WAGGA WAGGA BRAND GUIDELINE
OUR BRAND STORY
Wagga Wagga is a proud city, and the largest regional city in New South Wales. It has unique features and differences that make it appealing to locals, visitors and businesses alike. It’s these features that will enable Wagga Wagga to compete and succeed in attracting visitors and private and public investment over the coming years as the momentum of national growth continues to move away from the capital cities.
Whilst perhaps lacking in some of the iconic symbols of other cities – no harbour bridge, no MCG, no seaside – careful analysis and consultation has revealed that Wagga Wagga’s unassuming presence actually belies a depth and an array of appealing features.
For those who take the time to experience these features, Wagga Wagga provides a vibrant, stable, progressive and endearing place to live, work, learn and play.
If we have one truly iconic symbol then it is without doubt the name. ‘Wagga Wagga’ resonates with uniqueness and great meaning both in Australia and internationally. This symbol is the core of our brand identity which is designed to reflect what we are today, and represent where we want to be in the future. The system however, is more than a logo. It provides the evolution of ‘good’ beyond sports and is designed to promote investment and visitation.
The new identity design itself consists of a flexible system of colours, typography, patterns, layouts, photographic style and a unique ‘graphic circle’ device. The system is designed to give a cohesive impression of Wagga Wagga whether we are promoting a local craft fair or investment proposal to State Government. Together, these elements capture the spirit, optimism and breadth of our appeal. Scratch the surface, and you’ll find a mix of ‘a hundred little good things’ that can make everyday life even better – be it for business or for the family. These are the ‘little things’ that individually or in combination can make a good life great. And these are the things that Wagga Wagga has in spades.

OUR CREATIVE PLATFORM
Wagga Wagga Brand Style Guide | 2011 ©
‘A HUNDRED LITTLE GOOD THINGS’ is the creative foundation for the Wagga Wagga identity system. It’s designed to highlight and celebrate the small things that make a big difference for locals, visitors or businesses in Wagga Wagga.
As an optimistic, approachable and artistic city, Wagga Wagga has the opportunity to embrace a dynamic creative approach to communications. Our people and our environment are distinctive and it’s essential that the authenticity of the people and place are captured. Supporting the photographic visuals are graphic elements such as the circular graphic pattern which reflects a sample of the ‘hundred little good things’, variety and diversity.
Also reflected is the strong cyclic connections people have with Wagga Wagga - once they’ve lived in or visited Wagga Wagga, it’s highly likely they’ll return. This creative platform allows for unique stories to be told, from individual testimonials to new events or business expansion. It has a longevity that will be replenished as the ‘little good things’ continue to grow and flourish.

OUR BRAND VALUE PROPOSITION
Every brand is complex and Wagga Wagga is no exception. The Brand Value Proposition below explains what the Wagga Wagga brand stands for. It represents the long term Brand Essence at the heart of all communications which is ‘The Great Good Place’.
To genuinely communicate this brand essence, everythingbranded as Wagga Wagga using this identity, including the lifestyle blend, service offerings, community programs, and all external communications, must be in line with the pillars, benefits, personality and proof points listed in the table. Use the Brand Value Proposition table as the main framework to plan, create and evaluate marketing and communications materials - both internal and external.
The most important references when creating communications are Wagga Wagga’s brand personality traits, highlighted in yellow: Understated Sophistication, Straightforward, Refreshing, Progressive and Gregarious. Some applications will emphasise two of the Brand Personalities for example, others may incorporate all five.
Wagga Wagga Brand Style Guide | 2011 ©
Note: The language appearing in the framework is not to appear as copy or text in brochures, advertisements or promotional material. It is intended for reference use only.
1.2
Wagga Wagga’s reach belies its size and its reality belies the often one-dimensional preconceptions people have of all Australia’s ‘inland cities’. An unassuming town of complements and contrasts where easy charm is backed by real strength of ambition and where a hundred little good things have the potential to make each day great – to live, to work, to learn and play.

