4 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Using This Manual This manual governs how the Duncan brandmark is applied and confirms approved colour palettes, typefaces, page layouts and other such methods of maintaining visual continuity and brand recognition across all physical manifestations of the visual identity. Council, committees, City of Duncan departments, boards, and commissions are responsible for ensuring all their visual communications are in compliance with the Visual Identity Standards to enhance the corporate brand. 1.3 The Duncan Identity The Duncan brandmark is inspired by the City s valley setting, and uses the City Hall clocktower as an iconic centerpiece. The shades of green represent the colours of the landscape as well as the colours of the building spire. The stylized line graphics are inspired by first nations artwork, and the uppercase letters are reminiscent of monumental letterforms inscribed into stone. 1.2 Visual Identity Development WHAT IS A VISUAL IDENTITY? The City of Duncan s visual identity is greater than its logo or tagline; it expresses the sum of the municipality s positive qualities. The brand will provide the City with a signature, akin to a personal signature. Just as a personal signature validates documents, a brandmark provides significance and recognition to municipal items. WHY DO WE NEED A BRANDMARK? Brandmarks or logos are now the visual identifiers of municipal entities. It is a Municipal symbol for residents, visitors and stakeholders, and contributes to its image and reputation. THE BENEFITS OF A CONSISTENT BRAND Careful management of the brandmark is critical to ensure corporate professionalism and recognizability to residents, communities, stakeholders, and other interested external parties. This application is important to effectively communicate Duncan s overarching essence and qualities. 4 NOVEMBER 2012

5 2.0 Brandmark Architecture 2.1 The Promotional Brandmark Published information about the City of Duncan, whether in print or electronic form, is considered promotional material. All media, with the exception of corporate items, must use the promotional version of the brandmark as a visual identifier. Acceptable Applications Business Cards Fax Transmittal Generic Letterhead Staff Reports Press Releases Marketing Products Municipal Vehicles Identity and Directional Signage Website Duncan Promotional Brandmark 2.2 The Corporate Brandmark A separate full-colour version of the brandmark has been created for use on specialty corporate items. It is designed to identify the City at the internal level. This version of the brandmark should not be used on Promotional identity materials. Acceptable Applications Mayoral Letterhead Policy & Procedure Covers Annual Report Covers Permit Documents Request for Proposal Covers Employment Contracts Job Postings Safety Reports Regulatory Signage Duncan Corporate Brandmark CITY OF DUNCAN VISUAL IDENTITY STANDARDS 5

6 3.0 Brandmark Standards 3.1 Colour Standards Colour is a key element of a visual identity, and colour must be reproduced consistantly to preserve the strength of the brand. The Duncan brandmark can be reproduced only in the colours listed on the right. PMS 7473 C CMYK RGB WEB 00968F PMS 484 C CMYK RGB WEB AD3624 PMS Black C CMYK RGB WEB C1 C2 C3 3.2 Colour Variations Different versions of the brandmark are available to use depending on the application.

C1 C2 C3 C1 40% tint C1 70% tint FULL COLOUR LOGO The preferred standard to be used on all promotional materials and applications. ONE COLOUR LOGO To be used when full colour is not available or unsuitable. ONE COLOUR LOGO BLACK To be used when only black and white reproduction is available. ONE COLOUR LOGO WHITE (REVERSED OUT) To be used on solid black or dark backgrounds. 6 NOVEMBER 2012

7 3.3 Typeface Standards The typeface standards have been divided into two categories: graphic design, and staff use. Graphic designers typically have a specialized palette of tools and software programs at their disposal. As such, they have access to a greater range of fonts sets that are not included with standard word processing software used by office staff. For this reason, a separate, more common font set is specified for use on internal electronic templates. Detailed application standards of both font families are outlined in Section 4. Consistent application of these typographic guidelines will help ensure that the branding program is maintained. FONT SET 1: GRAPHIC DESIGN The font sets for graphic designers are Scala Sans and Minion Pro. Scala Sans is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Dutch designer Martin Majoor. It is available with true small capitals, lining and non-lining (old style figures) and many ligatures. It is a versatile font recommended for a variety of uses. Minion Pro is a serif typeface designed by Robert Slimbach. It exhibits the aesthetic and functional qualities that make text type highly readable, and should be used for headers, subheads, or lengthy amounts of body text. Rubicon is the typeface used for the Duncan wordmark. It is a all-caps font without any additional weights, so it is not recommended for regular text use. It may be used as a graphic element in professionnally designed materials, at the discretion of the Town. Scala Sans Regular ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz Minion Pro Regular ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz Rubicon abcdefghijkl Scala Sans Italic ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz Scala Sans Italic ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz FONT SET 2: STAFF USE The font sets for office staff are Calibri and Georgia. Calibri is readily available in most software and hardware installations. It is to be used for headlines, sub-headlines, captions, and diagram or chart labels on communications materials produced by staff. Calibri Regular ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz Calibri Italic ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz Georgia is widely available and is typically supplied as a standard font for both Macintosh and PC environments. It should be used for body text on communications materials produced by staff. Note: This is not a comprehensive list of acceptable font weights (i.e. regular, italic, bold, etc.). Font weights should be selected to suit the desired message. Georgia Regular ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz Georgia Italic ABCDEFGHIJKL nopqrstuvwxyz CITY OF DUNCAN VISUAL IDENTITY STANDARDS 7

