BRAND ELEMENTS | IMAGERY
Brand Elements Imagery Photos present quick yet powerful messages; a picture is worth a thousand words. This document offers carefully selected photographs, logos, and images to convey our brand messaging. Are we turtlenecks or ties, simple or complex, natural or contrived? Observing our message conveyed through visual brand elements is foundational to crafting and evolving favorable, actionable consumer sentiment and perceptions. While messaging may be presented simply as a visual image, it does not exclude taste, experience, scent, or sight, evoking a positive emotion, feeling, or memory associated with Playa Largo Resort. Combining and presenting our multiple elements into a cohesive, planned presentation of our best and ideal persona is the job of marketers. Supporting brand efforts ensures solid and sustainable results.

It is so famous that it is an option for Kindle e-readers. 15

Claiming and using the imagery of a “pearl” brings to the imagination a rare thing of great beauty; a treasure found; a priceless jewel produced by nature itself. The design of the Tagline was derived from a font named Johann Sparkling. It was created as a perfect imitation of the handwriting of an educated person of the 18th century. The Tagline usage is not mandatory, however helpful when used appropriately on Resort communications. Logo Formats: Logos may be used in the brand colors, black or reversed.

Inspiration for the Playa Largo Resort & Spa combination mark logo was found in nature, and it is often a “random” organization that renders stunning beauty in simple complexity. The derived essence celebrates nature and its beauty through naturally occurring elements artistically ordered into three components: the Starfish, the circular “expanding” Mosaic, and the fonts selected to render the resort name. Logo formats: Logos may be used in the brand colors, black or reversed. All may be used on appropriate photo backgrounds as necessary. Unless the Corporate Managing Creative Team agrees, only the approved color combination should be used. Solid PMS 2945C and White
