THE PURPOSE OF BRAND IDENTITY The purpose of this document is to help us work to establish consistent communications that build Galloway’s reputation in the many communities we serve. Adherence to these guidelines will aid us in creating materials that speak to our audiences while maintaining one, unified voice.

Questions should be directed by email to Galloway Corporate Office at marketing@galloway.com.

MISSION, VISION, VALUES MISSION Our goal is to provide equestrians with quality products to help them get the most out of their riding experience.

VISION We strive to create an environment that supports riders of all skill levels; whether they’re professionals or hobbyists, we want all equestrians to have a positive shopping experience that helps them get the most out of their equestrian sports.

VALUES Galloway is driven by honest experience; we value giving our customers products that we know will be the most benefical for them and their horses, based on our own experiences.

LOGO AND LOGO USAGE In order to keep Galloway’s brand identity strong and consistent, our logo should only be used in ways that follow our brand standards. Deviation is not permitted.

Examples of logo usage that are and are not permissable can be found here.

BRANDMARK Symbol Galloway’s brandmark is composed out of three elements: the symbol, the logotype, and the tagline.

Logotype Tagline

LOCKUP OPTIONS: MAIN For versatility, there are various ways the three elements can be locked up together. In order to preserve the brand identity, they can only be put together in the ways shown here.

The main lockup consists of the symbol, logotype, and the tagline.

LOCKUP OPTIONS: SECONDARY For secondary lockups, the elements can be put together as follows; the symbol (on its own), or the logotype and the tagline.

CLEARSPACE X

X

Clearspace is the area surrounding a logo that must be kept empty.

X

These clearspace diagrams have been put in place to keep Galloway’s brand identity clean and legible.

The diagrams are to be reffered to for all of the lockup options that Galloway offers. More space than offered by the clearspace diagrams may be used if the design allows/it’s appropriate.

The clearspace is the squared width of the horse’s ears. The space between the horse and the logotype and the logotype and the tagline, however, is a third of that squared width.

C O L O R A N D A P P L I C AT I O N S From the warm browns of a saddle’s worn leather, to the dark green forest they ride through, all of our colors reflect our customers as much as Galloway itself. Accented by the soft blue and tan of saddle pads and martingales, its these deep colors that convey both the lifestyle and passion of a Galloway equestrian.

Our color palette was chosen with clear purpose.

Variations from the following guidelines are not allowed under any circumstances.

17

COLOR PALETTE For it’s brandmark, Galloway’s lockups should only be shown primarily in dark green (hex #102b26) or white (hex #ffffff), but blue (hex #7595a1), and red (#652b1e) can also be used.

The entire color palette may be used for all of the remaining aspects of Galloway’s identity, as long as there is no confliction with its brand standards.

CMYK: 83, 57, 69, 69 RGB: 16, 43, 38 Pantone 5535 C Hex #: 102b26

CMYK: 0, 0, 0, 0 RGB: 255, 255, 255 Pantone White Hex #: ffffff

CMYK: 58, 32, 31, 1 RGB: 117, 149, 161 Pantone 5425 C Hex #: 7595a1

CMYK: 8, 16, 16, 0 RGB: 231, 211, 203 Pantone 482 C Hex #: e7d3cb

CMYK: 13, 0, 3, 0 RGB: 218, 240, 244 Pantone 642 C Hex #: daf0f4

CMYK: 36, 82, 84, 50 RGB: 101, 43, 30 Pantone 483 C Hex #: 652b1e

18

LOGO COLORS Galloway’s logo may be displayed as follows in the brandmark colors. Only one color may be used in each lockup. Any of the brand colors shown here and on the following page (defined in the next paragraph) may used on any of the lockup options.

However, using dark green (hex #102b26) or white (#ffffff) is preferred, specifically for the main and secondary logos. Red (#652b1e) or blue (hex #7595a1) may be used when appropriate.

Please note, the red rectangle featured above is only present so that the white lockup can be seen.

This should NOT be implemented.

22

BACKGROUNDS When using backgrounds, legibility should always be top priority. Red (#652b1e) and blue (hex #7595a1) logos should never be used over background images.

Primarily, the logo should be shown in white (#ffffff), though dark green logos (hex #102b26) can be used if legibility allows.

If the background image is complex/when there is a concern of legibility, a filter of the dark green at 37% opacity should be utalized.

Images that do not interfere with legibility do not need the filter, though it can still be used if it is appropriate for the design and/or if it adds a contrasting value between the image and the logo.

SYSTEM TYPOGRAPHY Galloway’s typography is focused on being modern, strong, and legible. Our typefaces are meant to be both quickly readable and easily able to be printed on multiple surfaces/textures.

The following pages display the typefaces that Galloway uses for all of its branding. Under no circumstances should these typefaces ever be altered or replaced.

25

SYSTEM TYPOGRAPHY All print and web materials should utalize AkzidenzGrotesk BQ Condensed and Avenir.

Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ can be used for headers and subheaders. Preferably, it should be in all majascules, though it is appropriate to be shown in miniscules at times.