8 3.4 Size & Spacing Standards MINIMUM PRINTED SIZE The minimum printed size for each of the Duncan brandmarks is 1 inch wide at 300 dpi. Please note that larger sizes are preferable and legibility should always be the determining factor. 1 inch 1 inch CLEAR SPACE Each brandmark should have a clear buffer zone around it at all times to ensure that visual impact is not compromised. A minimum space equal to the proportional height of the letter D in the wordmark must be established on all sides when in proximity to other graphic elements. Recommended clear space = Height of letter D 8 NOVEMBER 2012

9 3.5 Improper Usage As a general rule the brandmarks should never be altered or recreated in any way. The following are examples of misuse. DO NOT condense or stretch the brandmarks. DO NOT reproduce the brandmarks in any colours other than those specified within these guidelines. DO NOT rotate the brandmarks. DO NOT alter the font or replace the wording in the brandmarks. DUNCAN DO NOT change the orientation or appearance of the graphic elements within the brandmarks. DO NOT reproduce the brandmarks on backgrounds that impede legibility, such as complex textures or photographs. Whenever possible a white background should be used. Other solid colour backgrounds are acceptable if white is not possible. CITY OF DUNCAN VISUAL IDENTITY STANDARDS 9

10 4.0 Brandmark Applications A variety of stationery and marketing applications are detailed in this section. They include offset printed products such as letterhead and business cards, as well as electronic templates for standard internal and external communications products. Each of these follow standard design configurations allowing suppliers and personnel to add appropriate information without the need of creating new design formats. Guidelines detailing the specifications for each item are provided throughout this section. May 16 th, 2012 Mr. Bob Roberts 120 Smith Street Dartmouth, n.s.

The City and DBIAS are partnering on a Totem Interpretive Package. This involves creating significantly redesigned signage for the City of Totems' outdoor art gallery, and documenting the stories of the carvers so as to prevent the loss of cultural knowledge, to add to the community archive and to provide the basis for the new interpretative signs. The celebration of the centennial year for the City of Totems and surrounding area will continue to build cultural bridges between the settler community and the Coast Salish who lived there since time began. In one hundred years there have been significant changes that have affected both communities. The effort made by both communities in the past 40 years to find ways to develop common interests has helped the community prosper. There have been major changes in the past 25 years; understanding has been fostered by both communities with joint participation in events both on and off reserve that honours each community's heritage. As Project Manager the successful applicant will interview the original carvers of the current totem pole collection of 41 poles, and oversee the accurate documenting of the stories of the poles and the use of the stories for the new interpretative kiosk, panels and plaques in the community. The student interns with the guidance of the Project Manager will work with the Cowichan Valley Museum and Archives. Calibri Regular 8pt 200 Craig Street, Duncan, B.C.

21 4.10 Fleet Identification Visual identifiers should be consistently applied to all Duncan Municipal vehicles, as illustrated in the following examples. In all vehicle types, the full colour Promotional brandmark should be applied to both the driver and passenger doors. To prevent cropping and ensure visibility, it should be placed below the door handles as specified. The brandmark is sized consistently for all vehicle types, however there may be instances where space is not adequate or larger applications are desired. In such cases the brandmark can resized so long as the recommended clear space is maintained around it, as shown to the right. Each vehicle has a unique vehicle identification number, which is placed on the front body panel above the trim line. It is placed on both sides of vehicle, as well as the right side of the trunk, tailgate, panel door or hatchback, directly above the tail lights. It appears in PMS Black C.

22 4.11 Marketing Graphics Usage Other organizations may use the Duncan Brandmark but only when written permission is obtained from the City of Duncan. All applications must include a graphic rendering and description of the intended use, and must agree to comply with the standards outlined in this manual. AUDIENCE OR SPECIAL EVENT-SPECIFIC PUBLICATIONS Audience or special event-specific products are marketing tools that are used to promote sanctioned City programs or events. An example of a special event specific product could include a pamphlet advertising a City-sponsored summer festival (see example at right). These products do not require the use of the Duncan colour palette or font sets. Designers are free to choose colours and fonts that are appropriate to the theme and audience. Reproduction of the Duncan brandmark, however, must comply with the standards outlined in this manual. DUNCAN COWICHAN SANCTIONED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS When using the Duncan brandmark to identify partnerships, it should be formated as follows: Align partnership message with left edge of brandmark and ensure minimum clear space is maintained.

23 5.0 Additional Information 5.1 Brandmark File Formats The brandmark is available in the following file formats: VECTOR ARTWORK (Ai or EPS file) This format is ideal for printing because it will print very crisply even when resized. If resizing the vector version of the brandmark, always drag from the corner rather than the side or top. This will resize the brandmark proportionally. Resizing from the sides or top will distort the brandmark, which is not permitted. RASTER ARTWORK (TIFF, JPEG, OR PNG FILE) The 300 DPI (high resolution) versions should be used for print. The 72 DPI (low resolution) versions should be used for web or screen applications. Be careful not to enlarge a raster image as the image will become pixelated. 5.2 Trademark Ownership The Duncan brandmarks are the property of the City of Duncan. Any reproduction of the brandmarks, other than for specified municipal use, licensed programs of the City of Duncan, or without the City of Duncan s expressed written permission, is strictly prohibited. 5.3 Contact Information Virtually all items shown in the Visual Identity Standards exist in electronic form and are ready for use as artwork. Contact the Director of Corporate Services for electronic copies of the brandmark and its supporting identity elements, or for electronic document templates.
