INTRODUCTION
PROTECT THE BRAND.
Every person has a unique look and personality, an identity all their own. The same is true for businesses. Each has an identity, or brand. If that brand is constantly changing its appearance or personality, people can start to mistrust the business, or forget about it all together.
That's why we need to protect our brand. And that is precisely what this Brand Continuity Guide is designed to do. It helps ensure that our corporate identity stays comfortably familiar and that every point of contact with the public tells the same story. By carefully managing logo usage, type direction, color reproductions, etc., we ensure that our brand maintains the highest level of trust and recognition.
New brand elements have been incorporated within the existing vertical segments to create a cohesive look across the Bard brand. Colors and fonts will be carried through each segment, so all Bard materials will have a consistent, unified look, reaffirming Bard's stance as an industry influencer and its history of innovation.
The color palettes, fonts, imagery and textures of the vertical markets are tied together with a graphic box that conceptually represents Bard's products. The box can be used in many different applications. This guide features several examples of the box's proper application, along with guidelines on how each vertical segment's brand elements incorporate into Bard's overall brand identity.
REFERRING TO BARD MANUFACTURING.
Our official, legal name is the Bard Manufacturing Company, Inc. This is the name used in all legal documents. However, it's easy to see how this formal name is cumbersome for use in marketing materials. So, for all outward facing marketing pieces, we refer to the company the first time as "Bard Manufacturing", then simply use "Bard" throughout the remainder of the piece.
For internal pieces, Bard Manufacturing should be used for the first referral, and then simply Bard or "the Company" ­ with an upper case "C".
When speaking of the Company, please use Bard Manufacturing. It is important to make sure we always differentiate between the Bard Family and the Company.

PRIMARY LOGO.
The primary logo is the workhorse of the Bard brand, and reflects the Company's storied history with a nod to its innovative excellence. The primary logo can be spotted by the three elements ­ the typographic element that includes the name and date in white, the red badge in Pantone® 200 with a subtle gradient, and the blue bar in 100% cyan. The space between the red badge and blue bar is always transparent, allowing the background to appear. When appearing on a color background or photo, the logo must have a difference in value of at least 50%. This version of our logo should be your first choice when selecting a logo, no matter what project you're working on. Alternate versions of the logo are available and can be used when design or production issues make it difficult to reproduce the primary logo clearly.
The logo is a registered trademark and should always appear with the circle R (®), with exceptions noted in this guide.
Graphic Proportions In order to maintain brand consistency, the logo must never be altered from its original graphic proportions. It is only to be used in proportion with the typographic element, red badge and blue bar as indicated below. The logo should never be cropped off.

LOGO VARIATIONS.
These alternate logos may be used when production or design issues make it difficult to reproduce the primary logo. When appearing on a color background or photo, the logo must have a difference in value of at least 50%. The space between the badge and bar on the right is always transparent, allowing the background to appear.

Flat This version is used when the production process makes it impossible to use a gradient in the red badge.

Reverse This version is used on a field of color or photograph. The color field shown is an illustrated example of a background only and not a control field around the logo.

Black and White This version is used when the production process makes it impossible to produce the logo in color. Screened versions of the black and white logo are acceptable.

LOGO RESTRICTIONS.
The Bard logo must always remain easily recognizable. No part of the logo may be altered in any way and must be reproduced only from approved artwork. Below are examples of unacceptable versions of the logo. These restrictions are here to maintain brand consistency.

Never change the colors in the logo.

Never change the typographic element or rearrange elements
of the logo.

Never stretch the logo horizontally or vertically.

Never skew or rotate the logo.

Never enlarge the registered mark or "Since 1914" copy.

Never add a keyline or box around the logo.

LOGO SAFE AREA.
Keeping other elements a comfortable distance away from the logo will give it the prominence it requires in any design. Other elements should always maintain a space equal to the height of the "B" around all sides of the logo art regardless of the size of the logo.

