Complete Branding Guide

© 2016 WLVT PBS39 The Complete Branding Guide and Logo Use Standards with PBS39 were developed for use by its employees, partners and partners.

Visit wlvt.org or call 610-984-8116 for more information.


Purpose of Logo Use Standards

PBS39’s logo is its most distinguishable mark. Staff and board

members put much thought and planning into a logo design. The

logo represents PBS39’s connection to the community, and its

mission to educate and inspire our community. The logo is now

one of PBS39’s most valuable assets and should be treated as such.

Consistent usage of the logo and accompanying elements, such as

typography, color, and layout, is vital to maintaining PBS39’s image

and strengthening the community’s positive identification with

PBS39.

When using the PBS39 logo in print, web, social, or on screen,

please follow the logo use standards found on the following

pages.

may arise where ample white space isn’t feasible. In those instances, position

the PBS39 logo with a minimum area of protection as depicted below, based

on the cap-width of the PBS39 number mark.

These tips were created as best social media practices for those engaging with PBS39 brand on our digital channels. PBS39 Brand Guidelines Keep It On-Brand – PBS39 digital channels may not be used to offer personal opinions or product endorsements. Additionally, PBS39 digital channels may only be used to promote outside interests if they directly pertain to PBS39, a partner organization, or a related program. What’s in a Name? – When associating with PBS39 on or offline, please refer to the station as PBS39. This will ensure brand consistency and eliminate confusion with other PBS entities. All marketing and communications materials related to PBS39 should be branded as such, not as PBS, Lehigh Valley PBS, or other variations. Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation – Please ensure that all content pertaining to the PBS39 is quality checked for proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Tag us! – Be sure to tag PBS39 social media handles in related posts so we can share them. Handles are as follows:

Facebook: @PBS39

Twitter: @PBS39Channel

Instagram: @PBS39 General Best Practices Give Us More – Posts with links and/or attached media (photo, video, etc.) are far more likely to engage viewers than a standard text “status” posting. These content options are explained in further detail below. Call To Action – Use engaging information to explain why it is important for social content consumers to take an action. Examples from our Facebook page are below:


Link Up – It is important to provide engaged viewers with the ability to take action. Make sure you link to the content you want people to see. *Note on Facebook links: Once a link preview window pops up on your Facebook post, you can delete the actual text URL to make the post appear neater. On your personal profile, Facebook will automatically do this for you. On business pages (like PBS39’s), the text link must be deleted manually. Know the Channel – Different social networks have different strengths and weaknesses. For example:

Facebook: Supports longer-form content and visuals. Video and photo direct uploads a plus. Has tricky algorithms that make it difficult for some content to be seen.

Twitter: Supports quick updates, calls to action and direct interaction. Better to post more frequently, as content has a shorter shelf life.

Pinterest: Supports the exchange of visual and creative ideas. Less supportive of direct call-to-action content.

Instagram: A very popular image and photo sharing network, especially with Millennials. Linking to content is impossible on individual posts, and uploads cannot occur from a desktop or laptop.

YouTube: Supports video content. Doesn’t always play nice with Facebook (See below). It is important to know these strengths and weaknesses, and to account for them properly. This will help you create a successful campaign with engaging content. *Video on Facebook vs. YouTube: When possible, upload videos directly to Facebook, rather than posting YouTube-hosted links to Facebook. Facebook’s algorithms make it difficult for video content from a third-party website to be seen. You are more likely to receive views and engagement if the video is directly posted to Facebook. Of course, absolutely still post videos to YouTube and build a following there, as well. Add a Local Flavor – A majority of PBS39’s supporters and partners are from the Lehigh Valley and the surrounding area. Keep this audience in mind when engaging with PBS39 on digital channels. Keep It Original – To keep viewers engaged, keep giving them something timely and new. Even for repeat events (i.e.; regular programming), dig a little deeper and give some details – without spoilers – on today’s episode.
