THE HUNTINGTON STORY
San Francisco’s Nob Hill has always been home to the very rich and the very famous. As the city grows and changes from year to year, however, one thing remains the same: Nob Hill is still San Francisco’s crown jewel. In 1922, construction began on the corner of California and Taylor streets, former site of the Tobin Mansion. The result was a 12-story, $2.5 million residential Apartment hotel building. Constructed by Weeks and Day, the 140 room Huntington Apartments was the first steel and brick high-rise west of the Mississippi. In keeping with Nob Hill’s exclusive ambience, the building was described by San Francisco’s Illustrated Daily Herald as the “last word in luxury”. In 1950, a male-dominated industry was stunned by the turning over of the hotel’s ownership to Dorothy, the 14 year old daughter of Eugene Fritz. As one of America’s first women to own and eventually manage a hotel, “Dolly” Fritz expanded the hotel’s exclusive reputation. Her 1967 marriage to Newton Cope, a Sacramento real estate developer, restaurateur and California historian cemented the family’s commitment to Northern California’s hospitality industry. Today, a third generation of the Cope family is actively involved in managing the Huntington Hotel, and Nob Hill Spa. The Huntington maintains its long-standing tradition of high standards and gracious service. Its reputation for quiet and understated luxury has made it a favorite among fashion-conscious travelers who prefer individuality and elegance.

APPLICATION OF THE LOGO Maintaining spatial relationships and sizing
All of the components of the logo should retain the relational properties of composition and size. That is, the graphic symbol and typography should be scaled up and down together, as a unit, and never separately. The only exception to this rule is for the very smallest applications such as pens and tie clips when the symbol is slightly larger in relationship to
the typographic elements of the logo. These files are designated xs (extra small). Always use the appropriate file type for your specific application. As a guide, set against a pont size of 14pt for the the logotype, the logo must be 9.5 mm wide by 18mm high with 1mm space between beaks and serifs

COLOUR
Maintaining the Brand emotion
The rules and guidelines for using the corporate colours and associated tints must be adhered to across all media and marketing collateral. When using the colour in print applications and materials, a colour book must be used and the specific PMS inks applied. The specific colours are PANTONE 165M and 1807M. If you are using metallic inks or foil, these must be aaproved by Huntington management prior to production.
The Huntington hotel logo may, if required, be used in the colour of the most dominant object in an approved photo. In this case, there must be sufficient contrast between the logo and the background in order to maintain visibility and ledgibility. The logo should never be used in multiple colours other than the specified PMS numbers or supporting colour palette.
The preferred method for using the typestyle against a dark background should be reversed out as white.
PANTONE 165 M
PANTONE 1807 M
PMS 165M Orange is used to symbolize the colours of the Californian sunset. It is one of the two defining colours for the brand and should only be used for the logo. A tint of no more than %50 of the CMYK may be used with print communications. PROCESS C0 M59 Y96 K0 SCREEN R245 G132 B38 WEB hex# F58426
PMS 1807M Red symbolizes the iconic Golden Gate bridge that San Francisco is known for. As a design element it may be used as a border but at no more than 2 points. This is the colour to match for all stationery used to hold documents ie; Die cut document wallets. PROCESS C0 M100 Y96 K28 SCREEN R181 G18 B27 WEB hex# B5121 8
WHITE White may be used in certain cases such as the Nob Hill spa maintaing a tranquil feel. or to serve as a background for color renditions of the logo. White may be used selectively to add warmth to marketing applications, pure white is preferred for corporate communications.

PANTONE BLACK When 165M and 1807M are not available or appropriate for some applications, black is an elegant and acceptable substitute for applying the Huntington identity. It may be used to render the logo itself or as a background color against white type.

SUPPORTING COLOUR PALETTE This supporting palette may be used in some cases for creating textures, borders, and backgrounds. While they can add depth and interest to a composition, keep in mind that white space is also an important part of our visual brand identity.
