One Albuquerque Brand Guidelines

Why Brand Guidelines?

The key to the value of well-known brands such as Apple, Nike, Starbucks, Target and United Way, to name a few, is that the owners/users of these brands have adhered to a strict set of guidelines for the use of their logo and other graphic standards in all communications, marketing and advertising. These guidelines, when strictly followed, result in a brand that is strong and stable, and is easily identified in the marketplace. Each and every application of the brand is a deposit in the bank of brand equity which continues to build and grow.

One Albuquerque is committed to building brand equity through the use of a consistently designed communications plan. Through the use and adherence to the graphic standards of this template, in concert with other initiatives, programs and policies, we expect One Albuquerque to achieve the top-of-mind recognition that will elevate the organization’s impact and reach to a much broader and deeper audience.

Permissible Uses of the Brand Style

One Albuquerque’s Brand Guidelines should be considered a living document and thus will change or evolve as we continue to clarify the brand attributes.

One Albuquerque’s new brand guidelines are effective beginning June 1, 2018.
