3 The Story of Our Brand Our organization s brand draws attention to Children s as a warm and welcoming place, while also capturing the energetic spirit of a child. Five vibrant and colorful rays spring from the coil of the Latin spira mirabilis, better known as the marvelous spiral. This represents the joy of a child s imagination, as well as the infinite possibilities offered by modern medicine and the discoveries yet to come. It inspires emotions and interpretations as diverse as the children we serve. It is a symbol of a new era in pediatric health care for our community, our state and our region. This contemporary brand captures a look and feel of Children s today and will serve us into the future. The name, Children s Hospital & Medical Center, more accurately represents the healing, education and research taking place here. It demonstrates that we are more than a hospital. We are the premier pediatric health care center in the state on Nebraska, and we are a significant resource to medical professionals and families from across the region. The new brand also applies to Children s Hospital & Medical Center Foundation and Children s Physicians. It is built from consistent and creative elements, including a corporate logo, corporate colors, corporate fonts, themeline, imagery and visual elements. The brand will appear on printed pieces (forms, stationary, envelopes, etc.) as new materials are reprinted. Signage carrying the new name will be installed throughout our organization. All material contained within these pages are the property of Children s Hospital & Medical Center and require express permission from the Marketing Department for use.

4 Brand Elements: Spira Mirabilis Beaming from a spira mirabilis, Latin for the marvelous spiral that occurs in many natural forms, are five rays symbolic of a child s boundless energy and imagination. From the five-pointed star to the five horizontal lines on a musical staff, the number five is significant in many areas of science and astronomy, religion, technology and sports in cultures throughout the world. The vibrant rays, in the earthy colors Coral, Lagoon, Saffron, Cerulean and Periodot, reach outward from the Azure spiral illustrating how Children s Hospital & Medical Center extends care and hope to the most vulnerable and valuable assets we have our children. Rising over our name, it signifies the dawn of a new day in pediatric health care for the region, and the rays of hope Children s Hospital & Medical Center brings every day to the children and families we serve.

5 Brand Elements: Themeline The We know children. themeline is an expression of the Children s Hospital & Medical Center brand. It is vitally important to use it correctly and consistently. The themeline is a piece of custom-designed artwork and should never be set in type. In order to keep consistency and the proper hierarchy of the elements, the themeline should always be used in the established proportions. For instance, the themeline should never be produced at a size larger than the logo itself when placed together in close proximity. It is not appropriate to say We know kids. No modifications are to be made to the themeline in printing or computer graphics. 1 color PMS 7417 Grayscale Black Reverse Spatial Relationships 2 2 Text Height = 2 2 A minimum clear space should be maintained around the themeline when used apart from the logo to ensure its visibility and protect its integrity.
