OUR MARK - THE “B” Our mark features a visual icon that sets us apart - the “B”.

Not only representing the word “Bray” but the letter “B” itself embodies duality and balance as represented by its shape, symmetrical and balanced. Strengthened by its cursive nature, it represents a journey, signaling the passage from one phase of life to another causing both stability and change. It is the interconnectedness of opposing forces – a bridge – serving as a threshold where one ends, and another begins – it is the beginning. As you speak the letter “B” resonates with strength and resilience, echoing through words like “bold” and “belief.” Thus, the letter “B” emerges as a symbol of harmony, evolution, and inner strength in the tapestry of human connection.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BRAND Embodied in every Bray logo and mark is more than 75 years of brand equity and collective dollars spent on advertising and marketing.

Established in 1946, Bray & Co is the largest independent brokerage on the Western Slope of Colorado.

A leader in all things real estate – servicing the needs of buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, tenants, and homebuilders. Bray & Co has thrived through five local boom/bust cycles – uranium in the 50s, coal in the 60s, oil shale in the 80s, gas in the 2000s, COVID in 2020 and vows to still push forward, no mater what may come.

A comprehensive, corporate, and divisional brand identity, our guidelines have been created to help capitalize on the brand’s strength.

The brand identity system includes logos, colors and typefaces. The guideline also addresses the brand voice, or style in which Bray & Company communicates with the public.

Developed for all who have an interest in the success of the Bray & Company brand, these guidelines apply to the creation of signs, print ads, websites, posters, business cards, stationery and other materials.

10 | BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADEMARK STANDARDS At it’s core, trademark standards serve a single, invaluable purpose: protecting the brand. WHY IS BRAND IMPORTANT? The Bray & Company brand is more than a name, a logo or a collection of products and services. It’s how people think and feel about the company. It tells our story. It reflects our personality, dedication to clients and commitment to excellence.

The Bray & Company brand is one of our most valued assets. And it’s up to every Bray & Company Affiliate to help protect it.

When you adhere to trademark standards, you not only leverage the full power of the brand for your own business, you also build upon its power and influence.

This manual provides guidance for communicating the brand promise and personality – and the common vision shared by Bray & Company – in a way that benefits all.

BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS | 11

STANDARDS COMPLIANCE AND TRADEMARK VIOLATIONS The misuse of the Bray & Company brand negatively impacts everyone in at Bray & Company and we must stand and guard it.

You are encouraged to contact the Bray & Company Marketing Team with any questions about the standards or to share information about non-compliance. We rely on you to defend the marks against infringement and dilution. If you see outside organizations or individuals using the wrong Bray & Company trademarks, please report immediately to the Bray & Company Marketing Team.

STANDARDS NON-COMPLIANCE VS TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT There are differences between standards non-compliance and trademark infringement:

IMPROPER USE BY A BRAY & COMPANY AFFILIATE IS STANDARDS NON-COMPLIANCE: • Tends to be unintentional.

• Examples include improper signage, unauthorized variations of logos and marks, improper usage of marks and logos.

UNAUTHORIZED USE BY SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE BRAY & COMPANY NETWORK IS TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT: • Tends to be intentional.

• Use familiarity of the brand and marks to deceive consumers.

Report potential trademark infringement to marketing@brayandco.com

Brand Voice What is this, and why should it matter?

BRAND VOICE is all about the

EXPERIENCE you promise to deliver for clients.

The simple answer is a “brand voice” is the distinct personality that a brand has in the communication and connections it creates with clients.

That means that a brand voice might not be in all marketing or sales materials, but will appear in any content that directly addresses clients.

This document will outline the sound of the Bray & Company’s voice and provide guidelines for how to express it.

BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS | 13

SIGNATURE ELEMENTS The logotypes shown here along with the “B” icon is the single most important expression and form the core of the Bray & Company brand.

The Bray & Company All Things logotype runs in Primary Dark Blue with the interior of the “B” in the Light Blue.

Regardless of the division, all Bray & Company logos and illustrations must always display dark blue letters with the light blue interior in the “B”. The Bray & Company logotype can also be used in any one solid color (such as all-white or all-black). In such applications, all the letters and the “B” element must be the same color.

The new Bray & Company corporate logo features the well-known signature “B”, the “Bray & Co” word mark, with the added the corporate division of “All Things Real Estate.”

All Bray & Company divisions have all be given signature colors and names. The brand refresh and updated logos are now exclusive with all communications – no old logos should be used in their place.

