Operation Kindness Brand Guidelines (Ver. 6)
OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Operation Kindness Brand Guidelines is to document and set
guardrails for the brand. The guidelines are meant to channel focus to ensure the
Operation Kindness brand is consistently and appropriately represented in
marketing and advertising communications. Just like with some pets, think of these
guidelines as a comforting “thunder jacket” for the brand during rainy days or
nights. To get there we need your help and thank you reading this brief guide!

A . OUR PROCESS AND CONTACT INFORMATION
Process:
Whenever possible, Operation Kindness would like to be aware when our partners
and affiliates are producing content about the shelter. We really like it when we can
review items before they are sent out in mass channels. We do this to:
1. Ensure that our brand is properly referenced.
2. Offer suggestions to maximize messaging and programs where ever
possible.
3. Verify that call-to-actions (CTAs) and tracking mechanisms are in place so we
can report out on shared success.
We don’t want to delay your publishing process! If you could kindly submit a sample
prior to release, that would be ideal. Submit samples and your approval timeframe
to:

B. OUR BRAND COLOR PALETTE
1. Color And The Operation Kindness Logo:
a. Standard Color Treatment: The standard and preferred color
treatment for the “OK” logo is a two-color application with the
graphic mark in 100% “Operation Kindness Red” (which is PMS 187C)
and the type set underneath the mark in all black as follows:
This treatment is ideal for online usage or situations already using
higher-end printing processes where is doesn’t cost more to present
the Operation Kindness brand in the two-color treatment.
b. Single Color Logo: In situations where cost or the number of colors is
limited, the “OK” logo may be printed in all black.
c. Special Finishes: Special finishes like metallic inks or a gloss overlay
are allowed, but should be used sparingly.

2. Color Palette Spectrum:
In addition to 100% black, a core set of 6 colors has been identified for the
brand palette. The colors leverage the core colors of the Operation Kindness
website (OperationKindness.org). You can complement our logo using these
colors in headlines or other graphical accents.
Noted below are approximate Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors and
web/hex code equivalents of the core palette.

C. TIPS FOR USING OUR LOGO:
Minimum Logo Size and “Breathable” Space:
From time-to-time we all need a little breathing room, right?! Well, the same applies
to the Operation Kindness logo. No other design element (e.g. other logos, type,
or photo) should come within 50% of the total height of the Operation Kindness
logo. For example, if the Operation Kindness logo is 80 pixels in height, please
allow a 40 pixel area for white or “breathable” space around all sides of the logo as
shown below.
What’s a “pixel,” you ask? It’s a unit of measurement often used in online
communications. There are about 72 pixels in a inch. You can learn more about
pixels on page 11.

Maximum Logo Size:
Just like with the number of kitten or puppy kisses, the more the better! So there is
no limit on how large the Operation Kindness logo can be used. If you need a high
resolution logo for situations like this please contact us (refer to page 3).
