When you’re in a battle against an almighty enemy (the seemingly endless supply of dull online learning that gets cranked out throughout our industry), it pays to know yourself and to know where your strengths lie.

As any professional designer should understand, it’s not that simple. Even if you (a designer) are not color blind, over 8% of your male clients are likely to be, as are 8% of their male target markets (color blindness is rarer in females — more like 0.5%). If your design work is unsightly or hard to read for this substantial group, you’ve made a pretty huge mistake.
And say you want to design but do happen to be color blind? Not a big deal. Learn a few tricks and you’ll be fine.
In this slide, we’ll give pointers for non-color blind designers on how to consider a color blind audience, and tips for color blind designers on how to keep your colors straight.

3. The positive perception of the 2004 East Coast Music
Awards and Conference depends to a large extent on
the consistent application of its visual identity standards.
Questions About the Visual Identity Standards
Whether on business cards, stationery, signs, posters,
brochures or in audio-visual presentations, each design
use of the visual identity communicates and reinforces
the 2004 ECMA image to its audiences.
Original artwork of the ECMA 2004 logo and
slogan can be obtained for use on Macintosh
and PC computers.
Following guidelines establish the basic look for each
use of the identity. This way we will begin to build and
strengthen awareness of our identity and event.
Any questions concerning the use of the
identification elements, or applications which
are not standard, should be reviewed by the
East Coast Music Association 2004 Event
Committee.

4. The Event Signature and Logo
Logo
The 2004 event signature consisting of the
logo “ECMA” and tagline is the event’s most
important identification element. The two
components form an inseparable unit with
proportions which should not be altered.
Both event signatures exist in English
and French.
The Logo
Tagline - Option 1
The logo is custom-drawn and should not be
used in text, or as part of a headline. When
the event name is mentioned in a text, it
should be written in the typeface that is being
used. (e.g. 2004 East Coast Music Awards and
Conference).
The Tagline
The tagline “YA KNOW YA GOTTA GO...
FLAT OUT!” is drawn in outline based on the
Decapot font. This enables the Mac and PC
user to print the event signature as an EPS or
TIFF file.
Tagline Options
Logo
The logo/tagline may be used in its entirety or
it may be used only with the words “FLAT
OUT!” if space is restricted.
Tagline - Option 2
4
5. Space and Size Relationships
The first example shows specific construction
proportions of the logo which may have to be
referred to for special applications.
The minimum space indicated around the
logo, as shown opposite, should
remain free of all additional elements so
as not to compromise the visual appearance
of the logo.
Minimum Size
1”
The second example indicates the minimum
size of the event logo. Sizes smaller than this
should be avoided.
Exceptionally, the logo without the tagline,
may be used such as on promotional items
(e.g. T-shirt). For this purpose the logo may
be further reduced.

6. Event Colours
Preferred Colours
The event signature is in two colours;
Dark Blue PMS 288 and
Metallic Silver PMS 877 .
Metallic Silver PMS 877
Dark Blue PMS 288

reproduced using four-colour process,
colors are achieved as follows:
Dark Blue
Cyan
Magenta
Black
100%
65%
30%
Metallic Silver
Black
40%
Dark Blue PMS 288 - 40%screen
Other Accepted Colours

or economical, a one-colour signature can be
used as shown opposite.
These colours can also be used with the
shortened tagline logo version as well.
Dark Blue PMS 288
Black - 40%screen
Black

7. Applications on Backgrounds
When applying the event signature or logo on
light backgrounds the corporate colours
may be used or alternatively the one-colour
signature in either Dark Blue or Black.
Dark backgrounds require the signature to
be reversed out white as shown opposite.
Light backgrounds - Full colour
Light backgrounds - spot color
Dark backgrounds

8. Incorrect Uses of the Event Logo
and the Event Signature
The signature and logo is the primary
identifier of the event. Its presentation should
always be consistent with the guidelines as
described in this manual.

shown opposite are not permitted. This
applies all logo and signature versions.
Do not change the alignments of any of the elements

9. Merchandise Usage
The corporate identification on hats, T-shirts
and promotional items such as bags, banners
and CDs, etc. should use the signature and/or
logo in a solid format

the application, the logo may be used in
Dark Blue PMS 288, as well as black or white
as show here.
