DisCoVEr siliCoN VAllEy • 9

ITwas the most watched single-television broadcastin the United States last year. It prompts an annualincrease in U.S. sales of large flat screen televisions

days prior to kickoff. It is played on a Sunday, and has evolved, forpractical purposes, into a national festival. And it will be played thismonth in Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium, returning to the Bay Areaafter a 31-year hiatus.

Super Bowl I waS played In 1967, wIth the Green Bay packerS defeatInG the kanSaS cIty chIefS 35-10.

The Super Bowl’s homecoming to the Bay Area features not only the 50th Anniversary of the NationalFootball League’s championship game, but will bring throngs of fans to this annual extravaganza, offer-ing concerts, festivals, and the chance to showcase more than Silicon Valley’s technology to the world.

Yet the Super Bowl was not always the national institution into which it has transformed.

The National Football League was once the American Professional Football Association until a namechange in 1922. Until 1931, NFL champions were determined simply by the team with the best winningpercentage during the course of each season. When a regular season tie required a playoff game won bythe Chicago Bears in 1932, the NFL was inspired to create two divisions, and its first formal championshipgame was played in 1933. And there might the NFL have remained, many argue, but for the oil fortune ofTexan Lamar Hunt and the brash prediction of a flamboyant AFL quarterback for the New York Jetsnamed Joe Namath, who became known as “Broadway Joe” following a pose on Broadway for a 1965Sports Illustrated cover.


continued from page 9

When the NFL thwarted Hunt’sefforts to purchase an NFL fran-chise for his hometown of Dallas,the business tycoon created a rival organization called theAmerican Football League,launched in 1960 with teams ineight cities. The then twelve-team NFL responded to this competitive threat with its ownexpansion, including the DallasCowboys to compete with theAFL’s Dallas Texans, which threeyears later moved to Kansas Cityto become the Chiefs.

By 1966, although the AFL wasgenerally considered to be infe-rior to the NFL, the two leaguesbegan negotiating a title gameand merger. Season-end cham-pionship games between thetwo league’s winners wereplayed in 1967 and 1968, withfamed coach Vince Lombardi’sNFL Green Bay Packers rein-

Vince Lombardi’s Legacy: The Coach and the Trophy

The quotes of the NFL’s most renowned coach are as legendary as the sterling silver trophyanointing each year’s Super Bowl Champion.Vince Lombardi offered his personal wisdom ontopics ranging from commitment and winning todiscipline and faith.

The son of an Italian immigrant born in Brooklynin 1913, Lombardi was initially destined for theCatholic Church and priesthood. Instead, heevolved into a star right guard for Fordham Uni-versity, one of the school’s famed “Seven Blocksof Granite,” and ultimately into the preeminentcoach of the Green Bay Packers in the 1960s.

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all thetime thing,” Lombardi said, according to the offi-cial website established by his family. “You don’tdo things right once in a while...you do them rightall the time.”

In football, Lombardi did everything “right.”During his first head coaching position the Pack-ers won five NFL championships as well as SuperBowls I and II, in 1967 and 1968, respectively.After a brief retirement as Packers’ coach, Lombardi accepted the position of head coachof the Washington Redskins in 1969, and imme-diately turned the losing Redskins into a 7-5-2team. Lombardi died of cancer one year later, at age 57. As a head coach, he never posted alosing season.

Before Super Bowl V, then NFL CommissionerPete Rozelle renamed the seven-pound sterlingsilver championship trophy, manufactured byTiffany & Co., the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

“There are three things that are important toevery man in this locker room,” Lombardi oncesaid to his Packers team, according to his familywebsite. “His God, his family, and the Green BayPackers. In that order.”

Lucky and Unlucky Number Four

Joe Montana, Tom Brady and Terry Bradshaw, three of the NFL’s all-time eminent quarterbacks,all have good feelings about the number four. The Buffalo Bills wonder why four was not enough.

