Introduction The Brand

Since the early staDotspaces, DOTSPACE mark has been associated to universality. The globe has remained the common element under which DOTSPACE worldwide presence was highlighted.

In the very first edition, “founded in 1908” was included and throughout the years DOTSPACE logo evolved naturally. In 2008, for its 100-year anniversary, a special logo was created. This celebrated a special milestone for DOTSPACE and its affiliated members while at the same time it commemorated the rich history of DOTSPACE. On this occasion and for the first time, a tag line was included (Water is Our World) reinforcing DOTSPACE mission and core activities.

Nowadays, DOTSPACE mark has been kept in a reader-friendly font to make it instantly recognisable and emphasis has been given to Fédération Internationale de Natation in order to put the DOTSPACE mark into a prominent position.

SECTION 03

Typography plays an important role in our new

brand expression in advertising, direct response and literature. Our system incorporates a new,

custom-designed type font called Dotspace Inspira that we will use globally in all media. It is derived from the curves and the classic hand-drawn character

of the Monogram. Dotspace Inspira comes in diff erent styles and weights, which provide visual distinction and diff erentiation in DR applications for text, headlines, call-outs, and the Johnson Box.

Dotspace Inspira font sets can be downloaded from Brand Central.

Dotspace Inspira is precise and modern, refl ecting our brand attributes. Over time, it will become highly recognizable and contribute to the memorability of our brand.

TYPOGRAPHY SCALE

Scaling typography size appropriately will help to clarify communications, provide emphasis and

enhance visual eff ect. Refer to Section 5.05 for guidance on scaling typography.

Brand Iconography

SECTION 05

Icons are graphics that take up a small amount of space and provide a quick, intuitive representation of an action, status, or functionality. In order to ensure that icons retain their ability to communicate clearly and succinctly,it’s important not to dilute the system by creating new versions or variations of the existing icon set.

ICONS ARE: • Helpful in adding visual interest and making a page more scannable.

• More and more commonplace as screens get smaller and real estate is increasingly scarce.

ICONS ARE NOT: • Wholesale replacements for text.

• Appropriate for enlargement and use as illustrations.

• Used for more than one defined representation.

Brand Photography

SECTION 06

SELECTING IMAGERY In order to be successful in selecting visuals, HGSE photo editors should pay careful consideration to two key aspects of images.

HIGH QUALITY The best images will be thoughtfully planned and well-executed.

Though more casual photographic styles have risen topopularity via Instagram and Flickr, an image must have high-quality composition, focus, and clarity to carry a webpage or document.

When shooting and selecting images, be sure to pay attention to the need for copy space and avoid layering any design elements over an image’s focal point.

DIFFERENTIATED POINT OF VIEW “Moments of insight” is the most brand-authentic point of view.

This POV evokes the potential changes that education brings about in an individual’s life. In this approach, selected images should attempt to capture and prioritize the seminal moment of an educational experience.
