COLOR PALETTE USEIt is important that United Way local member organizations maintain a consistent appearance of the logo and all visual communications across various media types and materials. Using colors consistently in all communications will strengthen brand recognition, create impact and differentiate our programs.

The United Way for Southeastern Michigan color palette is comprised of unique shades of the United Way colors. In addition, the supporting palette is provided for added flexibility. On this page, you will find specifications for reproducing the United Way colors in a variety of ways.

Each of the varying areas of our work has a unique color swatch to represent that body of work. Please use these color assignments when creating assets for these areas of the work.

Contextual shot. This example has room for text (a picture that shows what the story is about)

Environment shot with space for text

Close-up shots with eye contact

Action shot (our subject in action “doing what they do”)

Wide-angle shot of subject (centered) in environment that aligns with the story.

IMAGERY USEA carefully managed approach toselecting photography will help positionthe United Way brand and create adistinctive and lasting impression. Using images from the provided shot list categories can help support text messages. It is important to select imagery that is dynamic, uplifting, caringand optimistic.

The main photographs in anycommunication should includepeople and be the dominant element on the piece. This approach is in line withour evolution from a fundraiser to acommunity impact organization. It isimportant to show diversity in age,ethnic background, profession andpersonal interests.

United Way community photos showthe interaction and contributions ofpeople in their communities. Showingfamilies in their homes, people in theirbusiness environments and friendshaving fun reinforces the benefitsderived from United Way initiatives andprograms. Dramatic perspective andinteresting cropping help give imagesan inspired feeling.

Photos should have ample natural lighting and clear depth of field/focus.

VIDEO, ANIMATION & INTERACTIVEGuidelines for video production alignclosely to those for print and other media:the logo and preferred placement, the brand color palette, typography andimpact graphic should be used.

The full-color version of the United Waylogo with white identifier and tagline is the only version that shouldbe used in screen applications.

To take advantage of the dynamic natureof video media, however, exceptions tosome of the guidelines can be made.

The brand color palette and the fontTrade Gothic Bold Condensed No. 20should be used.

ENDPLATES

ENDPLATESIt is important to provide viewers with access to additional information that the videos do not cover, thus, we suggest ending each video with the United Way for Southeasten Michigan website and social media icons. Throughout our branding, we use colors to signify the area of work we are discussing. This applies to videos as well. The subtlety of the endplates leaves one last reminder of the area of work the video covers.

SOCIAL MEDIA

PROMOTING SOCIAL MEDIA To engage audiences in United Way for Southeastern Michigan social media platforms, use the lock-up seen in Figure A.

RULES FOR IMAGERYIN SOCIAL MEDIAWhen promoting stories on social media, use beautiful, authentic imagery that is inalignment with our imagery guidelines.

In absence of imagery, use vector images of stacked type on a solid color background in alignment with our color and text guidelines.

On special occasions (holidays) vectorscan be added to enhance the stackedtype. This should not be done more thanonce in a month.

Do not place the United Way logo on images or vectors.

Replace dull link photos with relevant beautiful imagery.

RULES FOR CONTENTIN SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook is for community impact stories ONLY.

Videos should be posted native to Facebook when possible.

Twitter is appropriate for a vast array of content (but content always needs to addvalue).

Instagram is for images only. Vectors should be limited to holidays. Detail shots and behind-the-scenes content are encouraged in the social space.

All content should add value with a fun,motivating and inspiring tone.

COBRANDING

Cobranding is a strategic agreement between two or more partner brands to work together to achieve a desired goal. Cobranding encompasses a wide range of marketing activities including partnerships, promotions and sponsorships.

WHY COBRAND?• Establish or increase consumer preference for United Way;• Generate loyalty and brand differentiation;• Enter new markets;• Promote new campaigns and/or new angles of existing campaigns;• Engage the customer and drive relevance at multiple touch points;• Associate with other strong brands; and• Recognize sponsors and acknowledge investments.

WHEN NOT TO COBRAND• The opportunity is not mutually beneficial;• There is no value-add for United Way;• The opportunitiy is potentially harmful to our brand; or• Our branding cues and/or messaging are not accurately reflected.

COBRANDING KEY PRINCIPLESThese key principles give a framework for approaching all cobrandingopportunities:

• Present United Way as the dominant/lead brand (whenever possible − see brand dominance;)• Display the United Way logo prominently;• Leverage our brand guidelines;• Create a partnership environment where our brand feels organic to the experience; and• Consult the United Way Marketing Team for guidance for unique instances.

BRAND DOMINANCE EXPLAINEDBrand dominance means one partner will have the lead presence in executions, often emphasizing its visual system in marketing communications.

Brand dominance is determined during partnership negotiations and is influenced by factors such as financial and/or resource contribution, which partner is granting access to customers and maintaining that relationship, and which partner will host the experience. The expression of dominance is simple and can be achieved by the following tactics:

1. Placing the dominant partner logo in the most visible and valuable space (e.g. above the fold on a website, or at lower right on a billboard).

2. When partner logos are shown in close proximity, the dominant brand will be placed on the right.

COBRANDING APPROACH BASED ON DOMINANCEUNITED WAY DOMINANTUnited Way dominance is when United Way most heavily influences the communication experience. This is when United Way is driving the customer experience or if our resources are most depended upon.

United Way dominant experiences rely heavily on the United Way visual system for look and feel.

PARTNER DOMINANT COBRANDINGPartner dominance is when the partner brand heavily influences the communication experience. As a result, the partner brand is featured prominently and the design is geared toward its visual system.

While the execution will be driven by the partner brand’s visual system,it’s critical that we protect and appropriately display the United Way logo.

OTHER PARTNERSHIPSNot all partnerships have clear brand dominance. It is vital that we retain as many of United Way’s visual components as possible. These uses must be pre-approved by the Marketing Team before any design begins or agreements are entered into.
