3 Introduction Dear Eckerd College community, In a visually based society overrun with logos and slogans available via countless technological platforms, it s more important than ever that organizations seeking recognition by consumers find a look and a message and stick with them. Establishing, then preserving, visual integrity is a key element in creating a consistent image. At Eckerd, our look is informed by the College mantra, THINKOUTSIDE. Applicable campus-wide, the visual elements not only speak to our emphasis on critical thinking and our beautiful Florida environment, but also apply to our focus on learning not only inside the classroom, but also outside the classroom in residence halls, eateries, student lounges, our campus beach and athletic fields, and through internships and other forms of experiential learning. In short, THINKOUTSIDE embodies the combination of location, curriculum and experiential learning that makes Eckerd unique. The following pages provide guidelines about Eckerd s visual identity and should serve as an early point of reference in planning for College materials. All THINKOUTSIDE visual elements should be used only in consultation with the Office of Marketing and Communications, members of which are happy to work with College departments and designers. Together we can achieve and maintain visual integrity and align our messages and visuals with the transformational experiences of our students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff.

5 The Eckerd College Signature The Eckerd College Signature is a combination of the shell icon and the Eckerd College logotype. The shell icon represents the Pacific Trumpet Triton, a rare gastropod found in the Pacific Ocean. As one of three elements within the Eckerd College brand (see page 9), the Eckerd College Signature and its consistent use will promote and contribute in distinguishing Eckerd College. These elements are in a locked configuration and are not to be adjusted at any time without expressed permission of the Office of Marketing and Communications. The Signature must appear in every piece of material that is created for the promotion of Eckerd College in any fashion. Including but not limited to internal and external materials. > The Signature should be produced exactly as shown and should never be altered in any way without permission from the Office of Marketing and Communications. ECKERD COLLEGE BRANDING GUIDELINES 4

9 THINKOUTSIDE Core Elements The THINKOUTSIDE Campaign consists of four key graphic elements. The THINKOUTSIDE wordmark, the Eckerd College wordmark, the Web Dialogue element and the Recycled element. Consistent use of these elements assist an audience in immediately identifying Eckerd College s message and establish recognition. THINKOUTSIDE Wordmark The THINKOUTSIDE wordmark is the primary element in the THINKOUTSIDE campaign. This element should be featured prominently in all external pieces used in promoting Eckerd College. For usage guidelines see pages Eckerd College Wordmark The Eckerd College wordmark is also a critical element in establishing recognition. This element is important as it easily identifies Eckerd College and its location. This element should also be featured prominently in all external pieces used with the THINKOUTSIDE wordmark. The wordmark is not to be used in lieu of the Eckerd College Signature, which is required to appear on all pieces. For usage guidelines see pages Web Dialogue Element The Web Dialogue element is a secondary graphic used in assisting an audience in finding a web address for more information. Consistent use of this element allows the viewer to quickly identify a web address when needed. This element should remain in PMS 632 and PMS 153, unless the reversed version is applicable (see pages 22-23). Recycled Element See Paper & Printing page 26 for appropriate usage. > These elements should be produced exactly as shown and should never be altered in any way without permission from the Office of Marketing and Communications.

13 THINKOUTSIDE Core Elements / Typography Typography The THINKOUTSIDE wordmark is adapted from the typeface Gotham Light and Gotham Medium. Always use the approved graphic for the THINKOUTSIDE wordmark, do not recreate the logotype using the Gotham family or any similar typeface. Gotham Light Gotham Book Gotham Medium ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abdcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz !?., ; ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abdcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz !?., ; ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abdcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz !?., ; Typography Styles When using the THINKOUTSIDE typefaces in print, it is important to implement design styles. Utilizing these styles will give a consistent feel to all materials produced by Eckerd and helps establish brand familiarity. Headlines, Subheads and Body Copy Gotham Medium is appropriate for heads, subheads and emphasizing items in body copy. Goudy is appropriate body text. Clarendon bold is appropriate for emphasizing smaller items such as sidebars or numbers within the text. Goudy Clarendon Bold ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abdcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz !?., ; ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abdcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz !?., ; Paragraphs Paragraphs should be set flush left without indenting the first line. Avoid hyphenation if possible. ECKERD COLLEGE BRANDING GUIDELINES 12