While it’s important that these specifications are adhered to at all times, they’re not intended to restrict creativity. Rather, the aim is to encourage creativity within the parameters of the defined brand identity system.
OUR BRAND IDENTITY
These guidelines have been designed to inspire when creating Wagga Wagga communications. This document explains how to use the individual elements within the Wagga Wagga identity system and how to combine them to create a range of different applications with a consistent interpretation of the Wagga Wagga brand.
The applications in this guideline and those featured below are only a small sample of the options that the identity elements can create. As you’ll see throughout it’s paramount that the Wagga Wagga Brandmark remains prominent and uninterrupted.
1.3
BRAND IDENTITY2.The Brand identity elements are a family that together to bring the Wagga Wagga brand to life. All the identity elements originate from a single brand essence ‘The great good place’ and can be combined in a myriad of ways to create a range of design applications.
BRAND IDENTITY2. All seven brand identity elements originate from a single brand essence ‘The great good place’ and can be combined in a myriad of ways to create many design solutions for communications. The elements are distinctive in their own right, however when combined they have the potential to create highly distinctive applications to celebrate the opportunities and experiences of Wagga Wagga.
The following pages provide more detail on each of the elements including specifications and usage principles. Indicative applications are included along the way to demonstrate how the elements can be combined together culminating in a range of best practice examples to ensure the benefits and valuable stories of Wagga Wagga are clearly and consistently communicated.
The Wagga Wagga brand identity system is designed to strengthen the regions’ reputation as a desirable place to live, visit, work and establish business. The elements are personal and emotive, including people and landscape photography which can be used to tell personal stories and create a richer more intimate communication.
PICK & CHOOSE An application doesn’t need to use every identity element in order to be successful. Simple combinations of colour, typography, or texture can be just as impactful as using full colour photography.

2.1BRAND IDENTITY OVERVIEW
BRaND IDENTITY ELEmENTS
2.2BRAND IDENTITY BRANDMARK SPECIFICATION
The Wagga Wagga Brandmark is the most important element at the heart of the brand identity system. It incorporates the organic textural shape and the Wagga Wagga wordmark. The Brandmark celebrates the one truly iconic symbol that is without a doubt the name ‘Wagga Wagga’ which resonates with uniqueness and great meaning both in Australia and internationally.
To honour this asset the brandmark itself was crafted to capture the uniqueness and authenticity of Wagga Wagga, but also its approachability. There is still a subtle nod to the famous crow by the incorporation of a blue and black gradient in the organic textural shape, inspired by the sheen of a crow’s wing.
There are two versions of the Wagga Wagga Brandmark, the preferred Brandmark and the extended horizontal Wordmark. The preferred version is the circular Wagga Wagga Brandmark and this should be used whenever possible. The horizontal Wordmark is to be used as infrequently as possible and should only appear when the preferred Brandmark cannot be used for reasons of legibility or production limitations such as extreme horizontals.

BRaNDmaRK CLEaR SPaCEThe Brandmark needs to be surrounded by an area of clear space to allow it to remain prominent across communications.
Clear space is the non-print area surrounding the Brandmark. No other graphic elements should appear within this zone. Wherever possible, apply more clear space around the Brandmark than the minimum specified.
BRaNDmaRK (PREfERRED)This version of the Brandmark with the organic textural shape is the preferred configuration and is to be used on the majority of communications wherever possible.
The Wagga Wagga Brandmark artwork has been created for use on both coated and uncoated paper stocks.
BRaNDmaRK CONfIgURaTIONS BRaNDmaRK SPECIfICaTIONS
ExTENDED HORIzONTaL WORDmaRK (LImITED USE)The alternate extended horizontal Wordmark version may be used on communications when: • the preferred Brandmark configuration exists elsewhere on the communication • when the communication doesn’t require the formality of preferred Brandmark configuration. This Brandmark may be rotated -90˚for an extreme vertical banner format. See page 3.2 as an example. Limited use only.

mINImUm SIzETo avoid any possible legibility problems, the Brandmark must never be reproduced at a size smaller than specified. Ensure the Brandmark is reproduced at a size larger than the minimum, especially when the quality of reproduction e.g. newsprint, silk screening or embroidery, is questionable.
Do not alter the Brandmark to read ‘Wagga’ only
Do not compress, extend or distort the Brandmark
Do not alter the colours of the Brandmark
Do not reverse the Brandmark. The circular holding device is always positive ie. dark.
Do not rotate the Brandmark

