WATER USE IT WISELY OVERVIEW The Water Use It Wisely program is a comprehensive community awareness campaign that stars ordinary household objects as unexpected but highly effective watersaving devices. The program demonstrates how changing a few simple habits can have a significant impact on water consumption. Our campaign headline, There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you, communicates the theme that water conservation is the responsibility of every individual. The Water Use It Wisely conservation campaign doesn t tell people to save water, it shows them how to save water. It s a bright, colorful, fun approach that encourages everyone to be mindful of when and how they use water. 3
WHY YOU NEED STANDARDS The brand identity of the Water Use It Wisely campaign is strengthened and awareness is increased by consistent use of its elements. Even slight deviations can diminish its impact. Refer to these standards when using the logo, any of the many executions of the campaign (brochures, posters, slides, ads, TV spots, etc), or the individual elements that make up the campaign (headline, photographs, copy elements, tagline, etc). Be sure to share these standards with your communications partners whenever they are working with the campaign. Whenever possible, Water Use It Wisely logos, materials and campaign elements should be reproduced from original digital files or cameraready art prepared for that purpose by Park&Co. 4
WATER USE IT WISELY LOGO The most recognizable and consistent element of the Water Use It Wisely campaign is the logo. The logo consists of the water drop symbol against a colored pattern and the words Water Use It Wisely. The visual strength of the logo as a symbol of the campaign depends on its being used consistently. Please review these standards to ensure that you always use the logo properly. The logo can be used in a horizontal or vertical format. The size and placement of the logo in your materials will suggest which is appropriate in each case. There are numerous variations of the Water Use It Wisely logo to give you a great deal of flexibility in your printed or broadcast materials. The approved logo variations are shown and described in these standards. When placing the logo in your materials, always use the electronic artwork supplied to you by Park&Co. Never alter the logo in any way, other than as described in these standards. 5
TRADEMARK The Water Use It Wisely logo is a registered trademark. Whichever logo format you are using, it must be accompanied by the. 6
LOGO COLORS THE WATER USE IT WISELY LOGO IS COLORFUL AND EYECATCHING, JUST AS THE CAMPAIGN MATERIALS ARE. BECAUSE THE BRIGHT COLORS REINFORCE THE FUN, FRIENDLY TONE OF THE CAMPAIGN, THE FULLCOLOR LOGO IS THE PREFERRED LOGO. THE COLOR SPECIFICATIONS YOU WILL USE TO REPRODUCE THE LOGO DEPEND UPON THE MEDIUM IN WHICH THE LOGO WILL BE USED. IN PRINTED MATERIALS, THE PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM (PMS) COLORS WILL GIVE THE MOST ACCURATE REPRODUCTION. IN PRINTED MATERIALS THAT USE FOURCOLOR PROCESS (SUCH AS NEWSPAPER OR MAGAZINE ADS), USE THE CMYK COLOR SPECIFICATIONS. FOR ELECTRONIC MEDIA SUCH AS WEB SITES, CDS, OR VIDEO, USE THE RGB OR HEXA DECIMAL COLOR SPECIFICATIONS. 7

CLEAR SPACE The Water Use It Wisely logo makes the strongest impact when it is not crowded by other visual elements. Maintain a clear space around the logo relative to the size of the logo, as illustrated here. 10
LOGO WITH WEB ADDRESS OR OTHER SECONDARY TYPE The only acceptable variation in clear space is when the Water Use It Wisely logo is used with the wateruseitwisely.com web address or other secondary type approved by Park&Co. In this case, the secondary type can be closer to the logo, but should still maintain a clear space, as illustrated here. wateruseitwisely.com 11
MINIMUM SIZE If you reproduce the Water Use It Wisely logo too small, it loses its visual effectiveness. The minimum size for the horizontal and vertical logos is shown below..5".5" 12
EXAMPLES OF UNACCEPTABLE USE The consistent use of the Water Use It Wisely logo is necessary to protect the campaign s trademark rights and to protect the strength of the logo. Do not create your own variations of the logo or modify the logo in any way. Use only the logo variations described in these standards. 13
LOGO USE OVER PHOTOS Because of the colorful character of the Water Use It Wisely logo, you must carefully consider the decision to place the logo over a photograph. For best results, observe the following guidelines: Choose an area of the photograph that has a consistent value (light and dark areas). Match the logo to the value of the photograph, placing the black type logo over light areas or the reverse (white type) logo over dark areas. Choose an area of the photograph with no distracting elements or patterns. When placing the logo over a photograph, the photograph should not be seen inside the water drop. The inside of the water drop should always be white. 14

These elements are available for you to use in your newsletters, flyers, educational materials and other department publications with certain restrictions.