15 THINKOUTSIDE Core Elements / Design Print Oversized (9.75"x12.5") Brochure Sample Spread.25" white border around top, left and bottom sides as image bleeds off the right side of the page. If bleeding the image isn t possible, maintain.25" border throughout..25" knock-out in top of image to identify section subhead ( Hands-on Learning ). Intro copy is placed inside a white box emphasized with a PMS 153, 1pt dashed rule. Rule begins.625" from edge of white box, while text begins.125" from edge of orange rule. i Using 6 column grid structure allows for consistent column widths in body copy, placing point of interest in smaller column (see left page More than 60%...). ECKERD COLLEGE BRANDING GUIDELINES 14

16 Accessibility Accessible print design should be clean, simple, uncluttered and have the ability to attract a wide audience. Designing something that is accessible to everyone is virtually impossible. However, the guidelines set forth allow Eckerd College s communications to be as accessible to as many different people and age groups as possible while remaining visually exciting. Color When selecting color it is critical that there is enough contrast between the information and the background/image. Contrast Using dark text on white backgrounds and white or light text on dark backgrounds provide enough tonal difference to clearly communicate information. Placing smaller text on images may make the information hard to read. Place text on images sparingly to increase emphasis. The background should always have high contrast in relation to the text. Type size The recommended minimum type size is 9 point. If appropriate to your audience, a smaller type size may be acceptable. Please contact the Office of Marketing and Communications for permission. Capital letters When setting text in capital letters it is important not to over use this technique. Too much text in all caps makes the information difficult to read. Using strong color to add emphasis is a good alternative. Leading Leading is the space between lines of text, measured from baseline to baseline. If leading is too narrow or too wide, the text will be difficult to read. The leading should be a minimum of 2 point sizes larger than the type size. Word Spacing, Letter Spacing and Horizontal Scaling Altering the letter spacing or compromising the proportions of the type should be avoided as the text will become distorted or difficult to read. Typography Style Well-designed typography strengthens and correct element usage adds consistency and character to Eckerd College s communications. Eckerd s style is strong, clean and simple. Headlines should be limited in characters and instantly recognizable. Intro text and quotes or facts act as a summary of the content or key messages. Body copy should be flush left, ragged right. Adhering to these styles will give a consistent and unified appearance to all the materials produced by Eckerd College. ECKERD COLLEGE BRANDING GUIDELINES 15

17 Image Style Photography Photography is an important element in communicating the energy of Eckerd College. The images used in promoting Eckerd should highlight the emotion and environment surrounding Eckerd College. Incorporate images that offer a creative perspective through subject matter, cropping or unusual angles. Try to use images that portray Eckerd College in spontaneous, observational settings versus using staged photography. Please be careful to avoid images that might be considered by some audiences to be cliché, offensive, alienating, or racial/gender stereotypical. Prominently featuring one or two large images is a more effective design device opposed to multiple small images. See Applications beginning on page 17 for successful image use. Images can be reproduced in full color and black and white. Images used for printed materials must be printed at 300 dpi. Our image library contains approved photography that may be available for your communications. > Please contact the Office of Marketing and Communications for image requests and image approval. Images (right) are examples of photography displaying the traits listed above. ECKERD COLLEGE BRANDING GUIDELINES 16

ECKERD COLLEGE BRANDING GUIDELINES 25

27 Paper & Printing Paper When choosing printers and paper it is important to convey Eckerd College s awareness of it s environmental responsibility. Professional printing Choose paper that is % post-consumer waste (PCW), from sustainable sources, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and/or made by renewable energy. Use non-toxic water-based vegetable or vegetable-based soy inks with organic pigment containing no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and packaged in vacuum-sealed reusable containers. Digital printing is a more economical solution for smaller quantities and is an environmentally friendlier process as it avoids chemicals in the traditional printing processes. Professional printing stock > Contact the Office of Marketing and Communications for assistance in selecting a paper suited for your particular project. When using heavy ink coverage an overall dull aqueous or varnish is recommended to help expedite the drying process and prevent smudging. When using the Recycled logo on a piece of printed material, please attempt to include the process details and statistics. See example below. This brochure is printed on Sappi Opus Dull paper, which contains 30% Post-Consumer Waste. This paper meets the Forest Stewardship Council s standards for responsible forest management and use of resources. 100% of the electricity used to manufacture this paper is Green-e certified renewable energy. The inks used on the printing of this brochure are vegetable-based with organic pigment containing no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and are packaged in vacuum-sealed reusable containers. To read more on Eckerd s sustainable practices, go to Desktop printing stock A wide range of paper colors and quality from budget to premium ranges are available for purchase though many office supply stores. Paper available includes many environmentally friendly, recycled or FSC accredited papers. Please consider Eckerd College s environmental responsibilities when choosing appropriate stocks. Each printer can provide their environmental certifications and practices upon request. The Office of Marketing and Communications is available to assist in selecting printers.
