GENERAL INFO
The importance of identity: How to use these guidelines Our appearance in print, at meetings, at presentations and at events forms our public face. Together, these brand applications influence the way we are perceived by our key audiences. We therefore need to ensure that the way we project ourselves is consistent. These guidelines have been separated in to two distinct sections (Corporate & Youth) to help give you an idea of the way we speak to our different audiences. They include information, guidance and examples to help you achieve the desired level of consistent. Our brand is at the heart of what we do. Let’s treasure it.
CORPORATE Logo
Our logo The dance4life logo is our signature, at the heart of what we do and may not be altered in any way. It has been created specifically for visual impact and may not be substituted by any typeface which may appear similar. It should always be used in the colours indicated in these guidelines. Where possible we always recommend using the dance4life primary logo
CORPORATE Logo strapline
start dancing, stop aids As well as the dance4Life primary logo, we also have a strapline which can be used with it. See above how this is done. We use this logo when there is no further information about dance4life.
CORPORATE Logo
How and where to use the iconic ‘4’ The iconic ‘4’ can be used as a graphic element/device or a standalone icon, as long as it is used together with the dance4life primary logo. This means that whenever you use the iconic ‘4’ somewhere, the primary logo also has to be present. However, for applications that require the primary logo to size down below 32 mm wide, we recommend using the above the iconic ‘4’.
CORPORATE Typography
Typography daily use For daily communication (emails, letters, documents etc) we use Verdana 10 spacing 1,15. Typography print materials For print materials (brochures, annual reports etc) we use ITC Avant Garde Gothic.
in writing! dance4life in writing! Lowercase is always used whenever writing the name dance4life (also at the beginning of a sentence), an event or programme linked to the brand dance4life (not at the beginning of a sentence). Just a couple of examples of this are an agents4change, a programme such as skills4life or a dance4life event.
CORPORATE Colors
Corporate colours The corporate colours (red and white) are some of the most instantly recognisable elements of the dance4life visual identity. The corporate colours are as much a part of the corporate identity as the corporate logo – and are equally mandatory. If the red PMS is not recognised by a printer, PMS 186 can be used.
YOUTH Colors
Youth colours The secondary colours (Black, Grey, Yellow & Orange) should be used sparingly and should not overpower the dance4life primary colours. This secondary colour palette gives variation and the brighter yellow and orange bring a sense of energy and vitality when communicating to young people.
