MAKE THE

GAME.

PLAY THE

GAME.

The essential nexus for new and experienced

game industry professionals, Game

Manufacturers Association (GAMA) serves to

promote its members common interest–to

increase the adoption of and engagement

with hobby games. GAMA fosters networking,

sharing of best practices and innovations, and

the pooling of resources toward common goals.

GAMA achieves this through hosting trade and

consumer shows, industry events, providing

an information and resource hub, marketing

activities, and interfacing with other trade

organizations in adjoining industries.

LOGO

.05


PRIMARY LOGO

APPLICATION

Striving to drive the tabletop

industry forward, GAMA is built on

three distinct pillars: Networking,

Advocacy, and Education.

These pillars are represented by the

three colored chevrons in the GAMA

logo shrouding GAMA’s core; our

members.

Our wordmark is primarily

represented by a red core and

multicolored surrounding chevrons.

Its color and fill may be changed

to adapt for any application. It can

also be used in white over black.

.06


RESPONSIVE

DESIGN

As marketing evolves, so must we.

‘Responsive logos’ explore how

the GAMA brand might adapt

for today’s multiple devices and

screen resolutions.

Applying responsive design

principles to individual elements

of a logo, and stripping out detail

in relation to screen size, gives us

a more legible and appropriate

logo. The concept aims to move

branding away from fixed, rigid

guidelines into a more flexible

and contextual system.

.07


CLEARSPACE &

POSITIONING

The wordmark should always

be surrounded by generous

white space. The diagrams to

the right define the minimum

amount of clear space

needed, which is based on

the height and width of the

“M” as well as the height of

the chevron.

This is to ensure the

logo’s visual clarity and

effectiveness.

.08


INCORRECT

USAGE

As with any dynamic brand,

there will be elements that

are open to interpretation.

The GAMA logo is based

around common sense.

If what you’ve done seems

off, it probably is. To help,

we have highlighted some

things that should never be

done to our logotype.

Do not outline.

Do not use drop-shadows.

Do not distort properties.

Do not rotate.

Do not shear or skew.

Do not apply effects or graphic filters.

GAMA

Do not use any off-brand solid colors.

Do not alter the fonts.

PRIMARY LOGO

APPLICATION

Striving to drive the tabletop industry forward,

GAMA is built on three distinct pillars: Networking,

Advocacy, and Education.

These pillars are represented by the three

colored paralellograms at the core of the

hexicon. They signify the gathering of these

pillars at GAMA EXPO each year. The red

chevrons embody our membership, making their

way to the Expo for collaboration, education,

and networking.

Its color and hexicon may be changed to adapt

for any application. It can also be used in white

over black.

DYNAMIC

APPLICATION:

HEXICONS

Locking down some logo

elements while setting others

free to change give the

Networking

Communication

Thematic

brand a dynamism that allows

GAMA and GAMA EXPO

to connect in different ways

with different audiences; it

needs to represent a lot.

Fixing the wordmark ensures

that the GAMA and GAMA

Advocacy

Publishing

Retail

EXPO logos are always

recognizable. This enables

us to play with the color and

interior design of the hexicon

and let it help express what

we want to say and to whom

we want to say it.
