A Message From <strong>Basketball</strong> <strong>Australia</strong><br />
Contents<br />
Previous Next Print Contact Exit<br />
2<br />
<strong>Basketball</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> has undertaken a<br />
rebranding exercise to develop and position<br />
the sport for future growth and development.<br />
The hierarchy of brands and logos has been<br />
revisited and a structured approach to the<br />
promotion of our brands, image and our<br />
logos has been developed.<br />
A professional branding agency, Acorn Brand<br />
Design, was appointed to undertake the<br />
project on behalf of <strong>Basketball</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />
A comprehensive market research project was<br />
also undertaken to evaluate our position in<br />
the market place. It was clearly identified by<br />
respondents that there was a lack of awareness<br />
and/or attachment to the current brand marks<br />
in the sport. The number of existing logos<br />
highlighted a fragmented and disorganised<br />
sport without a clear affiliation structure.<br />
Feedback was overwhelming in support of<br />
developing a master brand for the sport.<br />
Wide ranging consultation has been<br />
undertaken within the sport to discuss<br />
and progress the need for rebranding and<br />
determine the support for a more unified<br />
approach. As a result agreement has been<br />
reached with all states and territories and<br />
the NBL to jointly rebrand the sport as a<br />
whole and to implement a consistent brand<br />
across the whole of the sport.<br />
As part of the rebranding of <strong>Basketball</strong>,<br />
a strategic plan has been developed to<br />
address the stages of implementation of<br />
the new brand and logos. The plan outlines<br />
communication strategies as well as costs<br />
and time frames to implement the new brand.<br />

Why Re-brand?<br />
Contents<br />
Previous Next Print Contact Exit<br />
3<br />
The importance of building <strong>Basketball</strong>’s brand<br />
identity is vital to its success as a sport. It’s<br />
like a fingerprint; it reflects the mood and<br />
tone you want to capture in whatever piece<br />
of communication – advertising, newsletters,<br />
brochures, signs, web sites, and other<br />
marketing collateral.<br />
Strong branding allows every point of contact<br />
that an individual has with <strong>Basketball</strong> to<br />
reflect the same message. Having the same<br />
message doesn’t necessarily mean that every<br />
piece of communication must look the same.<br />
The new branding has the potential to provide<br />
a number of benefits to basketball nationally<br />
across all levels of the sport including:<br />
• an integrated link with all affiliates,<br />
developing a proud ownership of the sport<br />
• consistency across all programs<br />
• a recognizable coordinated approach<br />
to promoting the sport<br />
• clarity for the general community showing<br />
an organised and professional sport<br />
• launch of a new organisation and a new era<br />
for the sport<br />
• demonstrate a progressive and unified<br />
position<br />
• more visual appeal to target markets<br />
• create a positioning to be competitive<br />
with other sports.<br />

The Brand Mark<br />

5<br />
The <strong>Basketball</strong> brand mark is central<br />
to the sport’s brand. It may not be<br />
altered in any way unless specifically<br />
stated in the guidelines.<br />
The mark usually shown in this guide is<br />
<strong>Basketball</strong> everyone’s game. However,<br />
the same rules apply to the marks<br />
representing all sections of the sport.
Clear Space and Minimum Size<br />
Contents<br />
Previous Next Print Contact Exit<br />

Clear Space<br />
The <strong>Basketball</strong> brand mark is always<br />
surrounded by a minimum clear space area<br />
which must remain free from other type and<br />
graphic elements.<br />
X<br />
X<br />
The minimum clear space area is equal to the<br />
height of the ball symbol in the brand mark.<br />
This is measured from the outer edge of the<br />
white surround of all brand marks. The clear<br />
space area is proportional at all sizes of<br />
brand mark.<br />
X<br />
X<br />
X = height of ball symbol<br />
Minimum Size<br />
<strong>Basketball</strong> brand marks are measured on<br />
the height of the ball symbol. The minimum<br />
recommended size is 4mm. If reproduction is<br />
particularly crude, the brand mark may need<br />
to be larger.<br />
4mm