INCORRECT USEThe Wagga Wagga Brandmark usage is simple and strict. It is an integral component of the identity system and it is critical that it is used correctly.
The examples shown opposite demonstrate ways in which the Brandmark should not be used.
2.3BRAND IDENTITY CHOOSING THE RIGHT BRANDMARK
When production methods restrict the quality reproduction of the full colour textural Wagga Wagga Brandmark, there are alternative Brandmark formats that may be used in limited circumstances.
It is essential the Wagga Wagga Brandmark remains prominent. Wherever possible, reproduce the Wagga Wagga Brandmark in full colour. For limited reproduction such as screen printing, embroidery or decal signage, the ‘One Colour Solid’ is the most appropriate. For items such as newsprint where colour may not be an option, the Brandmark may appear in ‘Greyscale’ or ‘Black and White’.
Wherever possible the Brandmark should appear on lighter backgrounds. Avoid dark backgrounds. The Brandmark full-colour halo is the last resort - only for very limited use with approval from the Wagga Wagga Brand Manager. The Wagga Wagga Brandmark cannot be reproduced in any other colour than those specified in these guidelines. Always reproduce the Brandmark from the digital artwork files supplied.
Wagga Wagga Brand Style Guide | 2011 ©
fULL COLOUR BRaNDmaRKUSE WHENEVER POSSIBLE
ONE COLOUR (SOLID) For embroidery/screen printing.
FULL COLOUR (HALO) For placement on dark backgrounds.Limited use with approval
GREYSCALEWhen production methods don’t allow for full colour reproduction.
BLACK & WHITEFor screen printing or vinyl templates as required.
2.4BRAND IDENTITY BRAND ENDORSEMENT & CO-BRANDING
To celebrate and promote Wagga Wagga local produce, artisans, and businesses, a brand endorsement device has been created to emphasise the provenance of the local products. An application of registration for usage of the device must be applied via email: [email protected] where full terms and conditions will be made available.
Once approved for usage, you will be registered for either Formal or Informal Brand Endorsement usage. Depending on the format of the application, the device should be positioned in a small scale at the base or reverse side of an application. Always ensure legibility and clear space principles around the device. Refer to the best practice examples for guidance on placement and scale.
Whilst there are multiple configurations available, simplicity and legibility are always paramount. For this reason we recommend
using the one or two line versions. The informal stacked expressions of the brand endorsements should be used in a limited capacity with approval from the Wagga Wagga Brand Manager.
When featuring the Wagga Wagga Brandmark with other partner brands, use a dotted 60% black line to separate the Brandmarks. In Wagga Wagga applications, the Brandmark should always lead, appearing on the right, or above the partner Brandmarks.

2.5BRAND IDENTITY COLOUR INTRODUCTION AND INSPIRATION
The colour palette is inspired by the energy, warmth and beautiful colours of the natural landscape in and surrounding Wagga Wagga. Each of the colours is drawn from the landscape and when combined they create a vibrant palette of colours that can be highly distinctive in communications.
The Wagga Wagga colour palette plays a key role in creating consistent, vibrant and recognisable communications. The colour palette is similar to the natural landscape with rich tones structured around bright hero colours. Several dark tones with base neutrals are also included. Each colour represents a feature of the surrounding region as shown below.
Always ensure there is a foundation of warmth and earthiness in an application by avoiding the use of white for backgrounds or type.
Opt for the beige or 5-10% black rather than a clean, corporate white. The colours can be combined as shown through Best Practice either using other colours or tones and tints of a core colour. No more than three colours should be used in a given application.
Always aim for a hero colour in an application and supplement with up to three supporting colours. Use colours of similiar tones, matching the tonal quality of the photography imagery whenever possible.

