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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