CORPORATE LOGO

BRAY CORPORATE LOGO The Bray Corporate logo should be used whenever speaking about Bray All Things Real Estate as a whole. This will be the logo featured at events, advertisements and sponsorships. This logo should be used on a white background at all times. If the design requires a colored background, substitute this logo for a reverse white only logo as shown below.

REVERSED WHITE & BLACK LOGOS B&W logo versions can be used for print advertising to allow for colored backgrounds as needed, promotional items, mailers or other practical applications.

BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS | 19

LOGO SIZE & SPACING The new Bray logo and any Bray Divisional Logo must stand out to communicate effectively.

When positioned too close, elements such as borders, graphics and text will distract the viewer and diminish the signature’s impact.

For this reason, clear space surrounds the Bray signature. And, for flexibility, both preferred and minimum clear spaces are specified.

4x 2x

4x 2x

2x 4x

2x 4x Preferred clear space = 4x Minimum clear space = 2x

CLEAR SPACE The Bray & Company logotype always appears with space around it. When the Bray & Company logotype is accompanied by any graphic element or type, the bordering space on all four sides must be at least half the height of the letter “B” in Bray. Separate clear space requirements apply to the Bray & Company divisions.

SMALLEST SCALABLE SIZE The smallest allowable size in width for the Bray & Company logotype is 3/4". For situations when “Bray” must be rendered smaller than minimum size, either use plain text or contact the Bray & Company Marketing Team marketing@brayandco.com for assistance.

THE “B” FAMILY

This icon is not to be used as a replacement for the full Corporate Logo. Approved uses for the “B Family” include: • As a graphic design element on all advertising materials that are created and approved by the Bray Marketing Team • As an online photo such as Facebook or Google where a small icon is required. In this instance, the full color B icon should be used and attempt to find a second location where the full logo can also be displayed • As an app icon • As appropriate for promotional items If used as a graphic design element it is OK to enlarge, crop or adjust the position of the B family; however, the B itself should never be stretched or distorted.

Do not place the “B” in any shape, including a box; the box shown here is included only to illustrate a white logo on a dark background.

THE SIGN

GENERAL GUIDELINE FOR BRAY & COMPANY SIGNS Using standard Bray & Company signage is crucial. The sign is perhaps the most visible display of the Bray & Company brand. The design of the sign may not be used for any property signage other than for-sale, for-lease, open-house or directional signs. Standards are strict for the Bray & Company Property Signs.

Affiliates may not use real estate “For Sale” signs other than the Bray & Company Property Signs or the Bray & Company Commercial, when appropriate.

For use only on a very temporary basis while a new Affiliates waiting for his/her signs to arrive, brokers are permitted to obtain a limited number of Bray & Company Property Signs by approved vendors that may vary in some respects, contact your marketing team with any questions. Otherwise, the standards cannot be modified except as outlined in this manual.

State advertising requirements: With the design of the Bray & Company Property Signs, Colorado compliance states require that the licensed brokerage’s name be more prominent than the Associates or team’s name, since the listing is offered by the brokerage. The brokerage phone number shall not be omitted from the sign. The agents name and phone number can be added via rider.

For the residential signs: The REALTOR® logo as well as the Fair Housing logo must also be on the sign.

Information in this manual regarding state signage requirements is for your use only. All Bray & Company Affiliates are responsible for making sure their signs comply with the applicable local requirements and should watch for changes. If you become aware of changes to the advertising requirements, please let us know by emailing marketing@brayandco.com.

BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS | 35

MATERIAL: Any appropriate material can be used, metal is preferred. If Affiliates orders and purchase their own signs they should select material for durability, appearance, ease of handling and storage, flexibility of general use and local climate.

THE NAVY BLUE BAR – LISTING INFORMATION: The center section of the navy bar announces the real estate offering. It will most commonly say “For Sale,” but it may include such terms as “For Rent,” “For Lease,” “Available” or “Managed By.”

DIMENSIONS: Signs should always maintain the proportions shown in this section: 2x2 for residential signs and 4x4 for commercial signs. A 24" x 18" sign is an approved variation, but is discouraged. Due to size constraints, 24" x 18" signs may not be used for photo signs.

THE WHITE SECTION: The middle section includes the Bray & Company logo and the website. The commercial signs includes the office phone number, the agent name and phone number are added to the bottom of sign as an included rider. The residential signs includes a 10% opacity Script “B”, the REALTOR® logo, and Fair Housing logo. The Property Management includes the 10% opacity Script “B”.