2.6BRAND IDENTITY COLOUR PALETTE SPECIFICATIONS
Accurate colour reproduction is critical to the success of the Wagga Wagga brand identity. When printing or manufacturing colours, they must remain true to these specifications.
The distinctiveness of the colour palette allows the brand to visually stand apart from other regional communications. The colour palette is the launchpad for the Wagga Wagga look.
The colour palette values for Pantone® spot colour, CMYK, RGB and HTML values are specified. Please note: the brand identity uses the Pantone® colour bridge™ colour management system.
All colours within the palette can be tinted to create further diversity and volume when designing. Please ensure when selecting tints, consideration is given to how colours will perform when printing. Tinted colours can be used in combination with solid colour, typography, light patterns or photography. This will assist in maintaining tonally based applications.

2.7BRAND IDENTITY PHOTOGRAPHY OVERVIEW
Photography is one of the most important elements of the brand identity, helping to bring the Wagga Wagga brand personality to life. Two photography styles have been developed to capture a range of experiences from business to leisure. The photographic styles convey the unique richness of the region.
1. HERO PHOTOgRaPHYHero photography is used as a visual element usually featured on front covers or high visibility positions. It has a high quality and rich natural light source which focuses on capturing the the people, distinctive landscape and moments experienced as part of the Wagga Wagga region.
2. SUPPORT PHOTOgRaPHYSupport photography works in a secondary role. It captures and documents in a more literal way the many facets and experiences possible in Wagga Wagga. The imagery is often more expected location shots, object details, retail and residential content.
Wagga Wagga Brand Style Guide | 2011 ©
PEOPLE • Heroes in real light • Candid moments • Authentic and real • Portrait/family and group shots • Inherent sense of energy and optimism

2.8BRAND IDENTITY SIGNATURE GRAPHIC PATTERN
The Wagga Wagga graphic patterns are an extension of the brand and are used as a visual signature to capture the idea of ‘a hundred little things’. Their organic forms and configuration create an optimistic and energetic signature texture that can be used across photography and flat colour.
The organic circles may be open to interpretation including reflecting individuals, collective energy, diversity, river flow, return cycles and even sport. Patterns can be re-coloured based on the colour palette, as well as rotated and scaled. This increases flexibility and variety across various formats. A strong and consistent use of the graphic pattern will increase memorability of applications and reinforce the communications as coming from the Wagga Wagga brand.
As a distinctive foreground element, the graphic patterns must be carefully considered when used in combination with other elements such as photography and typography. As an integral component of the brand identity system, it is critical they are used correctly and do not overpower or dilute the message or legibility. The pattern is created using loose watercolour circles, overlayed with precise transparent white circles.

Due to the many design requirements for the Wagga Wagga brand identity, there is a need for added flexibility when using the graphic patterns. This will keep communications fresh and memorable.
Even when using the one graphic pattern, through the use of scale, cropping and rotation, each pattern is robust enough to create many exciting design solutions. The pattern can be used as a dominant background element or as a decorative accent in smaller areas. They are most effective when overlaid across photography, creating increased ownership of the visual image.
Shown below are layout examples of how the one graphic pattern is flexible and can be modified and combined across a range of applications and formats to create very different looks for Wagga Wagga communications.

gRaPHIC PaTTERN CUSTOm CONfIgURaTIONS Custom configurations of the watercolour dots can be created as needed for applications. Use the PSD files in the digital artwork section. N.B. There are two layers; one with watercolour circles, the second with transparent white circles which overlay the coloured circles. These white circles are an important detail of the graphic texture and assist in making it unique.

Pattern used minimally on flat colour device to support text
Pattern intergrating with hero photography and overlaying the horizon graphic
Pattern applied to tonal background in a directional configuration
Pattern in background wrapping around subject matter and intergrating into the landscape
Multiple patterns in multiple colourings, combining together as a design feature
2.10BRAND IDENTITY GRAPHIC TEXTURE & HORIZON SHAPE
Due to the many print and digital requirements for Wagga Wagga, the brand story can be expanded through the use the graphic texture and horizon shape device. The texture brings an organic tactile quality to applications.
Where possible, applications should be printed on textured, uncoated stocks. This will reinforce the natural, intimate and personal nature of Wagga Wagga. The paper will also reinforce a sense of sustainability. For applications that are online or cannot be produced using a textured paper stock, the graphic texture may be used to simulate this look. The linen and grain texture may be used as a background, masked behind graphic elements or overlaid with a colour field.
The horizon shape is used to reflect the vast landscape that meets the horizon. The natural curve can be used as a separation device to manage transitions between images and areas of solid colour. Ideally the device should only ever cover up to 1/3 of a cover. The horizon can only be positioned horizontally, and often at the base of applications. It must never be rotated 90° to appear as a vertical curve. Ensure the proportion is based on the artwork supplied so the curve is consistent irrespective of horizontal width.

