GUIDELINES FOR RFC's BRAND, LOGO and NAME USAGE:
1. Include Roaring Fork Conservancy's name and RFC logo as a major element on all printed or electronic materials. When appropriate use the organization's tagline and three key issues.
2. Do not modify the logo by changing colors, adding or subtracting items, changing fonts, etc. In 2019, the RFC logo became a protected trademark. Use the trademarked logo whenever using the logo with tagline. The color logo with the tagline is the only one that is trademarked. (The black and white logo, and the color "Roaring Fork Conservancy" with the dipper and water scene with no tagline, are not trademarked.)
3. Make sure the logo is clearly seen. Do not use the logo smaller than 1"x1". Place only on lighter backgrounds when using a file with a defined clipping path. Otherwise use the logo in the white box on dark backgrounds. We do have a file with our logo on a black background that works well for presentations and films.
4. When possible use the color logo. On publications that will only be printed in black or one-colored ink, use the black and white logo. If the logo appears as embroidery, use the simplified color logo.
5. Use the correct logo file type (see below). Not all files types are the same. Some files are used for printing, others for websites and email.
6. Use the correct colors when printing materials:
BLUE
Pantone: PMS 293U RGB: 0-103-177
CMYK: 100-57-0-2 Web: 0067B1
GREEN Pantone: PMS 383U RGB: 178-187-30

GRAY
Pantone: PMS 404U RGB: 136-126-110
CMYK: 0-8-22-56 Web: 887E6E
7. When referring to the organization use Roaring Fork Conservancy whenever possible. Do not use the Roaring Fork Conservancy. If repeatedly using Roaring Fork Conservancy, you may abbreviate it to RFC.
8. Use the following fonts when writing documents for RFC:
a. Letters and official documents: Goudy 12-point
b. Excel spreadsheets: Arial 10-point
c. Headers within a document: Century Gothic 12-point or 14-point bold
d. Roaring Fork Conservancy and Tagline: ITC Legacy Serif Book e. Use ITC Legacy Sans Std and ITC Legacy Serif Std whenever possible on publications as they match our logo.
9. Use the following format for email signatures:
10. When in doubt, get input from other staff on how the logo should be placed on a document or item. Please email RFC brand designer (and board member) diane@schwener.com with any questions regarding the use of Roaring Fork Conservancy logos, colors or fonts. Diane did the rebranding in 2006 that yielded this new look in early 2007 and updated it with the trademark in 2019.
