BRAND GUIDELINES To foster a great experience for anyone who interacts with the, novice and expert alike, these guidelines have been created to ensure consistency over just about every instance of patron contact. From the moment a person becomes aware of our existence it is our duty to create a strong emotional connection with the organization. That s why it important to communicate the brand clearly and consistently across everything we say and do. The core design elements are the essential visual elements of our brand the Puddle logo, typefaces, color palettes, imagery, and graphics are the starting point for any communication. 3
THE PUDDLE The fluid and concentric motion born from the tip of the blade as it moves through the water. The deciding force between first and last. A brutally honest display of fitness. The Puddle is the natural phenomena that propels our vessels forward and symbolically remains a force that is forever moving together. The Puddle floats as the primary mark of the brand. It has two components (1) the Puddle icon and (2) the word-mark that appears directly below it. The Puddle is most frequently displayed in blue. The logo art should never be altered in anyway, but used always as supplied. 4
ONONDAGA GREEN Without water there can be no rowing. Water is as much a part of rowing s identity as the boats, oars and rowers that use it are. This on the water requires a close relationship is formed with your surroundings. On a good day you may be rowing on glass, on a bad day there s a chance you might not make it back to the dock. Recognition of this inseperable balance between rowing and water, is what brings us Onondaga Green. Tthe result of the process that involves extracting and averaging the colors of Onondaga s waters from hundreds of photographs this gives us a shade visually consistent with environment we call home. The official color of the is Onondaga Green.
