Brand Identity guidelines Brand identity guidelines are a written manual that explains how a brand should be used internally and externally. They provide very specific instructions about how tangible elements of a brand should be used in all forms of branded communications — from business cards to ads, packaging to signage, and everything in between. In other words, by following specific brand guidelines, the brand can leave its fingerprint across all communications touch points. A great brand guidelines manual can ensure that the brand is always portrayed consistently and accurately, so consumers have the opportunity to develop trust in the brand and its promise. The strongest brands surround consumers with branded experiences so people can self-select how they want to interact with the brand.

1.4 Brand Typefaces ROBOTO The brand typeface is Roboto. It is the primary typeface used in all communication materials. Various type sizes and weights can be used to establish a clear hierarchy of information.

Roboto cannot be substituted by other typeface for any sort of corporate communication. In case one’s computer does not have Roboto, it can be downloaded from Google Fontshttps://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto

ROBOTO SLAB The brand secondary typeface is Roboto Slab. It is the secondary typeface used in all communication materials. Various type sizes and weights can be used to establish a clear hierarchy of information. The ‘Stanza’ brand name is written in Roboto slab.

In case one’s computer does not have Roboto Slab, it can be downloaded from Google Fontshttps://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Slab

Qualities of Roboto Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn’t compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types.

Preferred casing Uppercase and lowercase styling in headlines and call outs support the brand warmth and friendliness.

1.5 Safe zones A logo is the embodiment of the brand. It is the brand simply summed up in one tiny, neat little package. Therefore, the logo must at all times be perfectly legible and without obstructions.

For this reason, a minimum area of breathing room around the logo must be maintained that allows it to breathe and shine. Maintain clear space (safe zone) around the logo to protect the logo from distracting graphics or typography.

Measure clear space by the height of the brackets in the Stanza logo, for both horizontal and vertical space around the wordmark.

The Stanza logos (primary and secondary), and all of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s variations, must at all times have the clear space as specified (unless the bracket form is being used as a graphical element and not the logo). This rule must be maintained as it best suits the design of these logos. Never allow typography or other elements to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;invadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the logo. Never redraw or alter the logo, including the placement and size relationship of its letter or spark symbol.

1.6 Minimum sizes DIGITAL USE

16px

Favicon Favicons are miniaturized storefront signs that give brands an opportunity to attract attention and stand out from the crowd. They are the 16x16 pixel icons located in a web browserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s address bar. If companies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a favicon, the browserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generic default icon will be next to the URL.

70px

150px

Favicons need to work within the extreme size constraints of the web address bar and simplest boldest forms are immediately recognizable. Hence, using the secondary logo as the favicon for the Stanza website: www.stanzaliving.com.

1.7 Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts The logo is a very important part of the brand image, and there has been a lot of time spent and effort put in into carefully crafting it to be a perfect embodiment of the brand. One needs to be weary when using the logo- not to alter, tweak, mutilate, or take any personal creative freedom that breaks the specific rules set out in the guidelines.

The following are merely a few examples of practices that would violate the logo (applies to both primary and secondary, unless specified) and ultimately the Stanza Living brand; the only right way to use the logo is as mentioned in the logo usage guidelines.

Visual Elements STANZA BRACKETS The Stanza brackets can be used as a visual element for various illustrations and texts. It has both aesthetic and functional aspects to it. The brackets in the logo represent the brand being an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;end-to-endâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; solution provider. They act as containers of safe-keepers of everything that they enclose. Also, they can be used as elements to emphasize and focus on certain things. In all, the Stanza brackets are the most important and distinct feature of the entire brand language.

In terms of usage, they can be used in any form (allowed to flip, rotate, reflect and resize) as long as the proportions of the brackets are maintained. The brackets can only be in the Stanza brand colors.
