TURNING UP THE H·E·A·T Our new brand is all about revamping everything we’ve built thus far. The difference will be obvious, visually, just by looking at our new wordmark and logo, but the change is more than just skin-deep. We believe it will be just as apparent as you look at the organization. The new H.E.A.T. is more unified than years past and is even more driven. H.E.A.T. is established now, and we’re ready to take the world by storm; stoking the fires and reaching out farther than to make our world better. Global H.E.A.T.ing is real, are you ready?

OUR BRAND

// OUR BRAND

OUR PURPOSE H.E.A.T. is a student service organization dedicated to improving humanitarian, environmental, and animal welfare issues through Positive Activism. H.E.A.T. never demonizes. H.E.A.T. always rises.

// OUR BRAND

THE IDEAL MEMBER The ideal member of H.E.A.T. is a dedicated individual. What fuels this dedication is passion, it is the essence of our organization and is essential for our members to possess. It is passion that drives innovation, creativity, and positivity. This student is an open-minded individual, steadfast in his/her beliefs, but always willing to listen to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views and accept them regardless of differences of opinion. The ideal HE.A.T.ster has a lot on their mind, always conscious of local issues and thinking of ways to support positive change. Likewise, the ideal H.E.A.T.ster is also globally oriented, aware that H.E.A.T. has the ability to help people thousands of miles away, and will refuse to let distance be an insurmountable obstacle to helping those in need. This person is a game changer, forward thinking while being a responsible leader for those in the organization and an excellent representation of the organization outside of H.E.A.T.

// OUR BRAND

OUR IDENTITY H.E.A.T.'s identity is the alignment of what people see, hear, read, experience, and think about H.E.A.T. as an organization. This is what we want to be known for and deliver habitually. • Positive activism • Consistently creative ventures • Meaningful service projects • Passionate awareness campaigns • Non-demonizing programs • Responsible actions • Respectful of opinions

// OUR BRAND

OUR PERSONALITY H.E.A.T. has a unique personality. We are fun and creative while nurturing a family-like group dynamic. Together, we strive to personify attributes such as: • Positivity • Dedication • Responsibility • Inventiveness • Leadership • Successfulness Passion dictates our every action — it is what drives us every step of the way.

OUR LOOK & FEEL Our new look and feel is streamlined, updated, and sophisticated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while still keeping in tune with H.E.A.T.'s unique personality. With this new look, we are striving to create a consistant and more tangable H.E.A.T.

Lo g o S pec ificati on s

LO G O S Our revamped logos includes the streamlined Human, Environmental, Animal, and World symbols contained together in a circle. This represents each of the committees working together to create our power-house organization. The "plus sign" located in the center illustrates the core of the establishment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; positivity. We also raised the dots to not only update the look but also to show that H.E.A.T. stands for something and is more than an ordinary acronym. *The logos in H.E.A.T. Green is the primary state for the logos to be colored. Only use the gray versions of the logo when necessary.

VARIATIONS

T YP O GRAPHY Typography is a huge part of the look & feel of a brand. Nexa Light, tracked out (spaced out) is our main heading style. This is paired with Open Sans which has many different weights. Expletus Sans is used primarily in the logos where Human-Environmental-Animal-Team is written out. Try to use these fonts when conducting all written H.E.A.T. business.
