Regency Beauty Institute Brand Book

REGENCY BRAND BOOK


Beauty School. Reinvented. School at Regency is different. We went beyond a tablet to create a custom program designed to meet the needs of our creative, connected students — free from textbooks, lectures and tests.1 Welcoming. Media-rich. Hands-on. A chance to explore — in a community just as crazy about beauty as they are. That’s the Regency experience.

Use the Regency Brand Book as a guide — or map — to fully articulate the Regency identity in all that we write, design and create. All representations of the Regency brand must be approved by Marketing. Please send pdf proofs to regency@regency.edu.

We replace traditional textbooks, lectures and tests with illustrated guides and animated shorts, film scenarios and comprehension questions designed to help you learn. Successful completion of knowledge and skills assessments is required.

our brand


WE’RE FOR BEAUTY.™ Our calling is powerful. We’re for our students. And helping them embrace their creativity in a career that’s more than a paycheck.


here’s what we believe We’re for following our hearts. For taking our own path. For being our own, beautiful kind of different.

WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. We’re for seeing and bringing out the beauty in others. For making someone’s day. For before and happily ever after.

WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. We’re for red, raven, platinum and ombre. For clean-cut, punk and everything in between. For doing away with stereotypes.

WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. We’re for asking “why?” Why shouldn’t a career making people feel beautiful be as respected as one keeping them healthy?

WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. And we’re for you. For your style of learning. For a place where you can truly shine. For embracing that beautiful, awesome thing that makes you, you.

SAY IT LOUD. SAY IT PROUD. Regency brings together an innovative community of creators. They design looks that inspire – looks that challenge. They are creative. On-trend. And curious. So is Regency’s brand voice.


our brand voice OUR TONE AND VOICE Our brand voice captures the excitement students feel when they imagine the opportunities cosmetology offers. It’s energetic. Our voice inspires prospective students to pursue their creativity in a career that means more than a paycheck. Working as a professional in the beauty industry offers the chance to make a difference. That’s empowering – like our voice. The copy is simple. Because simplicity is beautiful. Understated. Not assuming. The editorial structure relies on short sentences to add energy to every idea. Our voice is conversational. It relates to and talks with our students — both present and future.

our copy style UNCONVENTIONAL SENTENCE STARTS In Regency’s digital and print copy, it is common practice to selectively begin sentences with a conjunction or certain prepositions. “And,” “but” and “because” are all acceptable ways to begin sentences. This technique positions our voice as fresh, energetic and conversational. Beginning an important idea unconventionally also serves to create a ‘pause’ between the former idea and the new one thus highlighting it. This technique works particularly well for headings and subheadings. Ex. We’re for Big Style. And Big Dreams. Ex. Stand Out. And Start Making Your Mark.

ONE WORD SENTENCES “Each sentence must have a subject and verb.” Not anymore. We use sentences comprised of a single word to add emphasis to stand-alone ideas and insert a staccato rhythm into the copy. Ex. O ur network includes national chains, hundreds of salons and other cosmetology employers. “Share beauty. Together.”

ACTION-ORIENTED SENTENCES Cosmetology is full of energy. So is our written style. We write active sentences often using an implied-you subject to further shorten each idea and call attention to the action. Ex. Mix and mingle.

our copy style LISTS OF THREES Three words each followed by a period can be used as a heading or technique to build momentum within a body paragraph and create visual variety for readers. Ex. Makeover. Camera. Scholarship. Ex. The Studio Luma™ program – developed exclusively for Regency – goes beyond a tablet. Not just a digital textbook and a handful of apps, it transforms the way you learn. Interactive. Hands-on. Visual.

COSMETOLOGY-SPECIFIC KEYWORDS Some industry-specific words have a certain spelling in the popular lexicon. Here is how we spell them. Hairstyle

Makeover

Pin curl

Makeup (MAC, Urban Decay)

Hairstylist

Skincare

Blow-dry

Photoshoot

Haircut

Updo

Nailcare

Haircolor

Cornrows

Leave-in

Comb-out

Fingerwave

CAPITALIZATION Capitalize these elements. Positions In external messaging, the capitalization of positions is up to the discretion of Marketing. Classroom When classroom can be used interchangeably with Performance Floor, it should be capitalized. The capitalization of classroom is situationally dependent.

our copy style REPORTING TIME AND DATES There is no space between the numeral and time of day designator. The am and pm is always lowercase. When possible, all times are written with three digits and a colon. Like this: 7:00pm–8:00pm

Sometimes this: 7pm

Never this: 7 pm

No superscripts should be used in writing dates. Like this: December 6

Never this: December 6th

PHONE NUMBERS Do not include a 1 in front of our 800 number.

Extensions should be abbreviated with EXT.

URLs AND EMAILS ADDRESSES When writing urls and email addresses, no capitalization should be used. The ‘www’ should be omitted from web addresses except when the www. is necessary to link within PDF documents. Like this: regency.edu

Never this: www.regency.edu

AND VS. & The option to spell out ‘and’ should always be used rather than including the ampersand.