FRAME: A full white angle-iron frame is preferred, but a black frame is permitted.

TYPE: Frutiger Bold for all text.

TEXT: Dots are required to segment the number (rather than parentheses or hyphens).

COLORS: See the Bray & Company colors (Bray Navy, Bray Residential Orange, Bray Commercial Green, Bray Property Management Gray, Bray Construction & Maintenance Maroon, Bray Development Red) in the Bray & Company Color Palette on page 23 and the Bray & Company logo requirements on page 18.

36 | BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS

FOR PERSONALIZED SIGNS: Allowances have been provided for a photo and logo or just the associates logo. The associates photo and logo or logo only is to be added under the Bray & Company logo and phone number. The Bray & Company logo and phone number must be bigger than the logo and agent photo.

The agents name, phone and/or website can be added via rider.

44 | BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN ALL AFFILIATE MARKETING Unless media-specific rules apply (as with property signs, mobile apps, or phone book listings), the following information must appear prominently on each piece of promotional material and all internet content: A. The full name of Bray & Company Every Bray & Company division operates under a trade name that contains the word “Bray & Company” such as Bray & Company Residential, Bray & Company Commercial, etc.

The Bray & Company name must appear prominently on all forms of communication and advertising materials (e.g., property signs, business cards, newspaper ads, etc.). Also, answer the phone with the office’s full trade name, such as “Bray & Company” “Bray.”

B. Contact information Office address: Ordinarily, the postal address of the Bray & Company office should be included on all Bray & Company marketing.

The office address may be omitted from billboards, bus benches and other items where the practical ability to include more information may be limited, although the item may be large in size. It must be included, however, on all long-form marketing such as brochures, listing presentations, websites, social media, etc. and on all marketing outside the brokerage’s local market area.

Associate or team contact information: Associate or team contact information can be included only if contact information for the brokerage office is also included.

This includes phone number, website address or social media page, or email or social media identifier.

Because it may not be clear that direct-line or “offsite” telephone numbers reach the Associate rather than the office, such numbers must be clearly identified as a direct line, residence or mobile phone, as the case may be. Affiliate marketing materials cannot contain a home address or any address other than the office address.

BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS | 45

BRAND-ONLY MARKETING Advertising that promotes only the overall Bray & Company organization – and not your personal business – falls into this category. Any marketing that identifies a team or Associate (either directly or indirectly) is not brand-only advertising and must comply with the rules for Bray & Company Affiliate marketing.

Bray & Company reserves the right to prohibit any brand-only advertising that does not serve the best interests of the Bray & Company organization.

Affiliates are encouraged to seek prior approval before pursuing any non-conventional brand-only advertising. Sponsorships and endorsements are not eligible to be brand-only advertising.

46 | BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS

BUSINESS CARDS & LETTERHEAD BUSINESS CARDS & LETTERHEAD Using a standard Bray & Company business card – regardless of division – is an effective way to reinforce and benefit from Bray & Company brand. The designs to the right represent best practices.

Affiliates may also use other designs, but designs must meet all standards for use of the Bray & Company name and marks.

BRAY IDENTITY STANDARDS | 47

DIGITAL MARKETING The rules for internet marketing reflect the same basic rules that apply to all Bray & Company advertising.

This section covers rules for internet and website content, provides helpful advice for developing your internet marketing efforts, and covers special considerations and rules that apply to email addresses and social media identifiers, mobile applications and domain names.

INTERNET CONTENT RULES The rules for traditional advertising also apply to internet advertising, including Affiliates’ social media and webpages. A Bray & Company branded website may not be used to promote a competitor, to advertise agent locator services, to sell nonreal-estate-related advertising on the site, or to offer services or products of an Affiliates other businesses, software or agent locator ventures. In addition, a couple of special considerations exist when Affiliates advertise on the internet. Affiliates must ensure that they and any web service providers they use comply with these requirements: The first page (home page) of any Bray & Company branded website and Bray & Company branded webpages on third-party websites must display (and it’s recommended that sub-pages also display): • The full Bray & Company name, positioned prominently so that customers will know that it (and not the team name or site name) is the name of the brokerage with which they are dealing.

• Contact information for the office, such as the office address, telephone number and email address.

• Domain names that include the Bray & Company mark and are associated with a website that is under construction or inactive, should point to www.brayandco.com (or bring up no content at all).
