Brand Identity Guidelines Brand Identity Guidelines May 2017 A Message from the City Manager The City of San Marcos has experienced significant growth and change over the last few decades. As such, city leadership felt compelled to review the identity and principles that have made San Marcos great to ensure that these attributes are aligned with the bright future of this community. To do this, we embarked on a comprehensive identity project to better define who we are, what we do and why we do it. We looked at our current reality, existing perceptions and our aspirations for the future. The result of this intensive, research-based process provided the city with an identity, narrative, tagline and visual elements (logo, colors, typography) that exemplify what San Marcos is and strives to be. All of these elements are outlined and explained in this brand identity guidelines manual. The city’s new expression of its brand identity will soon become our face to the world, so it is essential that it be used correctly and consistently – from business cards to vehicle decals to publications. By doing so, we help solidify our brand in the minds of visitors, residents and businesses. This manual provides guidance for logo, color, typography and design usage. Your full cooperation and support of these guidelines are appreciated. As always, the office of communications is available to answer any questions you may have about brand implementation. Thank you for your support of this important initiative.

A community identity helps audiences distinguish us from other cities and is built on the foundation of community experiences, perceptions and aspirations of residences, visitors and businesses. A successful identity must be accurate, deliver on its brand promise, and provide a consistent experience with every encounter. An identity is more than just a logo or a tagline. It is who the city is at its core – what, why and how it provides projects, programs and services to its various stakeholders. While the city’s identity is so much more than its logo, this element – along with other visual communication elements – remain key to effectively communicating the city’s brand. Graphic standards allow the many city departments and organizations to come together as a unified whole before the community and region – one voice, one brand, one city. This document outline the policies, procedures and graphic standards that must be followed in order to achieve a unified and consistent visual identity program for the City of San Marcos. This includes the correct use of the city logo, seal and city color palette in a variety of applications including letterhead, forms, signage, vehicles, promotional items and publications. City of San Marcos | INTRODUCTION 1.1 Goals • Attract and grow business in San Marcos with a fresh identity that resonates with its assets. • Reflect San Marcos’ variety of activities and vibrancy with residents that care so much about maintaining its beauty, culture and overall freshness. • Present a comprehensive design scheme that reaffirms the city’s corporate identity, enhances its image within the community and region, and defines its unique position in relation to other world-class cities. City of San Marcos | INTRODUCTION 1.2 Consistency How we communicate as an organization is as important as what we communicate. Simply put, standards are what put the identity in graphic identity. They enable an organization to maintain its distinctive look and feel in any situation. As a visible and easily recognizable organization, it is essential to portray a consistent image across all visual platforms. When producing materials on behalf of the City of San Marcos, follow the standards provided in this guide. These guidelines are our team’s visual playbook, providing the guidelines necessary to reach our goal of clear communication and an effective brand image. The brand must be consistent throughout all materials, internally and externally, in order to preserve its validity. Consistent application of the logos, city colors, typography and supporting layouts are vital to strengthening the city’s brand identity and brand recognition. By using its graphic elements consistently and judiciously, the City of San Marcos continues to distinguish itself from other cities while maintaining a positive image for the community. As it is impossible to foresee and discuss every application of the San Marcos brand throughout these guidelines, please contact the Communications Office with any questions or for clarification. The Brand Identity Guidelines are located on the city’s Intranet, http://smc-intranet/index.aspx?page=154 . City of San Marcos | INTRODUCTION 1.3 The San Marcos Brand City of San Marcos | THE SAN MARCOS BRAND 2.0 Brand Platform and Tagline The city’s brand platform defines the core elements of who we are, what we do and why we do it. It is an internal facing tool that should guide messaging across the organization and to the public, but is not necessarily language that would be presented directly to the public. San Marcos Brand Platform San Marcos is a diverse, vibrant community in northern San Diego County uncovering its potential as a business and entertainment center while celebrating its natural beauty and stronghold as an education hub, in order to create a balanced community for everyone who calls it home. San Marcos Tagline Discover Life’s Possibilities City of San Marcos | THE SAN MARCOS BRAND 2.1 Logo The new logo is intended to capture the spirit of the San Marcos community in a way that resonates with residents and is attractive to businesses and visitors while complementing the city’s existing city seal. By incorporating a stylized compass rose within the “SAN MARCOS” type, the design borrows from the city’s existing color palette and the aesthetics found in the updated city website and refreshed San Marcos 360 magazine. Inspired by San Marcos landscapes, the four brightly colored quadrants within the mark speak to the vibrant and diverse aspects of the San Marcos community. The classic directional symbol immediately communicates exploration and discovery in a succinct but fresh way while paying tribute to the city’s motto, “Valley of Discovery.” The introduction of a warm orange color for the tagline type “DISCOVER LIFE’S POSSIBILITIES” also ties into the Innovate 78 campaign’s selection of orange to represent San Marcos within the region. City of San Marcos | THE SAN MARCOS BRAND 2.2 Minimum Clear Space Always surround the City of San Marcos logo by the amount of clear space specified. The clear space specifications help to maintain integrity and presence when logos are placed in proximity to competing visual elements. Do not position text, graphic elements or other logos within the recommended clear space. 1/2 A 1/2 A A 1/2 A 1/2 A City of San Marcos | THE SAN MARCOS BRAND 2.3 Color Palette The City of San Marcos color palette consists of two primary colors and five secondary colors inspired by the natural beauty of San Marcos.