2.11BRAND IDENTITY
Typography is a key brand element within the brand identity and sets the tone of Wagga Wagga’s communications. The identity system uses selections of weights within the following type families. These typefaces should never be substituted or replaced with alternate styles and unspecified weights and versions should not be used.
PERSONALITY TYPEFACE - DRESCHER GROTESK BT Drescher is a modern sans serif typeface that is informal yet confident and strong. When used sparingly in headlines, its unique character creates a distinctive element in communications. There are three weights available for use Light, Demi and Bold. Bold is recommended for headlines. Use Demi with limited use when setting sub-headings or information requiring additional hierarchy.
PERSONALITY TYPEFACE - FG SAGA FG Saga is a perfect extension of the Wagga Wagga brand, with its personal and unique handwritten quality that reflects a friendly human note. FG Saga should be used sparingly in headlines and to highlight text. Best used in combination with Drescher as shown below. There is one weight available for use. When setting Drescher and FG Saga together, upweight Saga manually to match the height of the Drescher characters.

Typography sets the tone of Wagga Wagga’s communications. The identity system uses a selection of weights within the following type families. These typefaces should never be substituted or replaced with alternate styles and unspecified weights and versions should not be used.
INfORmaTIONaL TYPEfaCE - mUSEO SaNS 300, 500 & 700Museo Sans is simple, legible and modern in style. It’s a workhorse typeface that plays a supporting role in the brand identity system and is used primarily for sub headings and body copy. Available weights are 300, 500 and 700.
If Museo Sans is unavailable as it is not a system font, please use Helvetica Regular and Bold as an alternative for Museo Sans.
PURCHaSINg aLL TYPEfaCESThe typefaces can be purchased from the following font suppliers: • Drescher Grotesk: www.myfonts.com • FG Saga: www.myfonts.com • Museo 300, 500 & 700: www.myfonts.com When purchasing, please ensure that you refer to their full name and correct weights for either your PC or Mac.
Wagga Wagga Brand Style Guide | 2011 ©
OUR INfRORmaTION TYPEfaCE Drescher Grotesk and FG Saga mix well together to highlight certain words or distinguish inspirational and informational language. Ensure one font always leads using it for 90% of the message. Accentuate the key word by changing font and also changing the colour to a similiar tone for additional emphasis.
MUSEO SANS 300 (LIGHT)MUSEO SANS 500 (MEDIUM)mUSEO SaNS 700 (BOLD)
INfORmaTIONaL DIVIDINg LINE The use of a circular dotted line as an informational design element within the system assists in legibility and pacing in text heavy applications. It helps to designate areas, highlight text and add hierarchy to information. The line can be coloured and run either horizontally or vertically. The suggested stroke on an A4 application is at 0.5pt or 1pt if a heavier look is needed.
INfORmaTION TYPEfaCE PRINCIPLES fOR a4 SCaLEEvery application should have three levels of information including a headline, sub heading and body copy. The level of information hierarchy can change depending on the level of content to include several levels of sub headings and a range of treatments for type as body copy information.
Level 1 typography – e.g. main headings • Headline option 1 - Set in Drescher Bold, all caps (preferred) • Headline option 2 - Set in FG Saga • Headline option 3 - Combination type of Drescher & Saga
Level 2 typography – e.g. sub headings • Sub heading option 1 - Set in Drescher Light, all caps FG Saga
Level 3 typography – body copy • Depending on the applications body copy can be set in Museo Sans in 9pt, 10pt or 11pt. • Smaller details such as terms and conditions and dates may appear at 7.5-8.5pt.

