BRAND STANDARDS GUIDELINE IDENTITY OVERVIEW.

IDENTITY OVERVIEW.

If you think of one concept when you ∙∙ think of brand – think of it as how our clients see us. ∙∙ While many associate brand with logo, it is our logo – and much more.

It is our office, our documentation, our tagline, our colors, our voice when we answer the phone, our emails we send, the way we dress, our words we use in our conversations, what we say on social media and what others say about us. It is EVERY clue our clients receive on who we are.

We generate new work with new customers.

We can put our clients at ease because they know what we stand for.

Most importantly our brand represents us – just as we represent our brand. It represents each of us in the professional appearance of our materials and ourselves and in our promise to deliver what we have said we will.

We are a well-established Architectural firm that has designed hundreds – if not Brand is simple, but yet so complex. thousands – of innovative and iconic projects throughout Denver metro and Well established brands do not manage Colorado. When you look at our new themselves – a great brand is managed brand we hope you look at it with pride very deliberately, with lots of thought, and truly reflect on our organization, strategy, sweat and aspiration. our time tested client relationships and state of the art design.

So why spend the time and effort to manage our brand?

These brand guidelines are an attempt to help us manage how we present We manage our brand to make sure: ourselves graphically, and we hope that they will be helpful as we move forward ∙∙ We are recognized deliberately as – but as we move forward don’t forget: different from our competition. our real brand is you. ∙∙ We provide motivation and direction for our staff. ∙∙ We are recognized for the work we do.

BRAND STANDARDS GUIDELINE LOGO.

LOGO.

ICON AND TAGLINE The H+L logo consists of a single element for simplicity, the grey H+L icon against a white background, and the typeset tagline “shaping space. shaping lives.” The H+L icon is primarily to be used alone in most applications, however only the tagline should be used in combination with the logo. The tagline represents the positioning of the company and relates directly to the name “H+L”. When used within copy the full statement should read ”H+L Architecture, shaping space. shaping lives.” (Please note lower case, use of bold on “space” and “lives”, and punctuation.)

Use of the logo should be restricted to once per page of any particular document.

The logo should be used at a size that does not overpower the document text or graphics. Any use of the icon contrary to the H+L Graphic Standards should be first approved by the Marketing Department prior to distribution or production.

LOGO COLOR - PMS GREY 10-C AND 100% BLACK The H+L corporate logo is always rendered in PMS Cool Grey 10-c and 100% black and should not be used in any other color. Examples of correct and incorrect logos are shown on the following page. Guidelines for overlapping the logo on color fields, and reversing the tag line are also included. For consistent application and reproduction, the icon of the logo should never be used smaller than 1/2” in height. If you feel there is an instance where the logo icon is to be used smaller than this, please contact: marketing@hlarch.com A minimum border of 0.5” around the H+L logo must be maintained at all times when partnering firm and or consultant logo is included next to ours.

BRAND STANDARDS GUIDELINE COLOR.

COLOR.

COLOR The following color palette has been selected to create a unified look across all locations and product lines. The selection of Blue presents H+L’s stature and longevity in the architecural market, while the green represents our ingenuity and focus on the future. Pantone Matching System (PMS) Master Color swatch chips are available if needed. The swatch chips are similar to “paint chips” and should be used for color matching. Note that these are spot colors. If process printing is needed work with your printer for the best CMYK match using the most up to date PMS swatchbooks or provided color chips.

PRIMARY PALETTE - PMS SOLID COATED (C) Our company colors; Green: PMS 7744-c and Navy blue: PMS 295-c; these are best for the majority of usage company-wide.

Use PMS COATED colors for output that include: ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙

Color copier output and digital printing Desktop printers with fuser agent PowerPoint and electronic media Jobsite signage (depends on output method)

PRIMARY PALETTE - PMS SOLID UNCOATED (U) The best comparable colors to the coated palette have been selected for the uncoated palette using the PMS + Series Solid Coated and Uncoated Formula Guides. For ink printing at a printing company on uncoated paper stock. Use PMS 7744-u for the green and PMS 295-u for the navy blue.

Use PMS UNCOATED colors for output that include: ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙ ∙∙

BRAND STANDARDS GUIDELINE TYPEFACE.

TYPEFACE.

TYPEFACE The H+L brand uses the Avenir family as its main supported typeface. This has been chosen to complement the corporate logo, and with its variety of weights makes it versatile for effective communication. It should be used in all stationery, signage, memo and form applications.

If an alternative is needed for use in substitute of Avenir, please use Ariel Regular or Ariel Bold.

