INTRODUCTION

BRAND MESSAGE AND PURPOSE OF MANUAL BRAND MESSAGE

Cue is a barbecue and grill restaurant in San Luis Obispo, that prides itself in offering our customers a great experience. This means that not only is our food delicious, but our brand visuals and overall identity are carefully thought out. Those visuals should be utilized to unite all differents aspects of our company, thus making us stand out.

We are a company that values our enviroment, and supports other local companies by buying our fresh produce from farms nearby. But not only do we value the world we live in, we care deeply for our customers.

We truly want their experience with Cue to be the best possible, in every aspect. Caring for our customer as best we can doesn’t only relate to food, but also to the atmosphere and overall quality of our brand.

Our visuals were made to communicate that care and friendliness, while still remaining fun and positive.

We’re a trendy, newer barbecue restaurant, that wants to offer good barbecue without feeling outdated. Our brand was created to further communicate who we are.

GRAPHIC ELEMENTS

DOTS

DOTS

Dots may be used as graphic elements, dividers, or line rules. When used between lines of text, always use a minimum of three dots. When separating words, use one dot. The dots may also be used in a vertical alignment to separate blocks of text, as long as a minimum of three dots is used. The dots may be used as either Red Wine or Fresh Orange. See examples of the dots being used as dividers in the Business System {page 42}, and as a line rule in the Chapter Title pages of the manual.

Note: Black dots may be utilized when color is not allowed for production.

32

SPACING

Three dots of the same size should fit between each of the dots, both horizontally and vertically.

CLEAR SPACE

The dots should always have a certain amount of empty space around them to make sure they stands out. This space should be equivalent or greater to the space of three dots of the same size.

33

GRAPHIC ELEMENTS

PATTERNS

PATTERNS

These patterns may be used for multiple different purposes including posters, advertisements or packaging.

Both patterns utilize the eight icons, however only one has the secondary mark incorporated into it. If the pattern without the logo is used, the primary, secondary, or word mark must be used somewhere on the same piece. If the pattern with the logo is used, make sure to keep the mark legible {see page 14 for specific size}.

Whenever possible, the pattern should have the color Nude as the background. Never set graphic elements, pictures, or text on the pattern.

See different uses of the patter in the Business System {page 42} and other Applications {page 52}.

35

COLOR PALETTE

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PRIMARY COLOR PALETTE

The primary color palette comes directly from the word mark, and includes Wine Red and Fresh Orange. These two colors are distinct to us, and should be utilized in all design.

RED Wine Red is the predominant color in the word marks.

Thus, it should almost always be the color that is more emphasized in elements like headers. For example, on this page, the Section Title {Color Palette} is in Wine Red, while the Section Subtitle {Primary and Secondary} are in Fresh Orange.

FRESH ORANGE Fresh Orange is the other color in the word marks.

While Fresh Orange is less visible than Wine Red, it is still an important part of our visual identity. It should be utilized for elements lower in the visual hierarchy, like sub headers. However, sometimes Fresh Orange can be the dominant color, as seen with the some of the icons {page 32}. This is only in cases where variety is needed; half of the icons are still predominantly Wine Red. If unsure, the safest decision is to emphasize Wine Red. 36

FRESH ORANGE C:0 M:46 Y:97 K:0 R:249 G:15 B:34 Pantone: P 17–8 U HEX: F99B22

SECONDARY COLOR PALETTE

The secondary color palette consists of Dark Grey and Nude complement the primary colors.

DARK GREY Dark Grey is the color used for all paragraphs of text.

Do not use it for graphic elements or title text.

NUDE Nude is the color used for background color, especially behind the patterns {page 32}. Nude should not be used for graphic elements or any text. In addition, do not place a Nude background behind text set in Fresh Orange.

TYPEFACE

BRANDON GROTESQUE

BRANDON GROTESQUE

Brandon Grotesque is the typeface to be used for all of the design materials, included, but not limited to, advertisements, menus and websites. It contrasts the word mark well, and unifies all of our materials. Never skew or manually stretch the typeface.

