HOW DO WE SOUND?

HOW DO WE SOUND?

Whether you are writing an email or a letter from Longleat or creating an exciting advertisement to promote a new event or attraction – just remember that every communication is a chance to build our brand.

Using a combination of these words you can dial each one up or down depending on the context and audience that you are communicating with.

We should use language that is:

ENGAGING AND INSPIRING Exciting and compelling. Thrilling and enthusiastic.

CONFIDENT AND BOLD

Express how we are truly unique and the first to do anything.

We should be ‘bigger’ and ‘better’ than any of our competitors.

GENUINE AND HONEST

Use straight talking language. Use factual information delivered in a friendly but informative way.

CAPTIVATING AND INTRIGUING

Take our guests on an adventure and broaden their imaginations.

PROFESSIONAL, TRANSPARENT AND HONEST

Be conscientious and caring. We should sound proud of where we have come from.

Using language

to help build our brand

We should be proud and bold when display-ing our master logo and this should always be positioned in the most prominent position within the design. Our logo should always sit on a clean background with solid colour for clear visibility.

All external and internal Guest Communications such as information leaflets and park map guides should have a consistent look and feel. This is designed in a way so that the customer journey is considered.

Top tip: Keep it together. Lion head and Longleat lettering should always stay together

13

LONGLEAT MASTER LOGOTAKES CENTRE STAGE IN OUR MARKETING

LONGLEAT MASTER LOGO

Our logo is the most recognisable part of the Longleat brand, so please handle with care. We love to be flexible and helpful with our visitors but our logo is non-negotiable! Some rules are made to be broken but these aren’t. If you have good reason to break the rules please drop marketing a note to check first.

Logo fun factOur logo combines two key elements:‘The Lion’ which is where is all started with Longleat and ‘The House’ which forms the Lion’s crown and acts as a reminder as to why we are here today!

Because we like to make lives easier, the landscape version can be used in situations where there is a design requirement for this.

Mono Version Grey Scale Version

Landscape Version

minimum 25mm wide

X is measured by the height of ‘Longleat’

Give it some space Logo Exclusion Zone

Keep it together The logo should always appear as a complete ‘lock-up’ with the Lion above the name Longleat. The proportions of the elements are fixed. The logo where possible should always be used in full colour

Make it legible The logo should always be large enough to be clearly visible and a minimum of 25mm wide.
