PAN AM Brand Book

Pan Am Our story In an effort to better understand where the brand can go, we went back into the rich and colorful history of the Pan Am brand.

In our research we discovered that a combination of bad business decisions, oil crisis and a changing understanding of air travel led to the downfall of the brand as a world airlines.

Pan Am new opportunities Although this company ceased operations December 4, 1991, this airline was iconic for many decades and was even made into a TV series recently. This airline made some poor decisions but had great brand loyalty even as it went bankrupt. Nostalgia could be opportunity this brand needs to get back on it’s feet.

We envision the new Pan Am to be a travel company and destination resort for those souls wanting to explore the cultures of the world.

The Pan Am travel experience will fully integrate local cultures to create immersive experiences that will last a lifetime. The destinations will be carefully chosen for safety and the opportunity to maximize experience.

At the state side resorts we will create the culture for those unable to travel overseas. Careful attention to architecture, foods and traditions will be crafted into large immersive environments. Regional craftsman will be brought in to aid in creating an authentic experience.

Whenever possible native languages will be spoken to ensure a truly immersive environment.

Where we were

Where we are headed

A brand grid is a tool to visual what makes a brand unique.

You compile images that show a relationship such as, “if Pan Am were a piece of architecture, what would it look like.� In this way we were able to visualize where we were, and where we want to be.

The feel has shifted from an airline focus to that of a cultural exchange company focused on creating opportunities for cultures to interact at a core level.

Beyond imagery

Enabling cultural exchange

We were able to boil the brand down to a series of only three words that represent the mission that we are trying to achieve.

Pan Am Logo development After we had some thoughts on imagery and had spent some time looking at the competition it was time to start creating an identity.

To create a brand that resonates we have to have to bring a series of problem solving techniques to the table.

We had to visualize what Pan Am is and how to distill that into a visual identity that can be used across a large spectrum of mediums.

We normally have many directions that are created as part of the process but we will only include one direction in this presentation in an effort to economize on time and resources.

The beginnings

15

First sketches

Early refinement

We started with an old school graphite pencil and a sketch pad to begin the process of creation.

Once some directions are established for the logo we move to the computer to refine the sketch. This allows us to use fonts and create vector shapes that are much more readily transformed.

Final Logo Concept

16

Final adjustments Once on the computer a couple concepts started to get final adjustments and a couple new ideas emerged.

PAN AM

The final Pan Am logo concept After the final tweaks were made we decided that the luggage stack was the most versatile idea.

This concept not only give us a solid logo, the design works well in all of the colors chosen for the identity and it also very well reversed.

The suitcase is usable as an element on its own without breaking the system and will also work as a repeated pattern for textiles an many other uses.

Pan Am Brand Standards The guidelines for a brand are a necessity when establishing or maintaining a brand. They offer a guide to help in consistent implementation of logos colors and type to ensure that our staff and clientele has a consistent on brand experience.

Strict adherence to standards are important and this guide should be used in any visual work being done for Pan Am. Included is an implementation guide for the primary business needs and uniforms for the park or promotional events.

The logo

This is the final logo that identifiers how close it can be to other objects or the edge of a page.

The minimum size for the standard logo is being shown. The logo can adapt when the size gets too small to show details.

The light blue marks the space that should be left as white space when using the logo.

The logotype The combination of letters and absence of the illustrative portion of the logo is for use when a picture might be deemed inappropriate. Such incidents might include where the tall version of the logo does not fit as a design element or wear text is the best option for identifying the brand.

For strong horizontal uses when the suitcase and logo type are used together.

Nothing Closer

The logotype Here the logo is shown in black and white reversed, when using grays or colors.

The logo can be shown in any of the approved colors but the stickers on the suitcase should always be white so as not to create an off brand color combination.

Colors

Primary font family

In order to assure consistency in color we chose not to include a spot color as part of the identity.

The approved font family is Helvetica Nue LT. This family will give many options for type usage and compliments the display face well.

We chose a group of five colors to give plenty of flexibility in application while still staying on brand.

The tints of all the colors are approved for use except red.

Red will often look pink in a tint and so red is not approved as a tint color.

Primary Typeface Helvetica Nue LT STD Light

Helvetica Nue was chosen because it is the refined and most modern version of helvetica. This font works quite well reversed and has been found to be exceptionally readable in many instances.

Secondary fonts

Secondary Typeface

For the secondary font we have gone with the font that was used in the logo itself. The font is an all capital letter set limiting it’s flexibility and readability.

Only use this font for titles or subtitles. This font should never be used for body copy.

Pan Am logo Applications This is a collection of some suggested applications for the brand.

For park and event uniforms we suggest the inclusion of the native national flag of the wearer along with an identifier as to what languages they speak. Careful attention must be paid to the national flags because we do not want to insult any of our guests.

Hats are not approved for wear in the parks nor is the use of mirrored sunglasses. Employees must appear approachable and friendly. Color choices should also reflect this approachability.

26

Primary corporate business needs The stationary and business card package is designed to change colors based on divisions within the company.

The envelopes are security lined with a matching color.

Business cards have a paper core that matches the core color for that division. This does make the cards a bit thicker than normal cards but adds a unique feel and high quality high end look.

Other logo uses

27

Polo Shirts The polo shirt is a staple for many companies. The polos at Pan Am are meant to be worn as work uniforms.

Care must be taken in the fitting of the polos for either sex wearing them. The polo is often one of the first impressions our guests have.

Regional flags are positioned on left sleeves.

ID Cards The ID cards clearly identify staff to each other and to guests even if the staff is wearing a regional costume.