• The evolution of ‘good’ beyond sports
• A branding system beyond a logo to promote investment and visitation.
• Will be followed by a community toolkit for local community use.
FutureBrand has worked closely with the City Council and key representa-tives of the Community over the past5 months to define and encapsulate some of the unique features and
compete and succeed in attracting visitors, private and public investment over the coming years as the momen-tum of national growth continues to move away from the Capital cities. Whilst perhaps lacking in some of the iconic infrastructure symbols of other cities – we have no harbour bridge,no MCG, no beach – careful analysis and consultation revealed that Wagga’s unassuming face actually belies a depth and an array of features. For those who take the time to experience these features Wagga provides a vibrant, stable, progressive and endearing place to live, work, learn and play. We’re a place that gets under your skin and into your heart if you give it a go.Our broad-based community has
WAGGA’S NEW ‘HANDCRAFTED’ BRANDING CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OFA CITY WHERE A HUNDRED LITTLE THINGS CAN MAKE EACH DAY GREAT
MEDIA RELEASE
thriving retail, commerce, education, arts, defence and public sectors that have enabled us to weather the worst of recent economic storms – just asit will help us ride out our most recent meteorological challenges. Scratch the surface, look past the absence of ‘icons’ and you’ll find a mix of features that can make everyday life a little better – be it for business or for the family. This could be as simple as a jam-free commute to work for a relocated father, a preferable cost base for an expanding business, a range of avenues for an artistic teenager to explore and, of course, Australia’s best known sporting nursery. These are the ‘little things’ that individually or in combination can make a good life great. And these are the things that we in Wagga have in spades. This unassuming appearance and combination of small but ultimately life-enhancing talents led the team to the idea of a ‘hundred little things’ which was to be both the stimulation for our design work and a theme for future city communications. If we have one truly iconic symbol then it is without doubt our name. ‘Wagga Wagga’ resonates with uniquenessand great meaning in both Australia
and internationally. To honour this asset the logo itself was crafted by hand and where each letter form has been individually rendered with great care to capture this uniqueness and the authenticity. Unlike the brandingof many other Australian ‘growth’ cities, we chose not to add any ‘tagline’ or ‘strapline’ to our name as we believe that our name’s two words already speak volumes. We have also incorpo-rated a subtle nod to our famous crow by the incorporation of a blue-black background inspired by the sheen of crow’s wing. The new identity design itself consistsof a flexible system of colours, typogra-phy, patterns, layouts, photographic style and a unique ‘graphic circle’ device. These circles, used throughout communications, represent the variety and diversity of Wagga and evokes the sense of the renewal which is a feature of the place. The system is designed to give a cohesive impression of Wagga Wagga, whether we are promoting a local craft fair or investment proposalto State government. Together, we believe these elements capture the spirit, optimism and breadth of our appeal here in Wagga in a unique and professional manner.
Mayor Wayne Geale OAM, stated “from the outset this project was developed with the community in mind. Our plan over the coming months is to provide workshops for local groups and businesses to sample and use the tools so they can promote their own activities, benefit from synergies and ultimately enhance both their own ventures and our community as whole. Council congratulates FutureBrand on the extensive work that thay have undertaken. Council is delighted with the resulting brand and I personally, am very excitedat the opportunities that the new brand provides for Wagga Wagga”

2.13BRAND IDENTITY TONE OF VOICE AND MESSAGING
Use just the right tone. Words enhance the evocative power of images. They are the voice of the brand and should speak to the audience in an authentic voice. Encourage personal anecdotes and testimonials from people across all audiences to create a rich tapestry of stories to draw from.
Sometimes without even knowing it we change the way we express ourselves to different people. Wagga Wagga needs to speak to people on all kinds of levels - locals, visitors and business professionals to name a few. Altering the scale, placement and colour of type helps us to speak in a variety of tones of voice.
Based on the Brand Personality subtle variations create thethe differences between the tones of voice for each of the main audiences. The table below provides approaches for copywriting for all three key audiences.

