3 Our Brand of North America represents 155 Jewish Federations and 300 independent Network Communities across North America. Our Vision: Protecting and enhancing the wellbeing of Jews and Jewish communities in North America, Israel and around the world. Our Mission: To lead a bold continental Federation movement to mobilize financial and social resources through its philanthropic endeavors, strategic initiatives and international agencies to strengthen the Jewish people. Our Values: Jews taking responsibility for each other according to the principles of chesed (caring and compassion), Torah (Jewish learning), tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedakah (social justice). The identity of of North America is much more than just a logo. It is the strength of a people. The power of community. It defines how those around us view both the Federations and our community. And to ensure its success and maintain its long-term presence, consistency is crucial. This manual provides a series of easy-to-follow guidelines to keep the look and feel of the identity consistent. Strict adherence to these standards will help build our strong continental brand. 3

4 Primary Logo Full name Divide Trademark symbol Mark Logotype The logo is the cornerstone of the brand. It is the face of of North America (JFNA). Consistent use of this logo makes the brand more recognizable and strengthens our presence in the community. It should be displayed prominently on every JFNA branded publication and communication. Mark and Logotype The core elements of the logo are the mark and of North America logotype. The two lines of the logotype should always be right aligned. The logotype should never be used without the mark. The mark should always be to the left of the logotype with the exception of the centered logo. The mark can be used on its own as a decorative element when the whole logo is present as well. Please refer to the following chapters explaining correct and incorrect usage. The logo must always be reproduced from a digital master reference. It should never be redrawn or digitally manipulated. Master files are available in eps, jpeg and gif format. Please ensure the appropriate artwork format is used. These files can be downloaded from File Formats eps: all professionally printed applications jpeg: desktop publishing programs gif: online usage (All logo files can be found on Accessibility The logo must always have good contrast with the background to ensure maximum impact and accessibility. A sufficient clear space is required around the logo (see p.6 for full explanation). 4

5 Color & Typeface Preferred 100% PMS 2995C/100% PMS 302C Acceptable 40% PMS 302C/ 100% PMS 302C 100% White/100% 2995C Limited 100% Black 100% White ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ abcdeffghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Baskerville MT Std Regular ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ abcdeffghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Gotham Regular Color The full-color logo has two distinct blue colors that were chosen for their traditional Jewish association. They are optimistic, warm and approachable. The Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors for printing on coated (C) paper stock are: lighter blue PMS 2995C and darker blue PMS 302C. For printing on uncoated stock the PMS colors are 306U and 302U. It is preferable to use the full-color logo when printing with two or more colors and online. In cases when only one color is required, a two-tone variation of PMS 302C or black should be used. When used on black background, the two-color option of white and PMC 2995 is preferable. The all-black and all-white (knock-out) versions are permitted, but should be used only when no other option is available. When possible, spot PMS colors should be specified with your printer. Do not match colors to this document or a computer screen. Refer to actual Pantone matching chips or screen color values, using the numbers listed as reference. A full corporate color palette with CMYK and RGB values is available on p.25. Typeface The typefaces (or fonts) in the logotype should always be Baskerville MT Regular for the name and Gotham Regular all caps for geography. The only acceptable exception is when space for the logo is limited and the logo has to be reduced to.75". In this case the name can be set in Gotham Narrow Medium (see p.6 for Limited Space) for readability. These fonts are available on request from Hindy.Gershman@JewishFederations.org. A full list of corporate fonts is available on p.26. 5

6 Minimum Size, Limited Space and Clear Space 2" 144 pixels Preferred minimum size for print Preferred minimum size for web.75" x x x x x Limited space logo in minimum size Clear space = the height of the flame Size To retain legibility, it is preferable that the logo is at least 2" wide. For online applications, the logo should never be smaller than 144 pixels wide. Limited Space When the logo has to be reduced to a minimun size, but there is not enough space to display the logo horizontally, the centered logo for limited space should be used. It should never be smaller than.75" wide. This is the only instance in which the font of the name can be changed to a Gotham Narrow Medium for readability. Clear Space To ensure that the logo is always clearly reproduced, and never obscured or compromised by other design elements in a layout, an area of clear space must surround it. The amount of clear space is defined by. Regardless of the size of the logo, is always equal to the height of the flame. 6

7 Incorrect Usage The Jewish Federation When the rules of the identity are broken, the brand becomes weakened and confusing. The following are some examples of how the logo should NOT be used: 1. DON'T change the placement of the mark. 2. DON'T use the logotype without the mark. 3. DON'T change the color of the flame. 4. DON'T change the color of the logo to any color that is not specified in this guide (p.5). 5. DON'T place the logo on a background that is too close in tone. 6. DON'T change the font of the logotype. 7. DON'T add any elements into the logotype and/or the mark. 8. DON'T change the alignment of the lines in the logotype. 9. DON'T break the logotype into multiple lines. 10. DON'T superimpose the logo over a photograph. 7

8 The Mark Umbrella The umbrella arcs symbolize the safety net Flame The flame symbolizes our history and heritage it visually guides the eye upwards, providing a sense of aspiration, hope and optimism Color The use of two variations of blue, which is viewed as a traditional Jewish color, is both optimistic and approachable. Menorah The innovative contemporary menorah anchors our visual identity in Jewish tradition. Elements of the mark.25" Clear Space Minimum Size Our strong mark is rooted in Jewish tradition. It is innovative, easily recognizable and both inviting and optimistic. The mark can be used on its own as a graphic element to support the overall branded message on pens, hats, bags etc. Never use it as a replacement for the full logo in corporate communication. The color reproduction is the same as for the primary logo. (See p.5) 8

18 Local Federation Usage Consistent branded communication builds understanding and helps organizations accrue brand value from every interaction. Successful federated brands go to market with one strong brand manifested through the same logo, tagline, common brand architecture and brand consistency throughout. This brand consistency helps strengthen their leadership position and ultimately increases fundraising power. Specifically, local Jewish Federations adopting the branding benefit from: Continental advertising of Federation system value and needs, raising its awareness, stature and appeal Greater exposure and leverage from PR media activities, both locally and continentally Stronger recognition and awareness for mobile segment of population Better economies of scale for marketing best practices, templates and tools More effective promotion and enabling of online fundraising 18

19 Local Federation Logo Full name Trademark symbol Location Mark Logotype The Federation Logo consists of the mark and the full name of a Federation with its location underneath. The location may indicate a city, a city and a state, a region or multiple regions. Local Federation logo colors and applications should follow the ones specified for the JFNA corporate logo in this manual (pp. 5-7) and must be used consistently throughout all branded publications. 19

21 Use of a Tagline Y Y Y THE STRENGTH OF A PEOPLE. THE POWER OF COMMUNITY. Your Federation Tagline Goes Here. Example using your Federation Tagline Example using your Federation Tagline centered in bounding box When adding a tagline, it's important not to extend beyond the logo borders. The tagline can be set in a bounding box when it will be centered, or without the bounding box right aligned with a Federation name. If you choose to use your Federation tagline, it is best when your tagline is short enough to fit on one line underneath the logo. You may bold certain words in your tagline if desired. It is preferred that you also use the Gotham font and the approved color palette. 21

22 Local Federation & Foundation Logo Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Relationships between Federations and Foundations vary from community to community, and your logo should accurately reflect the relationship. 22
