Final Thoughts

We’ve been revived...

These guidelines explain how to apply our reinvigorated brand identity in a consistent & inspiring way. From our logo varieties to color schemes to fonts, this document gives you all the tools you need to spread our new look and personality into all our materials for parents, students, and our community.

4

Introducing our new look...

After celebrating our 50th Jubilee year, we felt it was time to update our official branding to something with a little more personality. To echo the multi-faceted experience our school offers, we’ve incorporated a swirl of bright colours into our traditional Magen David. Now our logo looks as exciting as our students, our faculty, and our school.

There’s lots of variety here...

We have different logos for different purposes. To make it easier, we’ve defined general rules of use for each logo here. If you’re not sure what logo to use for a specific project, simply ask the director.

7

Full Legal Logo For mandatory use on all external print materials or advertisements.

Must be used at least once, but can be combined with star logo.

Small Advertising Logo For use on internal documents or smaller adverstisements where the main logo would be unreadable or take up too much room.

Star Logo For use as an icon or emblem on promotional materials, sports & extra-curricular items, and in combination with full legal logo.

8

A version for every possibility...

To ensure options for every need, we have different colour versions for each logo.

These are optimized for the best output for their specific colour space. The full colour version is available in solid Pantone or CMYK for print materials and in RGB for on screen applications. Solid blue can be used for a one-colour alternative.

Just a few no-no’s...

There are some things that should never be changed. One of those is our logo. To keep our new look consistent, here are some things you should avoid doing.

Do not skew or rotate.

Do not stretch disproportionately.

Do not mix up the icon/text combinations.

Do not use brand colours or patterns as backgrounds.

Blue is an exception, with the logo’s blue elements reversed to white.

11

Spacing things out...

When using our logo, make sure to leave some breathing room. We recommend using elements from the logo itself to ensure minimum spacing at any size.

12

Meet our new messaging...

To go along with our great new logo, we added a brand new tagline. We wanted a message that embodies our philosophies and speaks to everyone—from students to parents to the community as whole. That is just what we got with our versatile and customizeable messaging.

Our tagline can be displayed as two lines or as a single line, based on your design and available space.

When talking to students in any format, we should be using the ‘My’ or ‘Your’ versions of our tagline and communicating from their perspective. These help the student to relate on a more personal level to their education and high school experience. We are all about empowering our students to take their futures into their own hands by optimizing their experiences—academic and extra-curricular—at TanenbaumCHAT.

Parents have a different set of needs and wants. We understand that their children are first and foremost in their thoughts when it comes to our school. To relate on a parent’s level, we use the ‘Their’ version of our tagline and talk directly to their concerns for their children’s experiences and future success.

When participating in community events or addressing common goals, we use the ‘Our’ version of our tagline to show support. As part of the Jewish community, we value our collective heritage and understand our role in strengthening the next generation. We face challenges and look to build a strong future together as a whole.

Putting it all together...

As a general rule, you should always use the logo and tagline combination. We’ve set out the official combinations for you here. However, you can potentially use them side-by-side or nearby if absolutely necessary for spacing or readability reasons. Remember to use the correct version of the tagline for your audience.

17

18

We are all part of a whole...

Our new brand encompasses every aspect of TanenbaumCHAT, including any associations or departments. To make them look like they belong, they should use the star logo combined with their name. To add some personality, the main part of the name can use our alternate font Marydale and the type of group can use Frutiger LT Std Bold Condensed in uppercase.

We’ve used the Alumni Association as an example here. The same principle can be applied to other groups. These can be combined with the audience-appropriate taglines as necessary.

19

20

Don’t forget our UJA friends...

As part of the Jewish community, all our printed materials, publicity, and promotional items must include the UJA Federation’s logo.

21

Keep in mind...

The goal is always to maintain consistency in the look and feel of our brand.

Answering the questions below may help you pick which logo or tagline to use, where to put them, and how best to communicate.

22

Showing our true colours...

With our new bright logo, we have lots of colours to choose from. Although the colours may be used individually for grouping, we recommend having the secondary colours used together proportionately, so that they do not overpower each other or the viewers. Its all about visual hierarchy and keeping the TanenbaumCHAT brand exciting, not messy.

Fonts of knowledge...

Our main typeface is easy to read, with a variety of weights and styles to help you communicate clearly and efficiently.

Frutiger LT Std is our standard typeface for all print materials and promotions.

Our logo text uses 67 Bold Condensed for the full name. Generally, 55 Roman is the standard body text weight, combined with 65 Bold or 56 Italic for emphasis. There are also condensed versions available for pull-outs. The combinations are infinite.

Adding a little personality...

We have incorporated a handwritten typeface into our brand for a more fun, personal touch. Marydale is used in combination with Frutiger LT Std in our tagline.Be careful to not overuse Marydale; it does not belong in paragraphs or anything more than a few words. Use it as accents in headers, on graphics, or wherever a bit more personality is needed alongside our standard font.

An alternative...

If you are working online you will need to use Trebuchet MS as a web-friendly alternative to Frutiger LT Std. Trebuchet MS can also be used when typing letters or memos on our branded letterhead. Tahoma may be substituted if necessary.