With Montana as their quarterback, the San Francisco 49ers dominated the NFL in the 1980’s,winning four Super Bowls including consecutive wins in 1989 and 1990. Montana was namedSuper Bowl MVP three times and orchestrated one of the most impressive final-minute drives inchampionship history in the Niners 20-16 win over Cincinnati in Super Bowl XXIII. Trailing 16-13with 3:20 remaining in the game, Montana completed an 11 play, 92-yard drive, converting a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver John Taylor with 34 seconds remaining. It was the thirdchampionship in five years for Montana, and when the Niners defeated the Broncos in SuperBowl XXIV, Montana had his third MVP and fourth ring. Montana never lost a Super Bowl.

Tom Brady has lost two Super Bowls, although like Montana the New England Patriots’ QB haswon four including Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX and XLIX, and been named MVP on threeoccasions. With Brady the Patriots have dominated since 2002 the way the 49ers did throughoutthe 1980’s and Bradshaw’s Pittsburgh Steelers in the mid to late 1970’s: It became expected tosee Brady’s team in the Super Bowl. If Brady had been able to deliver again this year, he wouldhave had the chance to become the first quarterback to win five championships. Bradshaw finished his career with four Super Bowl wins and two championship MVP awards.

Four consecutive Super Bowl appearances for the Buffalo Bills, however, were not enough to wineven one title. Quarterback Jim Kelly’s innovative “no-huddle” offense led the Bills to four AFCtitles from 1991 through 1994, but without the ultimate prize of winning a championship. Thenotoriety of losing four consecutive championship games is tempered with time: while no otherquarterback or team has lost four straight Super Bowls, no team other than Kelly’s Bills has everappeared in four consecutive championships.

forcing the AFL “inferior” labelby easily winning the first twochampionships. At that point,the merger had yet to be com-pleted and many questionedwhether the AFL did indeed belong in a league with the NFL.


was seen as “anti-establishment,youthful, (and) brash,” says Horrigan. Namath’s “persona,” famously captured in a photo as he engaged with the media,relaxing poolside on a chaiselounge in swimsuit and shirtlessat a Fort Lauderdale hotel, repre-sented the AFL at the time, addsHorrigan. “Then he guaranteed a victory and (the reaction was)‘How dare he.’” But when Namathtrotted off the field after thegame, right arm extended abovehis head, index finger aloft, fol-lowing the Jets 16-7 win over theBaltimore Colts, it signified “aresurrection of validation for theAFL,” says Horrigan.

“It was important that the AFLnot be dismissed as inferior,” addsHorrigan. “These teams were(now) part of the NFL.” One yearlater, Hunt’s Kansas City Chiefsdefeated the Minnesota Vikings23-7 in Super Bowl IV, and as themerger was completed, establish-ing one league with two confer-ences, the NFC and AFC, theSuper Bowl score was 2-2. Footballfans concluded, Horrigan adds,“This merger is going to work.”

Forty-six seasons and 45 SuperBowls later, the merger is thriv-ing. According to a CNN.com report, a television audience ofover 120 million watched thefinal minutes of the AFC’s NewEngland Patriots come-from-be-hind 28-24 win over Seattle lastyear in Super Bowl XLIX. Manyof today’s fans may not knowthat the NFL was once two sepa-rate leagues; fifty years later, asthe Hall of Fame’s Horrigannotes, there is indeed “such greatparity (between the conferences),you are almost guaranteed agood game.”

This month that game will behosted in the technology centerof the world, in the NFL’s mosttechnological-savvy stadium—afitting Bay Area homecoming forthe Super Bowl.

“It was David versus Goliath,”says Joe Horrigan, an executivevice president with the Pro Foot-ball Hall of Fame in Canton, OH,and resident historian who hasbeen with the organization forfour decades. The AFL effec-tively challenged the NFL, Horri-gan adds, but the question was,“Is there parity?”

The answer was a resounding“no” following the first twochampionship games punctuatedfirst, Horrigan recalls, by theGreen Bay Packers second half“blowout” of Kansas City in its35-10 win in Super Bowl I. Withthe Packers’ equally one-sided33-14 win over the OaklandRaiders in 1968, doubts about thewisdom of merging escalated.