Only two examples of <strong>Basketball</strong> brand marks<br />
are shown here. All of the marks are shown<br />
in the document ‘<strong>Basketball</strong> Marks’. All marks<br />
are available as electronic files. The naming<br />
convention is the same for all marks.<br />
The preferred brand mark format for print<br />
is the enhanced spot version. All of the<br />
marks use <strong>Basketball</strong> Orange (Pantone 021)<br />
<strong>Basketball</strong> Black (Pantone Black 6) and yellow<br />
for the ball symbol.<br />
Some brand marks use additional colours<br />
If certain parts of these marks need to use<br />
process colour please use the enhanced<br />
CMYK brand mark rather than simply<br />
converting the colours in your software<br />
application. The most important special ink<br />
to keep is Pantone 021.<br />
Enhanced Spot This print format uses the Pantone<br />
and process colours (CMYK) to produce the most<br />
vibrant colour possible. This is the preferred format.<br />
Supplied as Illustrator CS3.<br />

Old Team Uniforms with Applied Branding<br />

<strong>Basketball</strong> branding may be applied to<br />
existing uniforms as an interim measure.<br />
Try to find a suitable area on the chest of<br />
the singlet and the bottom of the leg of the<br />
shorts. Here are some examples for you to<br />
follow when deciding how to apply the new<br />
brand mark.<br />
Use this approach in situations where you<br />
have existing uniforms that you want to<br />
update but will not do so for a season or more.<br />
Please see following page for new uniforms.<br />
Minimum Size<br />
The minimum size for any applied mark is<br />
17mm measured on the height of the ball<br />
symbol.<br />
NSW Metropolitan<br />
In this example the old <strong>Basketball</strong> NSW mark,<br />
seen here on the right of the chest is still<br />
on the uniform. It would not make sense to<br />
have the new and the old brand mark on the<br />
uniforms, so the updated mark featured is<br />
<strong>Basketball</strong> everyone’s game. There are limited<br />
placement options on this uniform.<br />
Sydney Comets<br />
The updated Waratah brand mark is placed<br />
on the chest and on the leg. In this case<br />
there was no previous Waratah mark on the<br />
existing uniform.<br />
Western Dragons<br />
The old NBL Hummer Championship mark<br />
is still on the uniform, so the updated mark<br />
featured is <strong>Basketball</strong> everyone’s game.

When new uniforms are ordered please place<br />
the appropriate brand mark on the right of<br />
the chest of the singlet and the right bottom<br />

Try to minimise visual clutter involving<br />
sponsor’s mark, clothing labels, team logos<br />
and <strong>Basketball</strong> brand marks. Only one<br />
<strong>Basketball</strong> brand mark may be used on a<br />
single garment.<br />
Minimum Size<br />
The minimum size for any mark is 17mm<br />

The <strong>Basketball</strong> NSW brand mark has been<br />
updated. The clothing manufacturer’s mark is<br />
only seen at the top of the shorts and as a tag<br />

on the chest and on the leg, but the sponsor’s<br />
mark has been moved away. The clothing<br />
manufacturer’s mark is only seen at the top<br />
of the shorts and as a tag on the seams of the<br />
uniform. Size information has been moved to<br />
the inside of the uniform.<br />

Signage will be used both inside<br />
and outside buildings, offices and<br />
stadiums.<br />
In most cases it will be used in<br />
conjunction with another brand mark<br />
within the sport, and the following<br />
guidelines should be applied.

Where possible, use a cutout sign for stadium<br />
signage. Whichever brand mark is used<br />
should be cut along the outside of the white<br />
surround.<br />
If a cutout sign is not possible a rectangular<br />
sign may be produced. The background of<br />
the sign is white. For signage, the minimum<br />
clear space may be less than usually<br />
permitted. The clear space is measured from<br />
the black housing to the edge of the sign.<br />
For the left, top and right allow 50% of X<br />
and for the bottom allow 60% of X.<br />