RECOMMENDED USES The preferred format is 10 point Avenir Next LT Pro for most communication.

Throughout this document the uses of these typefaces in the design and layout of communications pieces are specified in detail. This typeface should also be used when formatting daily correspondence, letters, and memos. Heavier weights and larger sizes may be used for titles, headings or lists within the copy. If this typeface is not available, please use 10 point Ariel regular.

The family of the Avenir font is fully available only to the firm officewide, and can be located on the network here: G:\Templates\H+L fonts 2015. If for any reason anyone outside of H+L requests a copy of this font, it can be found for purchase online at: www.fonts.com.

BRAND STANDARDS GUIDELINE PRESENTATION BOARD.

PRESENTATION BOARD.

PRESENTATION BOARD TEMPLATE The consistent use of the H+L brand throughout all presentation materials reinforces the company’s strong and consistent identity.

The following presentation board templates are based off of Architectural standard print sizes: (ARCH-E1) 42” x 30” and (ARC-E2) 36” x 24”. Graphic elements such as the north arrow may be turned off to accomodate large graphic images; i.e. renderings. All other graphic elements such as horizontal division line, board title, project title and logo are to remain in designated areas and at proper scale as shown.

Use white foamcore as a rigid backing for presentation purposes when drymounting boards. This is because paper by its physical nature has a level of opacity, and we want our presentations to always appear visually crisp and bright at all times.

Spacing and physical size of graphic elements within the title block, such as font size and logo size, per Arch ARCH-E1 and ARCH-E2 will vary slightly. Differing board sizes and proportioning of graphics for visual clarity are responsible for this. General spacing of graphic elements is to remain consistent between both templates.

BRAND STANDARDS GUIDELINE PHOTOGRAPHY.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

RESUMES + STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY RESUME IMAGES The H+L people portraits are used in a graphic way, both full color and a nearly black and white image primarily pertaining to our website. Attempting to create similar images in place of this photography only serves to weaken the H+L brand image. Choose only from the images supplied on the Marketing drive. Images of former employees should no longer be used.

We have adopted a more business casual look for our resume portraits.

Recommended attire for both men and women, is a jacket, collared, button down, long-sleeved shirt, solid color, open at the neck, with no tie. Photos should always be taken in Nurture, our controlled photography setting. All photos should be taken in color, and then the vibrance of the photo is to be reduced in Photoshop for the secondary photo. To avoid undue expense as we transition to this new format, all new photos should be taken as needed inside the consistent and controlled environment of Nurture.

STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY A custom stock image library has been created and is managed on the Marketing drive to enable graphic cusomization of various H+L collateral pieces. These collateral peices would include but not be limited to H+L proposals, small format printed materials for practice areas, and interview materials such as banners, boards, and leave behinds. Stock photography should always be of professional quality in clarity and artistic style. Limited use of online image resources such as Google Images is encouraged, and should be used for informal presentation materials only. If you have further questions regarding stock image use, please contact the Marketing Department.

SIGNAGE.

CONSTRUCTION SITE SIGNAGE SITE SIGNAGE Site signage at the standard size of 8’ x 4’ and physical placement on the construction site are imperative to maintaining good visibility and a consistency in H+L brand across all media.

GENERAL RULE The design and dimensions of all rigid construction site signs are to remain standard to ensure visual consistency on all construction sites. The logo, color box, and visual graphics are specifically designed and proportioned for an 8’ x 4’ construction site sign. This requires larger physical dimensions and more detailed information with large logo, imagery, and partner/contractor logos to ensure good visibility.

CONSTRUCTION SITE BANNER A non-rigid construction site banner at the correct size and placement are imperative to maintaining a consistent H+L brand across all media. The banner is to remain the standard H+L green and white: PMS 7744-c (green) with white logo icon, tagline and website address. Clear zip ties will be provided for your convenience when securing the banner to the fence. Please send all requests for construction site banners and zip ties to marketing@hlarch.com.

GENERAL RULE The dimensions of any construction site banner are to remain somewhat flexible to fit the needs of a particular job site application. The logo, color, and graphics are often more suitable for street level linked fencing and signs.

ALTERNATE PUBLICITY EVENT SIGNS AND BANNERS For all project publicity events (i.e., Ground Breaking, Topping Out, VIP Tours, Ribbon Cuttings, Media Visits, Grand Opening Parties, Golf Tournaments, etc.), we will display a small rigid sign displayed on an easel or banner in a prominent place at the event.
