Branding

What is a brand? The descriptive verbal attributes and concrete symbols such as a name, logo, slogan, and design scheme that convey the essence of a company, product, or service.

What is brand identity? How an organization (or company) wishes their community (or customers) to perceive the brand. Identity is fundamental to community recognition and symbolizes the brand’s differentiation from other organizations. In the public sector: A strong and consistent identity helps a school district represent and communicate its vision, expectations, philosophy and practice, and beliefs to the community and world.

Responding to Needs The Winnetka Public Schools Communications Audit (2008) identified that overall, more graphics and visuals were requested from staff and community members (with and without students attending). The Communications Audit also revealed that it was not clear to all community members where publications originated (District 203 vs. District 36). The Winnetka Board of Education also requested a strengthening of the district’s identification systems.

Where will we use the identity? District (as opposed to school) communications: Internal communications from the District Office (Superintendent, Business, Pupil Services, Human Resources, Curriculum, Technology) External communications from the District Office Board of Education communications District publications (internal and external) District promotional materials (internal and external) Next major project: website

Who will have access to the identity elements? Staff of The Winnetka Public Schools who are involved in producing printed and digital communications. Via intranet: intranet.winnetka36.org Individuals outside The Winnetka Public Schools as determined by district administration.

Identity Use

Place the logo on a white or neutral background. (“Busy” backgrounds do not work well.)

Position the identity so it does not compete with the main message of the piece.