THIN, LIGHT AND REGULAR Thin, light, and regular should be used for all body text, set in the Dark Grey color. Body text should never be less than 10pt. The light and regular weights can also be used for sub headers, as long as the color is set to either Wine Red or Fresh Orange. Using italics can be a great way to create hierarchy in information, as seen in the Business Card {page 44}.

38

MEDIUM, BOLD, AND BLACK Medium, bold, and black should be used mainly for headers and sub headers. They’re a great way to create hierarchy, and thus can also be used to emphasize important details like dates. For main titles, consider using either bold or black and setting the text in Wine Red over the same text set in the Fresh Orange. Each version of the text should be the exact same size and weight, but the Fresh Orange should be moved to the right 0.05". An example of this can be seen in the Chapter Headers of this manual.

BUSINESS SYSTEM 41

BUSINESS SYSTEM

BUSINESS CARD, LETTERHEAD AND ENVELOPE

BASIC INFO The business system consists of a business card, letterhead, and envelope. It was designed to keep consistent with our visual identity, even with business related documents.

Either our primary or secondary logo should always be found on the business system items, as explained on the next few pages. The typesetting and graphics are also explained in detail.

42

PRINT The business system should always be produced with high attention to detail. Thus, it should only be printed on high quality paper. A great example for the letterhead would be Starwhite CVR Tiara Smooth by Neenah Paper, in 65LB. The business card should be printed on the heaviest stock.

43

Business cards shown at actual size.

I GR

BUSINESS CARD The business card is a two sided 3.5" by 2" card. A small triangle, measuring 0.1" by 0.3", should be cut out from the middle of both of the short sides of the card.

The front of the card should have the logo-less pattern, with the primary logo placed in the center on a 1.8" by 1.5" square. The primary logo should be used in its minimum size, 1.3�"by 1.2". The square and the card itself should be in the Nude color.

The back of the card should also be set in the Nude Color, and have a 1.3" width banner of the logo-less pattern on the left side. All text should be formatted and colored as described on the next page. The three red dots should be used as a divider, to separate personal information from company information.

All of the text in the business card, as in all of our designs, should be in Brandon Grotesque. The header of the business card should consist of the name and the title, with the name coming first. Set in Wine Red and 12 pt font size, the name should be medium weight.

Below that should be the title, set in 10pt medium italic, also in Wine Red. Underneath the name and the title should be the personal contact information, all in 10pt type. The “t.” and the “e.” should be lowercase, set in Wine Red, with a medium weight. The telephone number should be formatted with periods, as seen here, set in light weight and Dark Grey. The email should also be Dark Grey, but regular weight.

The website address itself should be in Dark Grey, set in regular weight. The mailing address should be below, also in Dark Grey, but in light weight.

Kathryn E. McCormick Professor of Design Department of Art & Design California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 November 26, 2016 Dear Ms. McCormick, Cue is a new barbecue and grill restaurant in San Luis Obispo. The main mission of Cue is to be a hip and trendy barbecue joint, that provides delicious and convenient food. To support other local companies, the produce used at Cue will be bought from farmers located in the Central Coast. In addition, Cue will be very conscious and aware of current trends, and thus able to adjust to new opportunities. Since the main clients are college students, Cue needs to be a place that you feel cool going to, while still getting to eat high quality barbecue. To appeal to the few older clients we’ll have, as well as to make sure that the barbecue not only tastes but also feels legitimate, the store will have a rusty and fun western interior and style. Our clients will feel welcome, because of the great atmosphere created by our kind and caring staff, as well as the fun music playing in the background. During game nights, and evenings in general, it might get busier and louder with people celebrating and socializing.

However, everyone is still welcome, and there is always the option to call in and pick-up your food to go. To show our clients how much we care for them, we’ll have special events and discounts planned regularly. These discounts, as well as our values and our work locally (e.g. supporting local businesses) will be advertised through different social media plans, through which we’ll be able to reach our main audience easily.

Sincerely,

Annamari Jaaksi
