RapidRide System Guide

The system guide cover is simple and clean. It is the only brochure in the King County Metro family that is red. Red should not be used as a timetable color for other Metro services.

Lines are indicated by the corresponding letter in a circle as shown below, or if needed, reversed as shown on the guide cover.

The letters are always in the Metro font, which Feb. 1 thru Sept. 1, 2010 is Humanist 777. The Bold weight is used for the line indicators.

Web Applications

For online applications such as Service Frequency Charts, RapidRide would be spelled out in the same font and size as the rest of the chart. It should appear in the listing before all other Metro routes. Do not put the text that applies to RapidRide in red, as that typically denotes links already visited.

On pages that are set up like the online timetables, a RapidRide logo may be used at the top of the schedule, in the position the route number currently holds. This may require an additional template for the RapidRide pages. The rest of the schedule information should appear as it does currently.

Operator Uniforms

For application to operator uniforms and clothing, the RapidRide trademark appears in 3.5” thread matching Pantone 186 and at a consistent size of 3.5”. The thread color is in keeping with the King County Metro design standards.

The trademark should always appear on the right sleeve, just above the cuff for short-sleeved shirts, and chest-pocket level for long-sleeved shirts and jackets.

There must be sufficient contrast between the trademark and the uniform to ensure legibility.

Drivers may also wear the RapidRide button shown below. It should be worn on the right side shirt collar.

Introduction

The success or failure of a sign program depends on how well the information is organized. The signage hierarchy represents the basis for the rational organization of information, which is to be displayed on the signs. The basic hierarchy of identification, directional, information, and regulator signs must not be altered. Also, the content of different sign types must never be intermixed. King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

Classification

Type A - Identification Signage Identification signs name the destination near which they are located and must be consistent with the language used on the directional signs, which direct them. They typically contain the names of places, functions, logos, and other means of identification. They always occur at the actual destination and never contain arrows. Although it might seem easy to simply add a message and an arrow to the bottom of this type of sign, it will confuse the public and the typology will become corrupted.

Type B - Directional Signage Directional signs point out the path to be taken. They do this with a combination of text, symbols, or arrows arranged in a logical hierarchy of messages based on what the user needs most at the particular point. They generally occur along the pathway at points of decision or at points along the path for reinforcement. They should not contain advertising, commercial messages, logos, or other elements which do not direct. The user can easily recognize this sign type because it is the only which contains arrows.

Type C - Informational Signage Information signs are used to communicate more complex, textural, diagrammatic, or map information and are an essential counterpart to the basic directional signs. They may contain instructions for use, video monitors with touch-screens, maps, diagrams, or other similar information, which must be studied before being used by the traveler. This characteristic usually limits their location to points along the path of circulation, but not in the actual path.

Type D - Regulatory Signage This type of sign includes detailed text related to rules and regulation for the use of the bus zone and may include prohibitive activities, no smoking regulations, and the like which directly regulate the area. Care should be taken to not place this sign type anywhere in the zone, but rather locate each message as discreetly as possible while remaining near the point the traveler needs to know the information.

NOTE: Not all sign classifications are used at the time this design package was created. However if implemented this system shall be used. King County Metro Graphic Standards and Guidelines

Colors

Graphics for signage have been specified by two manufacturers. Colors and applications for all graphics shall use PPG as the paint manufacturer and 3M Scotchal films as the PPG - Red 3M Scotchal vinyl manufacturer. Before use reference FDGH 708720 Translucent Vinyl appropriate manufacturer’s specifications for application and longevity. Custom to Match PANTONE® 7427 C