SPACING Double spacing should never be used after a period and before the beginning of the next sentence.

« BACK TO TOOLKIT

OUR BRAND » Our Copy Style

12


our copy style HYPHENATION If two/three words are functioning as an adjective modifying a noun or multi-word adverb, they should be hyphenated. Some examples are: Full-time

Make-up (day, hours)

Up-and-comers

12-course

Part-time

Hands-in-hair

Hands-on

On-trend

Exceptions: While these words may resemble a modifying pair, they are not and should not be hyphenated. On track

Time frame

Off track

On time

xception: If “on time” is being used to modify a noun such as “on-time service,” E it is a multi-word modifying phrase and should be hyphenated.

EM DASH We use the em dash for pacing. The lengthened mark forces a break in the flow of the sentence adding a rhythmic element to longer constructions or just before a key word. Ex. M akeup brush and hairspray at the ready — A picture of your tousled mermaid waves and glitter-dusted eyelids might just be worth $5,000. As with all of these stylistic techniques, moderation is key.

COMMA USAGE Regency does not use the oxford comma. It should only be added in instances of ambiguity.

identity standards


FIRST IMPRESSIONS Our logo creates the first impression of Regency. From there, our brand is built. That’s why our logo is stylized but personal. It’s dynamic and unique – just like our identity.


our logo PRIMARY LOGO Our logo symbolizes a softer, more friendly and fun approach to visually representing the Regency brand. Text paired with the logomark creates the complete Regency logotype. The shears are dynamic and are a subtle nod to a capital R. Any promotional material or in-campus resources, signage and collateral must feature our primary logo, which always lists our company name as Regency Beauty Institute.

PRIMARY – BEAUTY INSTITUTE

ALTERNATE LOGO When the logo appears on a white background, choose the primary version. Application may dictate the need for another version. All acceptable versions are included below. STACKED – BEAUTY INSTITUTE

CORPORATE LOGO In creating materials for Headquarters, it is acceptable to use the Regency Corporate Logo where ‘Beauty Institute’ has been dropped. REGENCY CORPORATE LOGO

logo usage LOGO FILE TYPES Depending on the usage – print, online, presentation – certain file types will render best. Consult the chart below to determine the most appropriate logo file type for your intended usage.

FOR PRINT

.eps

Encapsulated PostScript files (.eps) are the preferred format for printed pieces. As a vector image, it can be converted to any size without changing the quality of the image. Designers and printers using Adobe Illustrator can manipulate the file size correctly.

.tif

Tagged Image File Format (.tif or .tiff) is used as an image file in print applications. These should be used at their original size and resolution, but can also be modified to a smaller size and resolution without a change in the image quality.

.pdf

Portable Document Format (.pdf) files, unless otherwise specified, are typically low resolution files used for viewing only. If they are to be used for printing, make certain that the pdf file was created at a minimum of 300 dpi.

FOR WEB

.gif .png .jpg .ai .indd .psd « BACK TO TOOLKIT

Graphical Interchange Format (.gif) files are created for web-based images. These files are formatted for the web, specifically because they are limited to 256 colors. This is perfect for on-screen viewing, but not appropriate for printed pieces. They also offer some unique features to web programmers. Portable Network Graphics (.png) files are image files used for the web. These files can be resized to a smaller resolution or size without change in quality and also offer some unique features to web programmers. .png files have the capability to be saved with a transparent background. This is a perfect file type for logos on the web or any interactive media. jpeg (or .jpg) image files, named after the Joint Photographics Expert Group, are full color image files ideal for webbased use. However, once a .jpeg image is created it should remain at its original size and resolution. If a different size is required, a .tiff file (see above) should be used to achieve this.

FOR THE PROS Adobe Illustrator Document, a file format used by professional designers and printers. (This is usually the original file format of a logo). Adobe InDesign Document, a page layout file format used by professional designers and printers.

Adobe Photoshop Document, an image file used by professional designers and printers.

logo usage LOGO ADHERENCE We’re all for creative expression. But if something looks great to begin with, why change it? That’s how we feel about our logo. Our logo is a symbol of our identity. Altering the design, color or proportion diminishes its effectiveness.

DO NOT ADJUST THE COLOR.

DO NOT ADJUST THE PROPORTION.

DO NOT RE-ARRANGE THE CONFIGURATION OF THE LOGO.

DO NOT ADJUST THE HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL SCALE.

logo specifications CLEAR FIELD The Regency logo should always have a minimum buffer of white space surrounding it. The space should be the same height as the “g” in the word Regency within the logo. This “breathing room” must extend to a minimum of the same dimensions on all sides, whether on white or the Regency purple background.

THE “G” INDICATES THE MINIMUM WHITE SPACE.

MINIMUM SIZE To ensure our logo is readable and recognizable, please follow the minimum width requirement below for reproduction in print or online. If the logo is under 1.5” wide and we can legally allow for it, the Beauty Institute portion of the name is dropped.

trademark guidelines PROTECTING OUR BRAND The trademark symbol is a legal means to protect words and phrases central to the Regency brand. Trademarking a word or phrase provides notice to competitors that the word or phrase is protected and that its use by others in marketing messaging is restricted.

