Red Hat Society Brand Essence
The
Red Hat Society
Sisterhood exemplifies the unique
woman to woman supportive, nurturing and funfilling relationships that last a lifetime. As an organization, it is the Red Hat Society’s mantra and PRIORITY to create a one-of-a-kind enriching, informative and
memorable
member experience and
SISTER SOCIETY. The Red Hat Society's goal is to strengthen its connection with members and attract the attention of their target audience, BABY BOOMER WOMEN. Implementing a visual communication strategy that echoes the foundational messages of the organization – lifelong friendships,
boundless support
and
frivolous fun – will not only connect but strongly resonate with these women.

Graphic Style Elements: LOGOS Primary Logos
RHS_Main Logo PMS 187 C PMS 2607 C
RHS_Graphic Logo (Corporate Only) PMS 187 C PMS 2607 C
There are two types of logos shown in this section: the Main Logo and the Graphic Logo. In order to create an official consistent brand message, in general the Main Logo is to be used on all Red Hat Society materials. The Graphic Logo was created for print and event materials where more room is available to create a signature corporate logo headline. Do not change or alter the provided logos in any way. Always use the two-color versions in the PMS colors listed above unless limited to one color by the printing process, or when using the logos against a background that requires a one-color application. If the situation lends itself to a one color application, please use only PMS 187 C as that primary color.

Graphic Style Elements: OFFICIAL SEAL Primary Logos
RHS_Official_Seal
Ruby Red PMS 187 C
The Red Hat Society Official Seal is to be used on all communication from the Red Hat Society. Due to the new paying membership structure and the amount of confusingly similar competition in the marketplace, the RHS Official Seal was created to easily identify authentic communication, events, promotional partners, advertisers, retailers and official merchandise.

Secondary Colors The signature colors of the Red Hat Society have been evolved to better embrace a member’s lifestyle while maintaining a distinctive brand image for the society.

The secondary colors signify a specific topic of outreach as follows: 1. Fabulous Fuchsia – Membership communication 2. Luscious Lavender – Partner communication 3. Marvelous Mint – Event communication 4. Petal Pink – Information communication 5. Glorious Gold – Queen communication 6. Sparkly Silver – Contests, promotions for the members Note: All colors are to be used at 100%

RHS_GraphicWord_04 RHS_GraphicWord_03
This section includes headers and word graphics that will enhance and build your branding communication pieces. Each word has its own characteristics and embellishments that have been added to the base font of Shelley Allegro. These words were chosen as the key words representing the organization, its message and their importance to members. In the embellishment section you will find all the fleurs and swooshes to make the appropriate header and/or graphic word accordingly. 8

In using these headers and word graphics, note that these may only be one color, and will follow the specific color formula for each topic of outreach. The primary colors are the mainstay for all outreach and should be used as such. The secondary colors now play a more prominent role to improve branded communication, and these word graphics should reflect that when/where appropriate. 9

Should additional words need to be added in the future, please follow the same formula: • Embellishments added to the base font of Shelley Allegro should be included on the ends of each word or phrase, but are not to be overlapping between words for readability sake. • Letters with ascending or descending extensions can be be overlapping between words for the sake of readability. • Lowercase “t’s” can be embellished, as well as the punctuation on a lowercase “i” where appropriate and still legible. • Capital letters should be embellished where readability is not compromised. • Do not use more than 2-3 flourishes per word, depending on the size of the word and/or phrase, and number of ascenders/descenders within the word.

As noted on the graphic word page, should you need to create additional word graphics, these embellishments have been created in order to keep the styling of all Red Hat Society graphic words consistent and signature. Make sure these embellishments mimic the same size and weight of your graphic words base font, so that all embellishements have equal weight and proportion. 12

These embellishments are provided to add a touch of feminine style or graphic punctuation to the Red Hat Society communication. Please use them selectively to avoid over-designing the communication, and losing the true intent of these delicate additions. Use them to break up some of the patterns to add some femininity and white space; to visually and graphically distinguish space between a headline and a sub-head; or to end an article or ad with a graphic flair. Make sure these embellishments mimic the same size and weight of your graphic words base font, so that all embellishements have equal weight and proportion. 13

Guiding Principles
Less Is More – the new tool kit offers many design elements to incorporate into your design. Please use them judiciously to enhance versus clutter your outreach. Age Appropriate – studies have shown that when communicating with the Baby Boomer generation clean, bold design is preferred and appreciated. We embrace this philosophy with a warm hearted touch of femininity. Ways to Communicate – utilize visual design, color and graphic words and elements to effectively communicate your story, or information. Consistency – a distinctive brand image is built through consistent usage of the branded elements to create complementary designs that tell a unified brand story. Protect – always include the Red Hat Society seal on all materials, products and promotions to protect the integrity of the society and quickly identify official outreach. Legal – always include the appropriate legal mark(s) and legal lines on all outreach to ensure we protect the integrity and longevity of the RHS intellectual property.

Legal PROPER DESIGNATION OF RHS TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS As stated in the attachment to this document which is on file with the RHS Legal Department and updated from time to time*, the Red Hat Society has registered trademarks and copyrights for “Red Hat Society,” “Purple Perks,” Ruby as a pictured design, the picture of the Sash/Swoosh adorning the RHS hat logo, “Scarlet Sparkle,” and Women at Play in the design of a sign. All of these trademarks, when used to designate products or services or in collateral promoting the Red Hat Society or its products or services should be followed/accompanied by the use of “®” (for example, Red Hat Society®). RHS also claims other trademarks based on prior use of these marks such as our hat logo (which we are currently in the process of registering), “Red Hat,” “Pink Hat,” “Red Hatter,” “Red Hattitude,” and “RHS,” which should be followed/accompanied by “TM” (for example, RHS™). In certain cases when specified by the Legal Department, it may be appropriate to include the statement “All marks are the sole and exclusive property of The Red Hat Society, Inc., and may not be used without the prior written consent of the Red Hat Society.” All creations of the Red Hat Society for which we claim copyright (both words and images) should be accompanied by “©” as follows: “© The Red Hat Society, Inc. [date(s)].” In the use of the RHS Tool Kit to present trademarks or copyrights or produce creative expressions, please check with the RHS Legal Department with any questions regarding proper designation of trademarks and copyrights. The guidance of this page is intended to facilitate proper designation, but such designation is not a black or white proposition. When in doubt, please consult with the Legal Department. *For example, the Red Hat Society is in the process of completing the sale of its registered trademark “Fun Points®” to a third party, and this mark should not be used on behalf of RHS.

Final Note
The heart of the
Red Hat Society
is the bond these women share
with each other, and Hatquarters is the essential ingredient creating and NURTURING this precious bond. Communication and materials for members should be developed with this knowledge in mind. Utilizing all aspects of the Tool Kit to creatively and visually reinforce the
sisterhood
between these women will ensure outreach resonates and warms their hearts further. Oh and don’t forget the FUN! These ladies are ALL about having a great time together.
Heartfelt,
Feminine
and Fun translates to successful RHS campaigns.