MINIMUM SIZE AND PLACEMENT.
In order to maintain readability and avoid print production limitations, the logo should never appear smaller than 1" on all traditionally printed marketing materials. While the logo can be located in many different places within a design, it should never be placed less than .5" away from the trim edge. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LOGO SHOWN HERE ON THE RIGHT MAY BE REQUIRED TO APPEAR SMALLER AND CLOSER TO THE TRIM EDGE ON SOME SPECIALTY MARKETING MATERIALS, SUCH AS PENS, PENCILS, APPAREL AND LABELS DUE TO PRODUCTION RESTRICTIONS. IN SUCH CASES, THE "®" AND "SINCE 1914" SHOULD BE REMOVED AND ONLY BE USED IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.)

DISTRIBUTOR LOGO USAGE.
When marketing materials feature a distributor which has a designed graphic/logo of it's own, it should have a specific appearance when used with the Bard logo and follow the graphic guidelines shown here.
Horizontal Distributor Logo Template The distributor logo should be centered vertically with the bard logo and be shorter in height. The distributor logo should be placed to the right of the Bard logo, equal in distance to the width of 2 "B"s. A 70% black keyline is centered between the logos with the same angle as the Bard logo. The keyline is taller in height than the distibutor logo, equal in distance to the width of 2 "B"s.

To understand the correct spacing of the logos, use the width of the letter "B" in Bard as a guide.
In your design, if the width of the "B" is 1" then the space between the logo and the key line is 1".
Vertical Distributor Logo Template The distributor logo should be centered horizontally with the bard logo and maintain the same graphic proportions as the horizontal template. The distributor logo should be placed below the Bard logo, equal in distance to the width of 2 "B"s. A 70% black keyline is centered between the logos and is wider in length than the larger logo, equal in distance to the width of 2 "B"s.
To understand the correct spacing of the logos, use the width of the letter "B" in Bard as a guide. In your design, if the width of the "B" is 1" then the space between the logo
and the key line is 1".

THE BARD TAGLINE.
"Breathe easy. You've Got Bard." Bard's tagline says when you're using our products, there's nothing to worry about. It says you get more than just a unit­­you get a team. It says you can count on us, and we've got the track record to prove it. Bard's tagline says it all. It differentiates Bard from competitors by elevating the brand, establishing Bard as the go-to cooling company for products and people. As such, the tagline should be used whenever possible on marketing collateral, promotional pieces, apparel and almost any material that faces potential customers. The tagline may be used in-line with copy or as artwork to add to the design of a piece. In-line with the copy, the tagline itself should be typed in standard sentence case as shown here: Breathe easy. You've got Bard. As artwork and if space allows, one of the logo and tagline lock-up orientations below may be used.

"Climate Control Solutions" is the brand descriptor for Bard Manufacturing. It must appear somewhere on all printed marketing materials, but is not mandatory on items such as products, specialty marketing materials and apparel. The preferred version of the descriptor is displayed in a red bar anchored in the lower right corner of layouts. When design or production issues make it impossible to use the red bar, the descriptor can appear, if necessary, as a tagline beneath the logo.

Dear (name), Bard Manufacturing is "Made For Modular." Our dedication, experience and knowledge of this industry is why Bard has such a strong market share. However, as you know, too many of these sales are based mainly on price. So, to help you increase sales, Bard has developed new marketing materials that stress the importance of upselling Comfort Enhancement Options for our wall-mount units. Promoting our Enhancement Options benefits everyone. As a Bard distributor, you'll add to your bottom line, while manufacturers will provide a better product to end-users who will have a greater level of satisfaction with their modular investment. We know there is a need to demonstrate the true value of Comfort Enhancement Option sales to the modular manufacturers, so we created a two-fold solution. First, let your manufacturing customers know that promoting these options will increase their profitability with a higher selling price. Next, share our modular marketing materials with them. They're designed to make it easier to sell the benefits of comfort. Together, these two simple actions give manufacturers solid reasons to recommend the options to their clients, which will help boost your sales. All of this is a fresh new way to think about HVAC for the modular market. But we believe it will enable you to increase profitability and grow your relationships with your customers by letting them know how Bard is Made For Modular. Sincerely, Paul Quigley VP Sales & Marketing

For over 50 years, Bard has been developing groundbreaking innovations in modular building comfort. Our units are specially designed for the modular market, delivering the durability, flexibility and reliability the industry demands, along with easy installation and the unmatched serviceability that comes standard with every Bard system.
