~Mark Usage~ The Look is Light


Rules to Live by: The look is sun-drenched and never dark. The logo needs room to breathe. Surrounding text should respect our personal space.

Logo:

The Name and Logo may be used separately. Approved combinations shown to the right.

Colors:

Logo may be used in Pantone Teal, White, and varying shades of grey.

Placement:

The logo may be used over photography. (Refer to Page X.) While photography may overlap, additional text should allow a 1� or 50% (logo width) margin at all times.

Notes:

In keeping with a softer, sun-drenched feel of the brand, rich black should be avoided. Black should be used only when necessary for high contrast labeling and signage. Logo should never be used in white on rich black background. The darkest grey background for a reversed out logo should be 50% black.

Photography should utilize point of view.

Scenery is key.
