the identity

the mark system The Tippet symbol combined with the signature

is referred to as the mark. This mark is to be used for Tippet applications only. The mark system is composed of a primary horizontal mark with the components contained along with two secondary horizontal marks. The primary mark, located on page 12, is meant for the majority of our applications. The two secondary marks, located on page 13, are to be used only in

the identity

the symbol The symbol is an abstract illustration of a fly that’s used for fly fishing. It was inspired by hand-tied flies. The looseness in the symbol derived from the unique and relaxed way the fishing line moves in the air when cast. The symbol of our store’s mark may be used on its own only if the stroke does not appear around it.

the signature The signature is composed of the typeface Gotham Light. The counters of the p’s are taken from the tail of the fly in the symbol unifying the mark. The signature may not broken up and used on its own. Never crop or alter the kerning or tracking of the signature.

the identity

primary mark The primary mark for Tippet is used for the

majority of applications. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used on all stationery system pieces, brochures, bags, environmental graphics, and the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. The primary mark is particularly useful in larger spaces where it can be enlarged proportionally if needed.

the identity

secondary marks

There are two secondary marks for the Tippet identity. Both marks do not have the container that the primary mark has.

secondary mark 1.1 This mark mimics horizontal layout of the primary mark, with the symbol being placed to the left of

the identity

The colors that make up Tippet's identity system are two different hues of green. This primary color palette is the same for both the primary and secondary marks. These colors represent the natural and rustic out-doors that fly fishermen interact with while fishing. Always use the color breakouts provided. Keep in

mind that it is normal for color variations to occur between coated and uncoated stocks as well as various printers.

The Tippet mark can be used in one color as well. To keep the contrast in the symbol like that of the primary and secondary marks, the one color mark is made of three different tints of the same

color. These are the same two colors that are used in the primary and secondary marks. The three different tints use for all marks are 100%, 80%, and 30%. Use 100% for the body and the signature in the secondary marks. The container of the primary mark and the eyes and tail of the fly symbol are 80% tint. All wings on the symbol of the fly are 30% tint.

improper use of primary colors Never swap or mix the primary colors with any of the design elements of the marks.

a white background behind the mark needs to be placed so it will be noticeable or the container and tippet be filled with white. When using the primary mark on the papers specified on pages 44 and 45 a white background behind the primary mark is not needed.

The following type families are to be used for the Tippet identity. The use of these typefaces will ensure that the identity will maintain a consistent appearance throughout a variety of applications. The use of the substitute typeface shown to the right of the primary is acceptable when the primary typeface is not available.

gotham light This style is used for the creation of the Tippet primary and secondary marks and is used for the majority of all applications. Gotham Light 8/11 should be used for body copy or any official Tippet business applications with tracking set at 15 point for readability.

gotham book This style is used on the business card for the address, web address, and the store owner. Gotham Book 7/9 should be applied. Using this style of the Gotham family allows the information to be more legible on such a small size format.

gotham bold This style is used for headlines and subheads with the treatment of the type being all lowercase. The type size of the subheads should be smaller than the headlines to create hierarchy in applications. They should never be in all caps, light or regular weight or italics. For better readability the tracking of both headlines and subheads should be 15 point. This typeface style is used in the brochure, the Tippet website, and the employee name on letterhead and business card.

types of flies wet flies

dry flies

nymphs

Wet flies imitate injured flies that sink below the surface of the water or water bugs that skim lazily across the water.

Dry flies are small flies that float on the surface of the water. Surrounding the fly’s head are usually feathers of a water bird or deer hair that fan out helping the fly float. These are designed to look like caddisflies, mayflies or damselflies. They tease fish by imitating the actions of an insect by briefly touching down on the water’s surface.

Nymphs are designed to mimic the natural pupal and larval stages of aquatic insects, slugs, snails, leeches and worms. They must sink to the bottom of the water like natural larvae and pupae. Nymphs have small, compact, weighted bodies that resemble the pupa of an insect moving onto the next stage of its life cycle.

The bodies of these flies are made with heavier types of chenille or tinsel to help them sink. Material used for wet flies are bird feathers, rabbit fur and chenille, which absorb water fast. To help them sink, the wings are pulled back away from the fly’s head.

the user experience The primary purpose for the Tippet website is for users to be able to view all of Tippet's customized hand-tied flies and to know when the store has their fly-tying hours. For customers wanting to take a fishing vacation or plan a simple get away, the website offers a list of lodges and homes to stay at with their rates listed. The site also features pages where customers can plan a fishing trip for a day by viewing the list of tour guides, a map of rivers and reservoirs located around the Casper area, and looking up river reports to see where they would like to fish. Graham Owen, Tippet's photographer, has an assortment of beautiful fly fishing photographs displayed on the site. This website is updated weekly so all of the information throughout the site is current.

process: visual identity

After visiting the specialty shops, journal entries were written about my experiences, thoughts, and feelings during the visits. A shop I visited in Grand Haven, Michigan inspired me to create a fly fishing specialty shop. Once the type of specialty shop was chosen, brainstorming began for the fly fishing shop name. A list of one hundred names were slowly narrowed down and the final name for the fly fishing specialty shop was chosen.

process: visual identity

Then, the thumbnailing process began for the identity of the Tippet store. One hundred different ideas were sketched out. Classmates and professors made comments. From those comments, the one hundred sketches were narrowed down to the top twenty. Vector images of the twenty sketches were produced on the computer. Three mood boards were created from inspiration on how I envisioned the look and feel of the store.

process: layout development

The identity of the store continues to be narrowed down. Numerous iterations were generated to get the final identity to represent Tippet.

process: visual identity

Once the final identity was chosen for Tippet, sketches of the business system was produced along with sketches for brochure and website. Sketches for the layout of the Tippet Identity Standards manual was produced. Pacing of the book was considered during this process.
