2 Visual Identity Standards Eyes High Introduction Introduction What is Eyes High? Visual elements Colour palette Typography Supergraphic Relationship to the university brand Examples of Eyes High campaign materials These standards explain and illustrate the appropriate usage of the Eyes High campaign graphics. They are offered to encourage consistent, effective use of the graphics across various media and applications. It is critical that these standards be respected in order to protect the positioning of the university brand while presenting a logical hierarchy and visual relationship between the long-term university identity and the comparatively short-term Eyes High campaign identity What is Eyes High? In September 2011, the University of Calgary introduced its ambitious Eyes High strategic direction, following the largest consultative process in the history of the institution. The University of Calgary is a leading Canadian university located in the nation's most enterprising city. The university has a clear strategic direction to become one of Canada's top five research universities by 2016, where innovative teaching and ground-breaking research go hand in hand, and where we fully engage the communities we both serve and lead. The strategy is called Eyes High, inspired by the university's Gaelic motto, which translates as I will lift up my eyes. Eyes High challenges us to settle for nothing less than greatness, and is supported by three foundational commitments: to sharpen our focus on research and scholarship, to enrich the quality and breadth of learning, and to fully integrate the university with the community. Important The Eyes High graphics presented within this section cannot be redesigned, redrawn, reconfigured or altered. These graphics must always adhere to the colour usage standards in all instances. Any questions should be directed to University Relations at brand@ucalgary.ca.

3 15.03 Visual elements 3 The graphic elements associated with the Eyes High campaign are the full graphic and the stars motif supergraphic. These elements have been drawn and arranged in a specific, proprietary way. Redrawing or misusing them will result in diluting and weakening the impression of the Eyes High campaign. Following these guidelines will ensure consistent representation. In August 2012, the Eyes High graphic was filed for trademark protection. Details on appropriate use of the trademark are available in the University of Calgary writing style guide. 1. The preferred version is stacked vertically. 2. The one-line horizontal version may be used where space constraints dictate. 3. The minimum size for general application of the stacked version of the graphic is 1.25 cm (0.5") wide. The minimum size for the horizontal stacked and single line version is 1 cm (3/8") in height.

4 4 Protected area The Eyes High graphic should be protected on all sides by a clear area. This clear area ensures that no other text or graphics encroach on the graphic to decrease its legibility and impact. This area is based proportionately on the size of the graphic being used. The clear area is determined by using the height of the "H" in the Eyes High graphic. The clear area is two times the height of the "H". The clear space is determined the same way for both the vertical and horizontal lockup.

5 Proper use 5 The Eyes High graphic must be used properly in all situations including placement over PMS485 (red), PMS116 (gold), black and white backgrounds. Following are the prescribed colourations of the Eyes High graphic over approved backgrounds. The graphic must not be placed over any other colour background. The positive full-colour graphic may be used only on white backgrounds. When placing the Eyes High graphic over approved colour backgrounds, knock out in white the stars with the same value as the background (as above). The single-colour positive graphic may appear in black only. It may be used on white or light backgrounds up to the equivalent of a 15% tint of black. Positive and reverse versions of the Eyes High graphic are available. These are reserved for single-colour applications such as newspapers. On any other solid-colour background, use the all-white version.

6 6 Incorrect reproduction When reproducing the Eyes High graphics, knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do. These pages illustrate incorrect usage of the graphics. To avoid these incorrect uses, always reproduce the graphics from official electronic artwork. Once you're sure the artwork is correct, make sure it is also being applied correctly. This page illustrates incorrect applications of the graphics. Do not change the colours of the graphics. Do not use tints of the colours. Do not recolour as a single colour graphic except black or white. Do not skew or distort the graphic. Do not place over a textured or graphic background. Do not place over coloured backgrounds other than PMS 485, PMS 116, black or white. Do not place the logo inside another graphic shape. Do not place over a photograph. University of Calgary Do not redraw any part of the graphic. Do not separate the type from the rest of the graphic. Do not use the stars alone. Do not use the wordmark without the graphic. Do not pull the graphic apart to make animated graphics. To not add text elements to the graphic. Do not use drop shadows, 3D and other effects. Do not rotate the graphic.

7 15.04 Colour palette 7 The primary colour palette for the Eyes High graphics is the same colour palette used by the university for all institutional branding. This is intentional as a method of reinforcing the university s identity with our multiple target audiences. These colours are red, gold, black and white, defined very specifically as follows: PANTONE CMYK RGB Hexadecimal Red PMS 485 C5/M98/Y100/K0 227/39/38 #cc0000 Gold PMS 116 C0/M18/Y100/K0 255/210/0 #ffcc00 Black Black K100 0/0/0 # White 255/255/255 #ffffff

8 15.05 Typography 8 The Eyes High graphic uses specific fonts that make up the wordmark and supporting text content. Following are the typographic specifications for proper use and context in promotional materials. Neutraface Display Titling Neutraface Display titling makes up the wordmark portion of the Eyes High graphic. It is used as the headline font for advertising and promotion of the Eyes High campaign and call-outs including web addresses. This font is available only in upper case. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR STUVWXYZ Gotham Book Gotham Book should be used for all body content within advertising, posters, brochures and other promotions. With its high x-height, it is a legible font that is easy to read in paragraph form. Gotham Bold Gotham Bold should be used for sub-heads and call-outs.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

9 15.06 Supergraphic 9 The Eyes High stars are an evocative visual statement of how we strive for greatness at the University of Calgary. In controlled applications, they can be used as a supergraphic for added emphasis and design flexibility. If the symbol is used as a supergraphic, however, it must always appear as a subtle background device in an 85% tint of the background colour or as a 6% tint of black or silver on a white background. It must also always be accompanied by the full Eyes High graphic.

11 15.07 Relationship to the university brand 11 The Eyes High strategic direction is a time-limited campaign currently being implemented by the University of Calgary an institution that has been around for nearly 50 years and will be around for decades more to come. It is this logic that defines the relationship between the Eyes High graphics and the University of Calgary master identity. The University of Calgary brand is always at the top level visually, and serves as the umbrella for all university-related initiatives. 1. The Eyes High graphics are always used in tandem with the University of Calgary identity. 2. The Eyes High graphics are virtually always set in a subordinate manner to the University of Calgary identity at 60% of its size or less. The exception to this is when the document or ad is explicitly promoting the Eyes High initiative (e.g. Community Report invitation, etc.). In these cases, the Eyes High graphics may sit in a prominent position on the page and be sized much larger than the university identity elements. 3. In advertising and other publications, the Eyes High graphics always sit diagonally from the University of Calgary identity, which typically sits in the upper-right corner of the cover or first page. Eyes High graphic must always be diagonal and no more than 60% of the size of the university logo. Top 40 under 40. Top 5 by 50. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
