Section 3<br />

Basic Rules of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> Brand Identity<br />

September 2003<br />

At <strong>the</strong> heart of all successful brand identity programmes are<br />

three absolutes...a well designed graphic image, a solid set of<br />

brand standards and <strong>the</strong> consistent application of brand graphics<br />

across all areas of implementation. <strong>Signage</strong> is <strong>the</strong> architectural<br />

display of <strong>the</strong> brand identity and an understanding of <strong>the</strong> basic<br />

graphic usage rules is paramount for its effective execution.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> following pages, we will discuss:<br />

• The brand signature, which is <strong>the</strong> logo medallion and<br />

logotype layouts.<br />

• The colour system.<br />

• The hotel naming and type font systems that are used to<br />

identify <strong>the</strong> individual hotel name and city designations.<br />

• The clear space around <strong>the</strong> brand signature that improves<br />

<strong>the</strong> readability of <strong>the</strong> logo medallion and logotype layouts<br />

when applied to <strong>the</strong> building and signage panels.<br />

Understanding <strong>the</strong> basic rules of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> Brand Identity<br />

is <strong>the</strong> essential first step. All of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> brand signage<br />

is based on <strong>the</strong>se design rules.<br />

Section 4<br />

Brand Signature<br />

The <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> signature is <strong>the</strong> graphic<br />

relationship of <strong>the</strong> logo medallion and<br />

<strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> logotype. They exist in an<br />

established format and should always appear<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r. The only exception is when <strong>the</strong> logo<br />

medallion appears alone on a building when<br />

space limitations prohibit use of <strong>the</strong> full<br />

signature.<br />

The centred orientation is <strong>the</strong> preferred layout.<br />

Two alternate orientations are provided for<br />

buildings with limited signage area. Careful<br />

use of <strong>the</strong>se sign formats may provide an<br />

opportunity to increase <strong>the</strong> overall size of <strong>the</strong><br />

sign, thus improving <strong>the</strong> long-range visibility<br />

of <strong>the</strong> sign.<br />

Section 5<br />

Colour System<br />

Colour is one of <strong>the</strong> most memorable and<br />

powerful elements of brand recognition.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> new <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> brand identity,<br />

<strong>the</strong> basic brand colours are <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong><br />

Gold, White and Crimson.<br />

Specifications for <strong>the</strong> colour system have been<br />

developed to ensure a consistent appearance<br />

across a broad range of materials including<br />

paint and translucent and opaque films.<br />

Adherence to <strong>the</strong>se standards is mandatory.<br />

Section 6<br />

Hotel Identity Naming System<br />

A precise naming policy and graphic layout<br />

has been established for <strong>the</strong> individual<br />

<strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> <strong>Hotels</strong> & <strong>Resorts</strong> properties.<br />

The objective is to ensure that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong><br />

brand name always has prominence.<br />

There are two elements in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong><br />

<strong>Hotels</strong> & <strong>Resorts</strong> naming system:<br />

• The <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> brand signature which<br />

always appears first when applied to signage.<br />

• The property or location name that helps<br />

identify <strong>the</strong> hotel by differentiating it from<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> properties in <strong>the</strong> same<br />

city. The Trade Gothic Bold 2 type font is<br />

used for <strong>the</strong>se names.<br />

Note: This naming system is used for all signs<br />

with <strong>the</strong> exception of <strong>the</strong> high level building<br />

signage, where only <strong>the</strong> brand signature (logo<br />

medallion and logotype) appear for improved<br />

long distance viewing.<br />

The graphic interrelationship between <strong>the</strong>se<br />

elements has been established and adherence<br />

to <strong>the</strong>se standards is mandatory.<br />

<strong>Plaza</strong> signature/location name specifications.<br />

Section 8<br />

Clear Space Rules<br />

(Preferred Centred Orientation)<br />

A “clear space” standard has been developed<br />

to improve <strong>the</strong> graphic impact of our brand<br />

identity. The clear space around <strong>the</strong> logo must<br />

be equal to or greater than <strong>the</strong> height of <strong>the</strong> “A”<br />

in “PLAZA.”<br />

Careful consideration must be given when<br />

applying <strong>the</strong> signature to all architectural<br />

backgrounds. Always observe <strong>the</strong> clear space<br />

area when positioning <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> signage<br />

