2. STLF BRAND VOICE
The best brands stand for something:
a big idea, a defined set of values,
avoice that stands apart.
STLF is a successful organization
driven by a set of beliefs it holds
dear. How these beliefs are
communicated to existing
shareholders and people new to the
organization need to be shared in a
consistent, impactful manner.
After working with STLF leadership,
the traits to the right kept rising to
the top and will become the guiding
voice for future communications.

STLF BRAND MARKS
Before adding color or photography STLF
needs a strong brand mark at its core.
The marks shown here will create bold
impact and provide the basis for STLF to
increase its emotional tie to stakeholders.
The key vehicle for STLF to engage intelli-
gence, imagination and emotion in a way
that no other learning does will be the con-
stellation symbol we have integrated into the
STLF brand mark.
A brand identity also needs to be flexible to
suit the many various visual needs of an or-
ganization in a coherent and clear manner.

ergy and fun awaiting STLF participants.

6. PHOTOGRAPHY
One of the greatest attributes of STLF is the
team-oriented fun apparent in all photos captured
on STLF excursions and events.
The focus of all photos should be to share the ex-
citement to be had in a creative and fun manner.
Inventive crops can be great for adding visual
interest, but the key is to communicate that STLF
events are a great way to do some good while
having a great time.
7. STLF BUSINESS CARDS
Brand identity is tangible and appeals to
the senses. You can see it, touch it, hold it,
hear it...
The business card is one of the first items
shared when meeting professionally with
potential supporters, donors and potential
public relations contacts.
The cards have been designed to bring the
aspirations of the team to life in a profes-
sional, yet energetic manner.

ing of the new platform will unite STLFers

plan for their next trip as well as a vehicle for
growing the brand with folks unfamiliar with STLF.

ence. We should leverage these moving billboards
through the application of the new STLF brand
and take it on the road.

bers of potential participants and supporters will
