How These Guidelines Work

HUDSON COUNTY BRAND STYLE GUIDE


The brand strategy provides the directions and ideas for portraying and unifying the experiences of Hudson County. In conjunction with the Hudson County Brand Blueprint, it acts as part of a guidance system to inform communications, experience delivery, product development and public policy programs that affect the local visitor economy. It will shape what we want people to think and feel about Hudson County as a place to visit.

The purpose of this Style Guide is to provide examples and ideas of the type of images and subjects that should be used to present the Hudson County brand. Some of the images used in the Guide are from stock images that may feature subjects at locations outside of the county, and are provided as examples only.

What is a Destination Brand? A destination brand makes and fulfills a valued promise. It is a unique blend of physical, intangible and emotional benefits which clearly differentiate a place from other choices as a visitor destination. Importantly, it acts as a guidance system to prioritize and influence every message, process, decision, communication, and investment. Branding can be considered to be the art and science of orchestrating the distinctive messages and experiences that we most want associated with Hudson County to ensure that they are as unifying, compelling, and rewarding as possible.

HUDSON COUNTY BRAND STYLE GUIDE


Why Does Hudson County Need a Destination Brand? Competition between places has never been more intense. Our customers have overwhelming choices and are faced with thousands of competing messages every day. What target audiences think of Hudson County directly impacts whether they will spend time and money here. To compete in this environment we must be unified and differentiate Hudson County in ways that are personally relevant and compelling to our target audiences. The Hudson County brand provides a unifying umbrella through which we can consistently present the county’s leading experiences, words, imagery, products, and distinctive character.

OUR BRAND PROMISE For people visiting or living in the New York Metro Who are seeking experiences in places that are authentic, vibrant and engaging, Only Hudson County uniquely combines these qualities in neighborhoods Where they can feel a sense of excitement, fun, inspiration and discovery.

Copy Style

Hudson County brand will be embedded in the copy for brochures, web sites, advertising, online communications and collateral materials. Wherever possible, copy should describe experiences with active-oriented and evocative language to provide a feel for what the reader will experience. Importantly, it must make the reader feel as though they’re already enjoying the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations of Hudson County. Copy should always be written in a friendly, relaxed, informative, and unpretentious manner to match our personality. It should be conversational and create the feel and tone of a one-on-one conversation. It should be enticing and motivational, yet realistic and factual. It must not contain hype.

HUDSON COUNTY BRAND STYLE GUIDE


Are the images believable? Are these real people doing real things? Do the subjects look natural and not posed? Are the subjects doing something interesting? Will the photographs resonate with the target audience? Do they have a WOW factor? Do they have a strong “wish you were here� flavor?

Colors The Hudson County Brand is supported by primary, secondary and tertiary color sets. These colors reflect the character of Hudson County and should never be altered or deviated from at any time. The primary set includes seven Pantone colors. These colors are used to represent each of the three logos.

NJ

The secondary set consists of screen tints of the primary set. These are to be used for support graphic articulation. The tertiary set is for special complimentary treatments but are never to be used in any of the logos themselves. They are best used as extended graphic accents and to guide in the selection of colors in photography. All colors are broken down into reproduction formulas for print media (CMYK), digital processes (RGB) and web media (HEX).

Typography Typography is a powerful tool used to support the Hudson County brand and should be used in all forms of visual communication to maintain a strong and unified brand expression. Avenir is the primary font family used to support the Hudson County brand in all marketing communications such as ads, brochures and other forms of print and digital mediums. It includes 12 styles that can be used together. For day-to-day correspondence, use Arial which is part of the standard Microsoft font library. Even though it slightly different, it aligns well with Avenir and is available to correspondence recipients so your documents will not default to a random font on their system.

Tile-able Pattern A tile-able brand pattern has been developed for use as background effects, architectural motifs, textiles or for any continuous graphic. The shapes are derived from the basic elements of the symbol. As a background, the pattern is intended to be reproduced as a low contrast graphic. It may also be used to make a bold statement with high contrast colors from the brand color palette.

Accent Wedge The accent wedge is derived from one of the basic elements of the symbol. It is a graphic device used to emphasize a key message or bring attention to another visual element. It can also be used as a subtle decorative element and may be reproduced in any of the colors from the brand color palette.

Website

The Hudson County website should be fully responsive with an emphasis on mobile devices. Banner images should include professional imagery devoid of heavy pixelation and stretch to the full width of the browser window. They should be light enough for quick load time. The home page should feature an image that is approximately 1/2 of the window height. The page should be scrollable to reveal extended content below. The 2nd tier pages should also feature expandable banners but occupy no more than 1/4 of the height of the window. Each page will have a common header menu and footer.
