THE LMP LOGO COMPONENTS The Labor Management Partnership logo is the primary graphic element of the LMP identity. It has been designed for application to all forms of media. There are two primary graphic elements that compose the official identity of the Labor Management Partnership: (�) The (L+M)P mark and (2) The tagline “The Power of Partnership.”Our logo has been constructed so that the elements are always in a fixed size and alignment relationship, which should not be altered, modified, or repo-sitioned in any way. To ensure accuracy and consistency, it is recommended that only the artwork supplied on the CD included with this guide be used to reproduce the logotype and logo.

PURPOSE OF THE STYLE GUIDE
The LMP Design Style Guide has been developed to provide guidance on
usage of the LMP logo and accompanying visual elements such as typography,
layout, and color. The LMP Design Style Guide covers basic elements and can be
used by anyone working on printed or Web materials for the LMP, including
those just beginning to appreciate the technical development of design.
We intentionally have developed an LMP style that relies upon bold type,
distinct color, staff and physician portraits, and other wide-ranging work-
place images to distinguish our LMP as a rich experience rooted in our work
and in each other. Our style, rather than lulling or detracting from who we
are, is intended to intrigue with surprising images and to communicate the
dignity and respect Partnership promises us in our workplaces.
Please note that the LMP Design Style Guide is a living, evolving document, and
constructive suggestions are welcome.
Please send your suggestions to [email protected].

The whole visible universe is but a storehouse of images
and signs to which the imagination will give a relative
place and value; it is a sort of pasture which the imagi-
nation must digest and transform. Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867) French poet

THE LMP LOGO
Our Labor Management Partnership (LMP) represents a new vision
and a new way of doing business. In Partnership, union members,
physicians, dentists, and managers are working together to solve
problems–sharing information, responsibility, and decision making.
This formula creates the power to transform Kaiser Permanente and
transform health care in our country.
The design of our Partnership identity, our logo, distinguishes us in a
very memorable way. Figuratively, it demonstrates how separate interests
can be unified into a greater whole. It also suggests our purpose,
achieving more together than we can separately.
This award-winning Labor Management Partnership logo is the quint-
essential representation of a true Partnership–a literal depiction of the
abstract. Working equally in Partnership, labor and management are not
just the sum of our parts, but are exponentially raised to. . .the Power
of Partnership.

THE LMP LOGO COMPONENTS The Labor Management Partnership logo is the primary graphic element of the LMP identity. It has been designed for application to all media. There are two primary graphic elements that compose the official identity of the Labor Management Partnership: (�) the (L+M)P mark, and (2) the tagline “The Power of Partnership.”
Our logo has been constructed so the elements are in a fixed size and alignment relationship, which should not be altered, modified, or repositioned in any way. To ensure accuracy and consistency, it is rec-ommended that only the artwork supplied on the CD included with this guide be used to reproduce the logotype and logo.
This logo alone represents the Labor Management Partnership, and as such should not be accompanied by either the Kaiser Permanente logo or the AFL-CIO logo.

The dotted line indicates the bound-ary of recommended clear space that should surround the logo.
THE LMP LOGO CLEAR SPACE REQUIREMENTS Clear space is the area around the logo that must be free of other type or graphics, so they do not interfere with the legibility or integrity of the identity. Clear space measurements are relative and are based on the height of the parentheses in the logo.

THE LMP LOGO IN TwO- OR FOUR-COLOR APPLICATIONS The official colors of the LMP identity are black + PMS �795, as indicated above. The logo may be used against a black background when neces-sary. In these cases the black portions of the logo become white. The red “P”remains unchanged, or is 40 percent black in a one-color application.
This configuration is unsuitable for photocopying or faxing. When using reversed-out artwork for materials that will be faxed, use the black and white version shown on the following page.
The primary font for the LMP logo is Mrs. Eaves.

THE LMP LOGO IN ONE-COLOR APPLICATIONS In one-color applica-tions, the LMP logo is �00 percent black; the “P” is 60 percent black. If the logo is reversing out of a dark background, it is all white except for the “P”, which is 40 percent black.
THE LMP LOGO MISUSE The logo should not be placed over dark, patterned, or photographic backgrounds, because the background will interfere with the legibility of the mark. Please note additional requirements below:
do not• change the size of the tagline relative to the logo;• change the typeface or colors used in the logo;• change the layout of the logo;• place the logo in a box or other shape;• add dimensional or outline effects to the logo;• stretch or distort the logo;• use a background color other than those specified in this guide; or• use the logo against a complicated pattern or photo unless it is significantly screened back.
Any other variation of the LMP logo other than shown above is not to be used.

