Brand Book | Introduction Branding is more than a logo or a tagline – it’s based on perception. It’s the communication of values, characteristics, and unique attributes of your organization - it’s a complete story. The brand book holds all of the chapters to that story. It’s a living document that will evolve over time as the brand matures. At its core, the book identifies the SLAY Basketball’s key attributes, brand story and creative identity marks. The brand book sets distinct guidelines for maintaining the SLAY Basketball brand identity throughout various aspects of the organization.

Brand Archetype | The Hero Archetypes are familiar characters that fictitiously represent a brand. They help define the brand and breath life into it. Each archetype has its own set of characteristics, values, attitudes and behaviors.

PROMISE: Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

CORE DESIRE: To prove worth through difficult action GOAL: To exert mastery in a way that improves the world FEAR: Weakness, letting people down or quitting STRATEGY: Become as competent as possible GIFT: Courage MOTIVATION: Mastery The hero archetype often presents itself in the form of a leader. The brand exists to help athletes and provide elite training to develop strength and discipline in basketball.

The marketing of the hero brand will often include bold phrases and images to convey powerful messaging.

The SLAY Basketball brand wants to challenge you, to inspire you to pursue achievement, no matter what it takes. Images incorporating strong colors and bold shapes are frequently used in the hero’s marketing efforts.