THE GRAPHIE LATINE MOVEMENT AND THE FRENCH TYPOGRAPHY MANUEL SESMA PRIETO Associate professor, Facultad de Bellas Artes, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Introduction Most works dealing with the history of typography, many of Anglo-Saxon authors, reflect the period covered by the two decades after World War II practically dominated by neogrotesque typefaces. However, there were some reactions against this predominance, mainly from traditionalist positions that are rarely studied. The main objective of this research is thus to reveal the particular case of France, where there was widespread opposition to linear typefaces, which results into different manifestations in the field of national typography. This research wants therefore to situate the French typographical thought (which partially reflected the traditionalism of British typographical reformism led by Stanley Morison 1) within the history of European typography, and in a context dominated by the modern proposals arising mainly from Switzerland. This French thought is mostly shown in a considerable number of articles published in various specialist and professional press media, which perfectly reflected the general French atmosphere.

  • Hebrew Type Design in the Context of the Book Art Movement and New
    Philipp Messner Hebrew Type Design in the Context of the Book Art Movement and New Typography "New Book Art" ("Neue Buchkunst") was the motto under which efforts were made, in the spirit of the English Arts and Crafts Movement, toward the revival of book and type design in turn-of-the-twentieth­ century Germany. This revival movement perceived itself as a reaction to the country's accelerated industrialization, especially since the founding of the Reich in 1871. The replacement of traditional craft by increasingly industrial production lines effected a variety of everyday consumer products, including the manufacturing of books. According to contemporary commentators this led to deterioration in the material and aesthetic quality of books. Similarly to other industrially manufactured products around the turn of the century, an expectation emerged for books to have a contemporary, functional, and materially sound form. This demand encompassed all aspects of the book, including printing types. Consequently, visual artists were now engaged to design typefaces. Early examples were still heavily influenced by Art Nouveau, but after World War I there was a turn to historical forms with a bias toward handwritten scripts. This was influenced largely by the English calligrapher and type designer Edward Johnston, who taught at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. His calligraphic method, which he based on old handwriting forms, became famous in Germany, in part thanks to the work of his pupil and translator, Anna Simons. Type design issues thus received a notably traditional treatment, defined above all by intensive engagement with historical forms. This tendency largely defined the personal styles of Franzisca Baruch and Henri Friedlaender.

  • Brand Safety Policy
    BRAND SAFETY POLICY National Media Group, a division of Meredith Corporation, creates brands focused on providing you with destinations you can trust and rely on for every stage of your life to connect you to great content, products, and services, and, based on your engagement with us, customize your experience with us. Our mission is to be clear and transparent. That includes our Brand Safety policies and Brand suitability, as well as the controls we offer the consumers of our content and our advertisers. What is Brand Safety? ● TAG defines “Brand Safety” as the controls that companies in the digital advertising supply chain use to protect brands against negative impacts on consumer opinion associated with specific types of content and/or related loss of return on investment. Defining Brand Safety Vs. Brand Suitability per IAB ● Brand Safety solutions enable a brand to avoid content that is generally considered to be inappropriate for any advertising, and unfit for publisher monetization regardless of the advertisement or brand. This is where the 4A’s Brand Safety Floor categorization and IAB’s taxonomy classifications come into play. ○ For example, content that contains hate speech directed at a protected class would be inappropriate for any advertising. Likewise, content that promotes or glamorizes the consumption of illegal drugs would be inappropriate for any advertising. ● Brand Suitability solutions enable a brand to determine content for an individual advertiser’s goals. Brand Suitability solutions can either: a) help a brand to avoid content that is specifically inappropriate for its unique sensitivities and values but may be appropriate for another brand, or b) allow content that is aligned with a brand based on its context, sentiment, tone, creative messaging, and other qualifying factors.

  • Brand and Advertising Awareness: a Replication and Extension of a Known Empirical Generalisation
    Brand and Advertising Awareness Brand and Advertising Awareness: A Replication and Extension of a Known Empirical Generalisation Jenni Romaniuk, Byron Sharp, Samantha Paech & Carl Driesener Abstract From analysis of over 39 categories Laurent, Kapferer and Roussel (1995) found that top of mind, spontaneous and aided brand awareness measures have the same underlying structure. The difference in scores appears due to the difficulty of the measure. We have successfully replicated this work and extended it to similarly structured advertising awareness measures. However, additional analyses then revealed that while there is a good category level fit, modelling a single brand over time is less successful. Indeed, Laurent et al.’s excellent cross-sectional fit appears due to substantially different levels of salience between larger and smaller brands. This suggests that while the different types of awareness tend to vary with a brand’s overall level of salience, this does not mean that the different measures simply reflect a single underlying construct. Further, our finding challenges the previous authors’ claim that knowing the score for one measure allows the estimation of the score for another measure. Instead, the model provides useful norms against which to compare actual scores. Keywords: Brand awareness, Advertising awareness, Empirical generalisation 1. Introduction product category cue, was one of the first brand Awareness measures are used extensively in research as awareness measures to receive attention, emerging as a gauge of brand performance and marketing one of the best ‘predictors’ of choice in Axelrod’s (1968) effectiveness.
