STRATEGIC BRAND GUIDELINES FLY helps people connect with friends, cool surroundings, and the natural and urban environment. It’s where you’ll meet the real version of yourself. In short, the brand promise describes the emotional benefit our riders derive from the experience of our boards. It’s important to keep this promise in mind when writing copy and designing materials. Living up to our brand promise is how we ensure consistency between what we want the brand to be, how our customers experience it, and how they tell other people about it. We must recognize that this brand isn’t about logos, colours or fonts. These items don’t define us. We’ve crafted them to represent us, but our brand is actually the property of the public and their perception. It’s about people, it always has been. It’s about creating a place for relationships to grow – for conversations to happen. As we move forward, let’s recognize that this brand is alive, it’s fragile and still growing. The logo gives a face to the real body – the people of FLY. Treat the logo how you would treat those people – with care, respect and intentionality. This set of guidelines are designed to help you understand the details of curating a consistent visual identity. We are all in this together. Honor these guidelines by partnering with us to build a better community through harnessing our internal energy.

LOGO SYSTEM This system includes a series of graphic elements used at various times to create a comprehensive, cohesive and recognizable identity that represents FLY publicly.
PRIMARY LOGO / BRANDMARK An Icon is a quick, intentional, visual mark that helps deliver an immediate brand signature to the viewer. Sometimes icons are used as symbolic marks that can represent the company and their services. Other times the icon is just a simple mark that identifies the owner. Other times it represents the values that the company stands by. This is the heart and soul of our identity. When in doubt, always use this icon. This is our go-to logo. This icon must be uniform throughout all of its applications. The graphic integrity of the icon and identity elements should be governed by the consistent use of established standards and observed in all communications with our vendors, affiliates, and the general public. Alterations to the icon are prohibited.

PREFERRED USAGE The preferred use of the signature is in full colour. If this is not possible then on a pure colour or on a primary colour background. This application of the logo should always be considered as the first design option.

CONVEYING THE RIGHT MOOD: IMAGERY AND COLOURS
MOODBOARDS Moodboards are an important step in the process of building the brand. They must elicit feelings, environment, colours and typography that can help later to define all the necessary brand elements. Fly brings, at its core, many concepts that range from having control over your life and the pure joy of adrenaline. We also try to stick to the smooth and clean sensation brought by defying and taking over gravity laws.