When the New York Jets wonthe 1968 AFL Championship andarrived in Miami in January1969 for Super Bowl III, Namath

From Super Ball to Super Bowl

When California chemist Norman Stingley cre-ated an exceptionally high bouncing ball of syn-thetic rubber materials and patented it in 1964,it’s unlikely he knew it would inadvertently in-spire the name of professional football’s cham-pionship. The Super Ball became a favored toyof American children, including two of AmericanFootball League founder Lamar Hunt. Amid dis-cussions of playoff games and schedules as theAFL and NFL merged, Hunt casually referred tothe final championship game as the “SuperBowl.” According to The New York Times’ De-cember 15, 2006 obituary on Hunt, the AFLfounder was quoted as recalling, “My own feel-ing is that it probably registered in my head be-cause my daughter, Sharron, and my son LamarJr. had a children’s toy called a Super Ball, and Iprobably interchanged the phonetics of “bowl”with “ball.”

Known as the A.F.L.-N.F.L. World ChampionshipGame during the first two inter-league contests,the name “Super Bowl” became official with thethird championship game, and the title wasbackdated to include the first two. Some reportssuggest that Hunt also recommended theRoman numeral sequence for the Super Bowls,which remained intact until this year when theleague elected to incorporate Arabic numeralsfor Super Bowl 50.

Many sports pundits spec-ulate that Super Bowl 50could be the final game

for Peyton Manning as a profes-sional football player. Injuriesand underachievement havebeen the recent “scouting report”on the Denver Broncos’ quarter-back who missed six games thisyear, and will turn 40 soon afterthe championship game in SantaClara’s Levi’s Stadium.

But his redemptive performancein last month’s AFC title game,combined with a stalwart Broncodefense, dethroned quarterbackTom Brady’s New England Patri-ots, propelling Manning to hisfourth Super Bowl with a chanceto join the elite club of NFL quar-terbacks with two or more cham-pionship wins.

Following 13 years with the Indi-anapolis Colts with which hewon Super Bowl XLI with a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears,Manning has perhaps found alate-career mentor with Denver’sExecutive Vice President of Foot-ball Operations and General

Manager, someone who knows alittle about playing in SuperBowls—John Elway. After 16 sea-sons as the Broncos quarterbackbetween 1983 and 1998, includingfive Super Bowl appearances andtwo Super Bowl championships,Elway joined Denver’s front of-fice and brought Manning to theteam in 2012. This will be Man-ning’s second Super Bowl for theBroncos in his three years sincejoining the team, the first being adismal 43-8 loss to the SeattleSeahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Manning and the Broncos arriveat Super Bowl 50 in style, with anAFC championship marked bythe quarterback’s two first-halftouchdown passes to tight endOwen Daniels and no intercep-tions. Regardless of the outcome,Manning remains destined forthe Hall of Fame, already pos-sessing plenty of passing records,including most passing yards in aseason—the 5,477 he amassed in2013, his second year with Den-ver. Manning’s 222 games with200-plus yards passing between1998 and 2015 is likewise a

record, as is his 168 career gameswith 250-plus yards of passing.

With the Broncos, Manning hasmore options than just throwingthe ball: Denver’s running gamewith Richmond, California’sthird-year running back C.J. An-derson, is well intact. After notouchdowns in his first two sea-sons, Anderson had five in thisyear’s regular season and a keyrun in the 23-16 playoff win overthe Steelers that brought theBroncos to the AFC title game.

A winin Super Bowl 50 won’t just bringManning a second Super Bowlring, it would be Denver’s firstchampionship since Elway’s MVPperformance in 1999’s Super BowlXXXVIII. And for a quarterbackwho may be playing his finalgame, it would offer sweet re-demption and a sweeter farewell.

Against New England in the AFC title game, Miller’s playoffrecord 2.5 sacks led Denver’stotal of 4. The Denver defensealso had two interceptions, in-cluding one by Miller, andthwarted two fourth-down at-tempts to gain first downs.