OUR TRADEMARKS Trademarks used by the Regency brand should always be italicized and appear with the ® or ™ symbol, depending on the mark. The most commonly used Regency trademarks are below and should appear with the following paired marks: STAR Student Training and Rewards®

GoCosmo!™

Regency Guest Rewards®

Depending on readability, GoCosmo!™ may also be written using the following variations:

Regency STAR Program® STAR Program® SalonPartners®

Go Cosmo™ GoCosmo™ Go Cosmo!™ GoCosmo!™

We’re for Beauty™ Simply Start™

CAMBIO TRADEMARKS Studio Luma™, filmbook™ and Lecture Free Learning™ are trademarks of Cambio Education, LLC, our technology partner. Credit must always be given when using the marks. When giving credit, specify the marks used and reference ownership by Cambio Education, LLC.

« BACK TO TOOLKIT

IDENTITY STANDARDS » Trademark Guidelines

21


trademark guidelines ADJECTIVES NOT NOUNS Our trademarks should be used as adjectives not nouns. Do not use the trademark as a noun itself. This means the mark should always be accompanied by a descriptor such as “program”. One way to determine whether the rule is being followed is to simply remove the trademark from the sentence. If a complete and grammatically correct sentence remains, then the trademark is being used properly. “Network” or “program” should be used alongside SalonPartners®. Example: Join our SalonPartners® program. Incorrect usage: Become a SalonPartner®. In this case, salon partner is functioning as a noun. The registered mark is not needed and is misrepresenting the trademark. “Program” should always be used in conjunction with Studio Luma™. Example: That’s the Studio Luma™ program. “App” or “curriculum” should always be used in conjunction with filmbook™. Example: A filmbook™ curriculum OR the filmbook™ app

EXCEPTION You do not need to include a descriptor if the trademark stands alone in a title or tagline. Lecture Free Learning™ is an example of a tagline.

INDICATE THE TRADEMARK ON FIRST MENTION AND IN PROMINENT USE The ® or ™ must be included the first time the trademarked word is used on a page or spread. After that, subsequent mentions of the trademarked word or phrase do not need to include the ® or ™. When in doubt, it is better to err on using the symbol more frequently than less.

« BACK TO TOOLKIT

IDENTITY STANDARDS » Trademark Guidelines

22


trademark guidelines MORE DO’S AND DON’TS DO: Style “filmbook™” using all lowercase letters. DO: Mark Studio Luma™, filmbook™ and Lecture Free Learning™ with a ™ not ® as they are not yet fully registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. DO: Use italics to visually differentiate Studio Luma™, filmbook™ and Lecture Free Learning™ from the surrounding text. DO: Use the ® or ™ symbol on any prominent use of the mark.

DON’T: Modify the marks to make them plural or possessive. Incorrect: filmbook’s™ advantages are clear. Correct: The advantages of the filmbook™ app are clear. DON’T: Italicize “program” when coupled with Studio Luma™. Incorrect: Regency offers the Studio Luma™ program. Correct: Regency offers the Studio Luma™ program. DON’T: Say, “Come to Regency for Lecture Free Learning™.” DON’T: Use Studio Luma™ or filmbook™ as nouns. Incorrect: Experience Studio Luma™ and filmbook™ at Regency. Correct: Experience the Studio Luma™ program and filmbook™ app at Regency.

SOME FONTS ARE JUST OUR TYPE. Our visual style extends beyond our brand colors and logo to include typeface. The Regency fonts echo the message consistent in our design and color scheme: We are a welcoming, forward-thinking company that leans toward a clean, timeless aesthetic.


typography FONT USAGE Gotham and Source Sans Pro are our fonts that we use in all print materials. Gotham is primarily used for headlines and sub-heads in all caps. It is also used for call-outs and informational graphics. It is a classic, highly-designed sans-serif font. Source Sans Pro is a stylish, easy-to-read font that is primarily used for body text. We also use Source Sans as a flexible option for subheads. Since Gotham isn’t available on the web, Montserrat is a close cousin. It is a sans-serif typeface that adds a nice separation between the body copy and the main messaging. Perfect as a display font, it conveys a modern, urban tone to emphasize headlines and prominent type.

BROCHURE

We’re for following our hearts. For taking our own path. For being our own, beautiful kind of different. WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. We’re for seeing and bringing out the beauty in others. For making someone’s day. For before and happily ever after. WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. We’re for red, raven, platinum and ombre. For clean-cut, punk and everything in between. For doing away with stereotypes. WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. We’re for asking “why?” Why shouldn’t a career making people feel beautiful be as respected as one keeping them healthy? WE’RE FOR BEAUTY. And we’re for you. For your style of learning. For a place where you can truly shine. For embracing that beautiful, awesome thing that makes you, you.

WE’REFORBEAUTY

WE’REFOR school reinvented. that’s the regency way.