to avoid infringement from architectural details,<br />

surface changes, outer limits of <strong>the</strong> building,<br />

etc.<br />

Section 9<br />

Selection Criteria &<br />

Programme Requirements<br />

September 2003<br />

General Selection Rules:<br />

"Bigger is Better"<br />

Select <strong>the</strong> largest signage available for <strong>the</strong> main brand identity<br />

on <strong>the</strong> hotel and its property. While it's important to keep signage<br />

in proper relationship to <strong>the</strong> architecture of <strong>the</strong> hotel, larger<br />

format signs provide <strong>the</strong> greatest long-range identification. When<br />

dealing with local zoning boards, always present a request for<br />

<strong>the</strong> maximum allowable signage.<br />

"Better Early Than Late"<br />

Think of effective signage as a series of wayfinding links, leading<br />

your guest to <strong>the</strong> hotel. The sooner you can provide information<br />

to your guest en route, <strong>the</strong> better. Consider applying for municipal<br />

motorway signage, if available, and try to implement long-range<br />

perimeter brand signs wherever possible.<br />

"Less is More"<br />

Carefully select <strong>the</strong> number of signs that are necessary to help<br />

direct <strong>the</strong> guest around <strong>the</strong> hotel. Using too many signs causes<br />

visual clutter that can detract from a good guest experience.<br />

Programme Requirements<br />

September 2003<br />

Special Zoning & Historic Location Issues<br />

While a primary objective of this programme is to promote a<br />

consistent <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> image, <strong>the</strong>re will be situations where<br />

local zoning or <strong>the</strong> heritage status of <strong>the</strong> hotel property preclude<br />

<strong>the</strong> implementation of <strong>the</strong> standard signage plan. In <strong>the</strong>se special<br />

cases, your regional InterContinental <strong>Hotels</strong> Group Technical<br />

Services Department will work with you to ensure that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong><br />

<strong>Plaza</strong> brand identity is protected while responding to <strong>the</strong> special<br />

requirements of that particular site.<br />

Upgrading Existing Hotel <strong>Signage</strong><br />

Any <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> brand signage upgrade must be implemented<br />

on a complete property wide basis. Under no circumstance will<br />

a partial change over from <strong>the</strong> old to <strong>the</strong> new brand signage<br />

be permitted.<br />

Code Compliance<br />

Selected sign companies accept total responsibility for site<br />

surveys, materials procurement, structural engineering, fabrication<br />

methods, and installation of sign components. The signage must<br />

comply with local codes governing <strong>the</strong> use of graphic messages<br />

and symbols. These regulations may address issues of accessibility,<br />

life-safety and visibility of <strong>the</strong> sign graphics based on colour,<br />

contrast and type style. IHG, its employees, design consultants,<br />

advisers, and agents shall not be liable for any errors or omissions<br />

in this guideline.<br />

InterContinental <strong>Hotels</strong> Group Exclusive Ownership<br />

Section 12<br />

High Level Building Signature/<br />

Overview<br />

Sign Type A<br />

Daytime/Nighttime Appearance<br />

For high level applications on light building<br />

colours, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> logotype is produced<br />

with letter faces that appear CP Crimson during<br />

<strong>the</strong> day and illuminating Crimson at night. For<br />

medium dark to dark building materials, <strong>the</strong><br />

letter faces appear white during <strong>the</strong> day, while<br />

illuminating Crimson at night. Always specify<br />

<strong>the</strong> letter face colour which produces <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

contrast during <strong>the</strong> day.<br />

For most installations, <strong>the</strong> high level linear<br />

signature is installed at locations where vertical<br />

surface area is limited. This generally occurs at<br />

<strong>the</strong> highest location on <strong>the</strong> building tower as<br />

shown in <strong>the</strong> photo illustration to <strong>the</strong> right.<br />

Special Applications/Roof-Top Installation<br />

Installation of a <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> roof sign above<br />

<strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> building line is permitted only in<br />

special applications. This installation may occur<br />

when <strong>the</strong> signature sign cannot be installed<br />

directly to <strong>the</strong> building due to space limitations,<br />

or lack of long-range visibility when <strong>the</strong> sign is<br />

installed on <strong>the</strong> physical building.<br />

The roof-top sign requires highly specialized<br />

structural engineering based on sign codes<br />

dictated by local ordinances, height of installation<br />

off <strong>the</strong> ground, and wind load factors calculated<br />

for <strong>the</strong> region. When used, conform to all colour<br />

and contrast standards that have been approved<br />

for use with <strong>the</strong> high level building signage.<br />

Sign Type G<br />

Design Options:<br />

These signs are a main focal point at <strong>the</strong> entrance<br />

doors to <strong>the</strong> hotel and must be carefully integrated<br />

into <strong>the</strong> header and porte-cochere structures.<br />

While <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> brand identity must match<br />

