    21 August 2013 4INTRODUCTIONBackground

    Why werestrengthening our image

    For more than 100 years, Rotary has unitedleaders committed to applying their expertise tobetter their communities. Despite over a century ofimpact in communities around the world, Rotarydoes not get the recognition it deserves. Weneed to rethink how we tell our story so peopleeverywhere understand what Rotary stands for,

    how were different, and why it matters.In 2011, Rotary embarked on a multiyear initiativeof unprecedented scale to strengthen our image.In addition to expanding public understanding ofwhat Rotary does, we want to motivate, engage,and inspire current and prospective members,donors, partners, and staff.

    What weve done

    To tell our story better, we first need to define it.Based on extensive global research, we:

    Defined our essenceto identify how Rotary is differentfrom other organizations

    Brought our values to lifeto ensure our actions supportour words

    Established our voiceto reflect our distinct character

    Clarified how we presentour offerings so peopleunderstand what we do and

    how they can engage

    Refreshed our visual identityto energize our look and feelwhile celebrating our heritage

    What we need to do

    Bringing our story to life is our next charge and one that requires champions across levels,groups, and functions.

    We are Rotary, and we have a great story to tell.

    Its up to all of us to protect,promote, and deliver on that storyin all our interactions.

    This guide will help you apply our new look andvoice. More resources will be available onlinein the coming months. Look for new tools andtemplates that will help you apply our new look toyour brochures, PowerPoints, and other print anddigital communications.

    Through a unified Rotary image and message,were not just enhancing our reputation, were

    elevating the entire Rotary experience.

    21 August 2013 5WHO WE AREHow WeGot Here

    AN UNPRECEDENTED EVALUATION OF OUR IMAGE FRAMING OUR STRENGTHS FOR CLARITY AND IMPACT

    Our global research revealed three insights. Our research insights define who we are (responsible leaders),what we do (connect), and why it matters (community impact).Validation research revealed how to articulate these strengths ina compelling way.

    Rotarians are responsible

    leaders both sociallyand ethically

    Define leadership by

    mindset and approach,not labels or titles

    Connecting has andalways will be the drivingforce behind Rotary

    Highlight connectionsand communities,not the individual

    Its not just aboutglobal impact we impact communitieson a global scale

    Clarify the type of impactRotary makes (i.e., communityimpact scaled globally;lasting change)

    What is our voice?

    Our voice is the unique tone andstyle in which we communicate.

    Why is a distinctive voiceimportant for Rotary?

    There is no organization quitelike Rotary. To ensure ourcommunications capture ourdistinct character and howpeople experience Rotary we need to use a unified voicein all of our interactions. Byspeaking, writing, and designingin one voice, our communicationswill look, feel, and soundunmistakably like Rotary.

    How should we useour voice?

    Our voice attributes serve as a

    guide for how we speak, write,and design. Use them as criteriato evaluate your communications.A variety of visual and verbaltools (e.g., copy, imagery,information graphics, etc.) canhelp us infuse our voice into all ofour communications.

    Use colors in our palette. Use colors that offer sufficient contrast forreadability.

    Use colors that complement one another;use leadership colors for large areas.

    Keep the background the same color ratherthan creating gradients.

    Use fully saturated rather than tints orscreened colors in our palette.

    Highlight headings, subheads, icons, andbuttons with colors from our palette.

    Reserve Rotary Gold for pops of color. Use the blues in our leadership colors as thepredominant palette.

    Use the secondary colors to highlightelements, but never as a dominant color.

    Use neutrals and white space to achievebalance and clarity.

    ImageryStyle Overview andSubject Matter

    Our photography focuses on connectionsand community.

    Whenever possible, try to use shotsdepicting multiple Rotarians of diverseethnicities and age ranges. Refrain fromfocusing on an individual, unless he orshe is profiled or featured in a story.

    If shot indoors, keep backgrounds blurryor nondescript so unattractive objectslike drop-ceilings, dated chandeliers, exitsigns, etc., are rendered less visible.

    When beneficiaries are depicted, theyshould appear actively engaged withRotarians or like active participants ina scene, not incidental observers in thebackground.

    When choosing or shooting newphotography, aim for the following:

    - editorial or reportage style(fly-on-the-wall)

    - candid poses or natural portraits- real, natural, sincere, endearing

    expressions

    - demonstrations of active leadershipand impact

    - special moments of camaraderie,friendship, warmth, and celebration

    - movement and momentum- rich full color, or black and white- short depth of field with

    selective focus (people shotthrough crowds)

    - wide angles- natural backgrounds and real context

    (not solid portraiture backdrops orstudio photography)

    Icons andInformationGraphicsAreas ofFocus Icons

    Rotary has identified six areas of focusthat reflect critical humanitarian issuesand needs that Rotarians are addressingworldwide. Each icon to the rightrepresents one facet of Rotaryssix areas of focus:

    1 Peace and conflictprevention/resolution

    2 Disease prevention and treatment3 Water and sanitation4 Maternal and child health5 Basic education and literacy6 Economic and community

    development

    Always show all six icons togetheruniformly in one Rotary neutral color.

    When discussing one specific area offocus, highlight that icon using anyRotary leadership or secondary color.All other icons should remain neutral.

    When all areas are being discussed

    simultaneously, highlight all six iconsusing a single Rotary leadership orsecondary color.

    Always use the same color to highlightthe icons within a single document orcommunication.

    Do not color code the six areas of focus,and do not alter proportions or theshape of the circle housing the symbols.
