1 BRAND STORY EXPLANATION OF OUR BRAND IDENTITY
JOY OF MOTION DANCE CENTER was founded in 1976 on the principle that
Dance is for EveryoneTM. Our brand identity conveys this core belief through the use of vibrant, gender-neutral colors, modern and playful typefaces, representation of all types of people in our marketing materials and on our website, and a personable and colloquial brand voice. The brush stroke motif in our brand identity represents creative movement. A paintbrush moves through space to make an artistic mark the same way that a body moves through space to creatively express itself. For over 40 years, Joy of Motion has served the DMV area by providing high-quality dance education to students of all ages, races, genders, skill levels, and incomes. We aim to communicate this through our brand identity.

The colors represent the organization as a whole and the four parts that make up the organization: Dance Institute, Community Dance School, Motion Exchange, and Center Stage. The primary logo should only ever appear in the colors in which they occur in this branding guide.

5 IMAGERY TYPES OF IMAGES, PHOTO TREATMENT
5 IMAGERY TYPES OF IMAGERY Joy of Motion primarily uses photos in communications materials, though illustraion is sometimes used as well. Both completely colorized photos and colorized photos in which the dancers retain their original colors are acceptable. Photos may be colorized with either a single color in the color palette or a gradient with multiple colors. Illustrations should always include brushstrokes or elements that look hand-drawn, in keeping with Joy of Motion’s brushstroke motif.