2.14BRAND IDENTITY ILLUSTRATION
The Wagga Wagga illustration style is a loose, personal sketching style that provides an alternative to photography. Everyday objects are given new life and character which will be useful particularly for events and campaigns.
Illustrated objects are brought to life when combined with other graphic elements such as the graphic pattern, the graphic texture, both flat and tonal colour. The Wagga Wagga illustration style can be mixed and matched with the personality typefaces to create a myriad of unique applications. Ensure the imagery is irreverent and not too laboured or visually forced.
Illustrations will be ideally be commissioned using local artists or alternatively sourced from various online image libraries such as: • www.gettyimages.com • www.shutterstock.com • www.istockphoto.com • www.watermark.com
LINEaR ILLUSTRaTIONS Illustrations may appear linear and interact with a graphic pattern. Ensure the elements enhance the illustration as the hero element in the composition.
It is critical when selecting illustrations that they have the irregular hand drawn effect of the examples shown. Lineweight that is too thick and heavy will be at odds with the Wagga Wagga brand. Clip art should not be used under any circumstances!
COmPOSINg ILLUSTRaTIONS A range of objects can be illustrated individually and then clustered together. The familiarity of the objects and their style creates a distinctive look when placed over a solid colour field.
Experiment with scale and cropping when composing the illustrations together.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE For illustrations to work, images should be of single everyday objects. Highly detailed or com-plex object combinations should be avoided. Keep them graphic!

2.15BRAND IDENTITY OPTIONS TO LEAD AN APPLICATION
The Wagga Wagga brand identity system is flexible enough to create many exciting design solutions that all reflect the brand essence. When designing any communication there are two questions you should ask: ‘Who is the audience?’ and ‘Which elements will I use to communicate the message?’
When designing an application, select the most appropriate element to lead the design. Elements such as typography and the graphic pattern can be used as visual features or they can appear as a more subtle execution to combine with photography, allowing imagery to be the visual hero.
The examples below demonstrate the four key elements that may be used to lead an application. Each may take a different tone depending on the respective audience. Refer to the Best Practice section of this guideline for inspiration and a comprehensive look at the scope of Wagga Wagga applications that can be created.
Wagga Wagga Brand Style Guide | 2011 ©
ImagE LEaD Refer to the photographic principles when selecting an appropriate image. Complement with colour/graphic pattern.
ImagE LEaD - fULL BLEED Quality photography is essential when creating applications that use full-bleed photography. Ensure the image is on brand and does not appear ‘ordinary’. It should have a strong use of natural light and convey a sense of optimism.
TYPE LEaD The message is the feature. Ensure the appropriate personality of language and attention to detail when setting typography.

For the majority of applications, at least four identity elements are required in the composition including: • Photography • Graphic pattern/Graphic texture • Hero typography • Wagga Wagga Brandmark
The step-by-step thumbnails below provide a detailed indication of the process that should be involved when creating hero imagery. Where possible there must be a focus for the design, overall balance of the elements and a straightforward, refreshing, progressive or gregarious spirit. Refer to the ‘options to lead’ for additional considerations when using alternative elements to lead.
There are plenty of options to create distinctive communi-cations. Although the look and feel may appear to have a lot of freedom it does need to be used carefully and applied with attention to detail.
PHOTOGRAPHY LED APPLICATION: STEP-BY-STEP DESIGN PROCESS
1. IMAGE SELECTIONSelect desired image, and consider how it will be cropped for the chosen format. Ensure the visual quality and resolution is high if the image is to be placed on the front cover.
2. COLOUR PALETTESelect a colour from the palette which complements the image. This colour can be added in a horizon shape. A this stage, the graphic texture could also be added behind the image or in the horizon shape.
3. GRAPHIC PATTERNAdd the graphic pattern in an integrated way, or in a more prominent position. In this case the pattern follows the arc of the horizon shape. Be mindful of cropping and consider scaling and rotating to find the most appropriate configuration to use.
4. TYPOGRAPHY & LANGUAGE Add a headline, or key message. Consider the colour options available, always ensuring there is a hero colour within the application. Keep typography clear and legible. Adjust kerning of leading of messaging as required.
5. BRANDMARK ELEMENTSOnce the application has been crafted, add the Wagga Wagga Brandmark in either the top right or bottom right position on an application. It’s essential that the Brandmark is prominent and legible. Add the visitwagga.com.au URL set in Drescher Bold all caps, in the bottom left or right depending on the application.