For Manning to match Elway,who played college football atnearby Stanford University, withtwo Super Bowl wins, Denver’sdefense will need to continue itsstout overall play and force

Perusing the list of SuperBowl records for most titles, most appearances, or

even most championship gameslost won’t reveal the name of theCarolina Panthers. Unlike theirSuper Bowl opponent, the Den-ver Broncos, they don’t have aquarterback who has alreadywon a Super Bowl MVP award.They have but one previousSuper Bowl appearance—a three-point loss to the New EnglandPatriots in 2014’s Super BowlXXXVIII, courtesy of TomBrady’s first championship andfirst MVP performance. Prior towinning the NFC championshiplast month, the Panthers hadn’teven played in a title game for adecade. Now, in Super Bowl 50,they’ll be up against an experi-enced team playing for its thirdchampionship in its eighth SuperBowl game.

But the Panthers possess onecompelling, relevant record ontheir side as they take the field atLevi’s Stadium February 7th.They put together a stellar 2015season of 15 wins against justone loss. No other AFC or NFCteam had fewer than four losses

during the season, and Carolinais now 17-1 following two playoffwins. Past history may not be on the side of the Panthers, butcertainly confidence will be.

As will be the Panthers’ agilequarterback, Cam Newton, whomoonlights as a running back.The fifth-year starter for Car-olina, who passed for nearly4,000 yards and 35 touchdownsthis season, often enjoys takingan elusive stroll in which hehimself carries the football intothe end zone. He’s scored fivetouchdowns this year and is fa-vored to garner the league’s reg-ular season MVP award.

With accomplished receiverssuch as Carolina’s Ted Ginn Jr.and Jerricho Cotchery, alongwith tight end Greg Olsen, New-ton has plenty of targets to aimat from the pocket. And whenneither throwing or runninghimself, Newton can hand offthe ball to running back JonathanStewart. Although Stewart hasbeen nursing an ankle injury oflate, he should be ready to go bygame time. One of the offensivelinemen opening holes for Stew-

art and protecting Newton frombeing sacked is newly acquiredoffensive tackle Michael Oher, ofthe film “The Blind Side” fame.

Following last season’s mediocre7-8-1 finish, Panther GeneralManager Dave Gettleman statedat a press conference that “Weneed to get faster,” also noting,“Offense scores points and de-fense wins championships.”

Acting on his own advice, beforethis season began Gettleman ac-quired speedy safeties Kurt Cole-man and Roman Harper, along

anyone needed convincing thatCarolina deserves to play forSuper Bowl 50, the Panthers pro-vided it with their dominating49-15 win over the Arizona Car-dinals for the NFC title. On SuperBowl Sunday the Panthers willbe the team with the NFL’s sea-son-best record, and a team withonly one loss in nearly sixmonths can credibly claim itdoesn’t like to lose.

Just northwest of downtown you’ll �nd “America’s Best Rose Garden” - The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, blooming with more than 4,000 eye-popping rose shrubs and 189 varieties. Nearby, The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium (with an impressive garden of its own) houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on exhibit in the western United States -- including objects from pre-dynastic times through Egypt’s early Islamic era. Architecturally inspired by the Temple of Among at Karnak, the museum houses a replica tomb.

EAST SAN JOSEEast San Jose is a fantastic showcase of the diversity of the city with Little Portugal and Little Saigon both found along East Santa Clara Street. San Jose is home to the largest Vietnamese population of any city outside of Vietnam, and while the population is integrated throughout the city, the heart of the community resides just southeast of downtown. The Grand Century Mall on Story Road is a popular place to shop for Vietnamese goods and experience the full Vietnamese food court, and don’t forget to partake of a traditional bhan mi sandwich at the original Lee’s Sandwiches.

There is so much to do in San Jose, that visitors cannot possibly �t it all into one visit. When you add all of its highlights with the ease of access to such Northern California highlights like the redwoods and wineries of the Santa Cruz mountains, the charming beach communities of Monterey Bay and of course, proximity to San Francisco, San Jose is a destination you will want to visit again and again.

Levi’s®Stadium...

Santa Clara’smost recent stunningachievement!The opening of Levi’s® Stadium in timefor the start of the NFL’s 2014 seasonlaunched a new chapter in the City ofSanta Clara’s history. The City’s previous163 years had already given its residentsand businesses many reasons to beproud of their community, from its significant role in California history to its rich agricultural heritage, innovativetechnology companies, and enviablequality of life.