<strong>the</strong> established identity rules contained in this<br />

guideline, <strong>the</strong> fabrication details and material<br />

specifications will vary, depending on <strong>the</strong> specific<br />

building materials and style of <strong>the</strong> hotel architecture.<br />

Finishes on background panels and support<br />

structures should be compatible with <strong>the</strong> surrounding<br />

architectural materials.<br />

The examples to <strong>the</strong> right illustrate typical material<br />

options to <strong>the</strong> porte-cochere and entrance signage<br />

design.<br />

September 2003<br />

The three dimensional <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> medallion has three stripes and an oval border internally illuminated in CP Gold.<br />

The inlay area is opaque CP Crimson. The three dimensional <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> letterforms are finished in CP Gold to<br />

match <strong>the</strong> medallion and are halo lit. Letterforms and medallion are positioned on a CP Crimson background.<br />

The <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> medallion and letterforms are flush fit into a satin brass background<br />

and are internally illuminated in white.<br />

The <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> medallion is finished in highly polished brass with a minimal depth dimension.<br />

The inlay area is opaque CP Crimson. The <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> letterforms are finished in CP Crimson with<br />

a minimal depth dimension. The letterforms and medallion are pin mounted on a satin silver background.<br />

Even, exterior illumination is required for this design.<br />

Several fabrication methods are available when<br />

producing <strong>the</strong> logo medallion. In most instances,<br />

<strong>the</strong> background field within <strong>the</strong> oval shape is<br />

recessed below <strong>the</strong> outer ring and three stripes.<br />

The background can be paint filled to match<br />

<strong>the</strong> CP Crimson colour, with <strong>the</strong> outer ring and<br />

stripes highly polished. The background may<br />

also appear as a brass texture, in contrast to<br />

<strong>the</strong> polished brass ring and stripes. A very high<br />

quality appearance is achieved by casting <strong>the</strong><br />

logo to create a dimensional effect. See Sign<br />

Window/Door Application<br />

Sign Type J<br />

The <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> logo medallion may be used<br />

as a secondary brand identification graphic<br />

element. This application is intended primarily<br />

for <strong>the</strong> windows and doors in <strong>the</strong> hotel’s entrance<br />

area.<br />

Various methods may be used to apply <strong>the</strong> logo<br />

medallion including fine etching, gold leaf and<br />

<strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> vinyl film on <strong>the</strong><br />

second surface of <strong>the</strong> glass.<br />

The scale of this graphic is very important and<br />

it should be appropriately sized for <strong>the</strong> display<br />

area. This is not a long distance identification<br />

element.<br />

Never repeat <strong>the</strong> logo medallion or us it as a<br />

safety band.<br />

Reception Back Wall/<br />

<strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> Signature<br />

Sign Type<br />

Use of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> signature on <strong>the</strong> back<br />

wall of <strong>the</strong> reception area is dependent on <strong>the</strong><br />

interior architectural style of <strong>the</strong> hotel and<br />

available space. In some cases, <strong>the</strong> decor<br />

precludes <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> signature.<br />

In locations where it is appropriate to install <strong>the</strong><br />

signature, careful consideration must be given to<br />

<strong>the</strong> size, position and illumination of <strong>the</strong> sign<br />

and surrounding back wall. Only <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

quality materials and workmanship should be<br />

utilized in this initial guest focal point.<br />

1<br />

Logo Medallion<br />

Construction: Three dimensional cast brass<br />

medallion logo.<br />

Finishes: Polished brass outer ring and flag icon.<br />

Background painted <strong>Crowne</strong> <strong>Plaza</strong> Crimson or textured<br />

brass, contrasting <strong>the</strong> polished ring and icon.<br />

2 Logotype/Accent Bar/Location Name<br />

Construction: Satin brass letterforms, accent bar and<br />

city name, mounted flush to wall. Overall size varies<br />

by architectural conditions and available space.<br />

Note: See Sign Type H for similar details.<br />