Now, Levi’s® Stadium showcases themany assets of today’s community andprovides incredible opportunities forthe city of tomorrow.

Green Building fora Green City For decades the City of SantaClara has been an innovationleader in protecting and pre-serving the environment, re-ceiving national recognitionfor its energy and water con-servation programs. Giventhese values, it was importantfor the largest capital project inthe City’s history to representthe best in green building tech-niques—and Levi’s® Stadiummore than meets that goal.

Sustainable concepts were incorporated throughout thestadium’s design and construc-tion, making it the first U.S.professional football stadiumto achieve LEED Gold certifi-cation as new construction.Special environmental designfeatures include: • 85% of the water used

throughout the stadium (toi-lets, irrigation, coolingtower) is recycled. Levi’s®Stadium is the first dualplumbed sports stadium inCalifornia.

• A 27,000-square-foot “greenroof ” on the Suite Tower isplanted with native flora.

• 75% of the stadium’s con-struction materials were re-

cycled. 100% of the wood usedto construct the East suiteswas reclaimed from an air-plane hangar at nearby Moun-tain View’s Moffett Field.

• LED bulbs are used in 40% ofthe stadium lighting. (LEDscannot be used for the onfield lights due to theirpropensity for altering thecolor of players’ uniforms onTV broadcasts.)

• Solar panels on the westernroof of the stadium and threepedestrian bridges generate375 kilowatts of electricity,about the same as 100 resi-dential rooftop systems.

ConstructionMilestonesStadium construction was anamazing feat of design, engi-neering and perseverance.

A pivotal moment in the sta-dium’s history occurred in Sep-tember of 2011. After intensediscussions and more than afew sleepless nights, the sta-dium’s contractors developedan ambitious plan to carve afull year off the initial con-struction schedule so the sta-dium could open for the 2014football season rather than

waiting until 2015. The de-manding new time line was asfollows.• Make Ready: January-De-cember, 2012. A major pub-lic works project cleared allpre-existing undergroundutilities from the footprint ofthe new stadium.

• Getting Started: April,2012.A celebratory formalgroundbreaking ceremonywas then followed by 26months of all-out construc-tion activity performed by ateam of 1,200 daily workers.

• Deep Foundation: May,2012. A total of 3,080 sup-port pilings were installed injust 30 days. If laid end toend, they would stretch allthe way from Levi’s® Stadiumto Candlestick Park!

• Steelwork Rises: August,2012 – January, 2013.Erection of the stadium’ssteel beam superstructurebegan. Four separate crewswith cranes worked simulta-neously in different quad-rants of the stadium, puttingin place approximately 200beams a day until all 14,000were completed in recordtime, secured by 127,000 bolts.

• 1,850,000 square feet in size—twice thesize of Candlestick park, the San fran-cisco 49ers’ previous home.

• 69,900 seats, including 45,000 on thelower level, 18,000 on the upper leveland 176 luxury suites. The closest seatsto the playing field let fans view the ac-tion from just 10 feet away!

• Two colossal hD video scoreboards, each48 feet tall and 200 feet wide, are the

largest of their kind in outdoor arenas.

• The NfL’s first automatic, collapsible fieldgoal posts increase safety and ease oftransition for non-football events.

• As expected for a facility in high-techfriendly Silicon valley, the stadium’samenities include full access to Wifi, mo-bile connectivity, and approximately2,000 IpTv monitors.

Levi’s® Stadium features at a glance—why it’s the best in the U.S.

4 GUIDE TO SANTA CLARALEVI’S STADIUM

• Stadium Named: May,2013.Levi Strauss Co. wasannounced as the namingrights sponsor of the stadiumin a $220 million, 20-yearagreement, with sponsorshipfunds contributing to thecost of building and operat-ing the stadium.

• Energy Efficient: October,2013. Phase one of the solarinstallation was completed asLevi’s® Stadium became thefirst NFL Stadium to openwith a LEED Gold certifica-tion. At their peak, the solararrays generate enough en-ergy annually to offset thepower consumed at the sta-dium during regular seasonhome football games.

• Bridge Installation: Decem-ber, 2013. Three pedestrianbridges weighing 134,000pounds each were put intoplace over San Tomas Creek ,giving fans convenient accessto the stadium from west sideparking lots.

• Green Field: April, 2014.The playing field’s BermudaBandera grass sod arrivedand was laid in place.Bermuda Bandera is shade

tolerant and known for re-bounding quickly from wear.The roots for the playingfield’s grass were firstplanted in Merced County inthe fall of 2012 and moni-tored closely for 18 monthsbefore being installed in thestadium’s field.

• It’s Done! July, 2014. Allconstruction was completed.

New Community Gathering Spot Levi’s Stadium has already be-come a place for residents toconnect with friends and showoff to visitors. Except for abrief period immediately lead-ing up Super Bowl 50, the mainentry plaza at the northwestcorner of the stadium on Tas-man Drive is open to the publicand provides access to the SanFrancisco 49ers Museum pre-sented by SONY, the 49ersTeam Store and MichaelMina’s Bourbon Steak & Pub.

The 49ers Museum showcasesteam history with interactivegalleries and historic artifacts.

The two-story museum in-cludes the Edward J. DeBartoloSr. 49ers Hall of Fame andSuper Bowl gallery, and theDenise DeBartolo York Educa-tion Center with a state-of-the-art classroom for hands-onactivities for visiting students.The stadium hosts field tripsfor approximately 60,000schoolchildren annually.

Bourbon Steak & Pub is amulti-level, dual-purpose din-ing spot that seamlessly com-bines a sophisticatedsteakhouse and casual diningpub, both created by JamesBeard award-winning chefMichael Mina. On game daysthe restaurant is home to amembership-only tailgateparty, but for the rest of theyear it has added a new upscaledining choice to Santa Clara’srestaurant scene.

The City of Santa Clara haslong been a community onthe leading edge of innova-tion and progress. Now, as it grows into a world-recognized city of stature,a great effort is being madeto retain the character thathas always made it such aspecial place to live, workand visit while at the sametime taking advantage of thetremendous opportunitiesthat will define its future.As part of this transition, theCity of Santa Clara devel-oped a new brand to reflectboth the community thatexists today and the onethat will exist tomorrow.

The purpose of a “brand” is todefine the values, prioritiesand characteristics of an entity,conveying its attributes andpersonality with a clarity thathelps differentiate that entityfrom all others. Santa Clara’schallenge was to develop abrand that would showcase

the outstanding quality of lifeenjoyed by its residents, recog-nize Santa Clara as a fun desti-nation for tourists, distinguishthe city from others in the re-gion, and appeal to businessesinterested in investing in SantaClara’s future. The process began in 2014 withthe appointment of a MarketingCommittee composed of Coun-cil members, other City staff andcommunity stakeholders. Theirambitious goal was to bringinto being a brand architectureencompassing an updated Cityseal, a dynamic tagline, a newcolor palette and design guide-lines for all City communica-tions so that Santa Clara couldconvey a clear, cohesive andconsistent message to residents,businesses and visitors.

Santa Clara’s New BrandReflects Its Unique Characteristics After exhaustive research aconsulting agency, Red Peak,was selected from more than adozen firms specializing inbranding. The Marketing

26GUIDE TO SANTA CLARANEW BRAND IDENTITY

Santa Clara’snewbrand identitysymbolizes thecity’s rich pastand bright future

Committee worked closelywith Red Peak to define theCity’s best attributes and mostdistinctive characteristics. The process identified severaltagline options, with “The Cen-ter of What’s Possible” selectedafter consistently rating higherthan the others. This taglinereflects the City’s central loca-tion in Silicon Valley as well asthe aspirational feelings thathave drawn pioneers, inventors,entrepreneurs and immigrantsto Santa Clara for decades. Twelve icons have been createdhighlighting key attractions,

activities, institutions and thebenefits of living, working andvisiting the City of Santa Clara.These include the state-of-the-art Levi’s Stadium®, the city’saward-winning library, the convention center, educationalinstitutions, hundreds of acresof public parks, an advancedpublic transit system, and focuson renewable energy sources.

The New Color PaletteHelps Tell The StoryThe outline of the City’s borders is a primary graphic element in the new brand identity, reminding viewersthat Santa Clara is the vibrantheart of Silicon Valley action. A key component of the City’snew brand is the distinctivecolor palette to be used for pub-lications, signage, ads, andother marketing materials. Likeall other aspects of the brand,color selection was carefullyconsidered to reflect SantaClara’s singular attributes. The color terracotta was cho-sen the brand’s primary colorbecause it represents the adobeand stucco walls and tile roofsof the city’s earliest buildings.

Blue and green were selectedas accent colors because theyreflect those painted on thewalls of Mission Santa Claraand other historic buildings. In addition to this definedcolor palette, the brand in-cludes two specific typo-graphic fonts: “Sentinel,”whose traditional appearancerepresents the City’s history,and “Graphik,” which is moreforward-looking to representthe City’s future. Effective brands are those thatring true, making a promisethat the brand entity can deliver. For example, RollsRoyce represents enduring luxury. Disney is always family-friendly. Ocean Spray is allabout cranberries. The City of Santa Clara’s brandaccomplishes this by incorpo-rating the unique culture andheritage that has defined theCity for generations. The inspi-rational and ambitious promiseof its tagline—“The Center ofWhat’s Possible”—is realisticshorthand for the tremendouspotential that lies in SantaClara’s future and that of thepeople who choose to live, workand visit here.

At the center of everything Silicon

Valley has to offer, the City of Santa Clara is poised for greatness.SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY

A healthy business environmentdepends on a number of factors,including a robust local econ-omy, innovative governance,high quality of life, and readyaccess to materials and a skilledworkforce. Effective servicesare also part of the equation,and perhaps no service com-modity is more pervasive andimportant than electricity.

Silicon Valley Power (SVP) isthe community-owned not-for-profit municipal electricutility in Santa Clara. SVP hasearned a reputation for over100 years of operation as one ofthe nation’s most reliable elec-tricity providers while main-taining the lowest rates inCalifornia. Low prices, qualitypower and customer serviceprompt commercial and resi-dential customers of SVP toscore the utility remarkablyhigh in independent surveys.

Electric rates 16 to 43 percentlower than those in nearbycities save SVP customers over$100 million annually com-pared to what they would payin neighboring communities.

Large international companiesjoin numerous small- to mid-size businesses in profitingfrom high-quality low-cost

power in Santa Clara. Thecommunity also supportsSVP’s ongoing efforts to utilizegreen or low-impact generat-ing sources for its power port-folio, which is over 50 percentcarbon free.

“Our responsibility is to pro-vide residents and businesses

with affordable and reliableelectricity,” said Larry Owens,SVP’s manager of customerservices. “Even a minor hiccupin our service can prove expen-sive for businesses and incon-venient for our residents, so wemaintain and continually up-grade our local power grid in-frastructure with that in mind.”

Low-Cost, Reliable PowerEnergizes Santa Clara Community

From the San Francisco Peninsula to Monterey, winemakers

have found grape-growing perfection in the coastal climate of

the Santa Cruz region and the warm, rolling hills of southern

Santa Clara County. Defined by the rugged Santa Cruz Moun-

tains, these two distinctive landscapes and climates host more

than 75 small, family-run wineries. Since the first Spanish

settlements 200 years ago, vineyards have flourished in these

sunlit canyons and foothills crowned by stands of oak and

redwood. In the late 1800s, European entrepreneurs arrived

with cuttings of Zinfandel and Riesling and began planting

vineyards along the east-facing slopes. More recently, growing

acclaim for the region’s wines has led to a boom in new plant-

ings. Whether touring the rolling back roads of the southern

Santa Clara County vineyards or the more precipitous slopes

of the Santa Cruz Mountains, you’ll encounter unforgettable

scenery along with some of the world’s most distinctive wines.