If you remember the shape of your spoon at lunch, it
has to be the wrong shape. The spoon and the letter
are tools; one to take food from the bowl, the other
to take information off the page….When it is a good
design, the reader has to feel comfortable because the
letter is both banal and beautiful. Adrian Frutiger(1928– ) designer and typographer
��
GRAPHIC DESIGN ELEMENTS
The LMP graphic design system is designed to be flexible and nonre-
strictive. This affords the skilled designer many options, with the goal
that the materials, while having unity with each other, also will be able
to stand alone as unique.
This section provides specifications for typography, available color
palette, LMP label, and imagery. These guidelines ensure each graphic
element reinforces LMP’s identity in a clear and consistent way.

MRS. EAVES Typography plays an essential role in LMP’s identity program. Using the suggested typefaces for every communication establishes a distinctive, cohesive, and memorable style.
There are two suggested typefaces for the identity—one serif and one sans serif typeface–both are available for PC and Macintosh platforms. The selected typefaces reflect the established identity of the LMP.
Mrs. Eaves is the serif font in the system. Serif means “feet.” This kind of typeface has accented “feet” and noticeably thin-ner and thicker lines.

AVENIR This font is to be used in conjunction with Mrs. eaves. We recommend Avenir as a headline font and Mrs. eaves for text.
Avenir is the sans serif font in the system. Sans serif means “without feet.” This kind of typeface has no accented “feet” and no noticeable varia-tion in line weight.

THROUGH THE LMP we have made a difference for ourselves
and our communities. Just look at how we won safe and effective
nurse-to-patient staffing ratios in California, and then bested the
state-mandated ratios in some places. Or the effective needlestick
legislation that was adopted as a national standard. How about the
fact that Kaiser Permanente has extended health care coverage
to striking workers in the grocery and hospitality industries? Or that
we work together to expand health care quality and access to the
millions without it?

One image or a combination of many images can be used on the cover.
IMAGERY To achieve a diverse look to LMP materials while still retaining an overall visual continuity, we encourage a creative approach to choosing and implementing imagery.
PHOTOGRAPHY We have a large photo library of both historic and con-temporary images. It is important to use worksite photos that show people engaged in their work in a real sense, not with a canned, stock image look. Use of color and black-and-white photography together or separately is encouraged.
ILLUSTRATIOn Use illustration when the subject calls for it: to express humor or a different perspective.
GRAPHIC ELEMEnTS Patterns, color backgrounds, and graphic icons can be used on their own or to support a graphic layout.

STANDARD BROCHURE COVERS The above example is based on 8.5”x��” proportions. The vertical space is divided into eight hori-zontal slices, each �.375” high. A horizontal band housing both the title of the brochure and the LMP logo resides within any one of those slices. The band ends �.375” from the right edge of the page.
The band can extend across the back cover and house the LMP address. On standard 8.5”x��” cover applications, the height of the band should not exceed �.375”. The placement of the band will vary depending on the aesthetic judgment of the designer.
Standard brochure cover consists of photo(s) and a horizontal band that houses both the title of the brochure and the LMP logo. On the standard brochure back cover the band extends directly from the front of the brochure.

2005 national agreementFIVE MINUTES ABOUT UNIT-BASED TEAMS
• UBTs will enhance quality of careand service to our members and
patients and are the key toreaching our shared goal of “best
care, best price, and best placeto work.”
uBts will Rolloutunit BY unit• UBTs will be introduced unit byunit, and every work unit will have
a UBT. UBTs will be composed ofunion, physician, and management
representatives. People will betrained to serve on UBTs while
maintaining service levels.• Many units already have someform of teams, called by different
names—LMP team, Council, orspecial project team. The impor-
tant work of these structures willcontinue until UBTs roll out and
may be incorporated into the unit’sUBT structure.
uBts ARE PARtnERSHiPin ACtion• By forming UBTs, Coalitionworkers, management, and
physicians will partner to solveproblems and make decisions
that directly affect the work unit.• This active partnership at the frontline will help us create better,
more dynamic workplaces whereemployees are valued for what
they know and have a say in howthings are done. UBTs will help
us leverage the knowledge,experience, and skills of our
employees to have the greatestimpact on service delivery.
we all want to do the best job we can and deliver the best service we
can. This is more important today than ever before because we are
defending our model of health care against aggressive, non-union,
for-profit competitors. Small changes are no longer enough; we must
transform the organization to show the world that our model of health
care works best.High performance runs throughout the National Agreement, and
unit-based teams (UBTs) are the engine for success. UBTs make each one
of us accountable for improving performance at the front line. They give
each of us the opportunity, the power, and the responsibility to transform
the company and health care delivery.

together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions;
there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design
can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is
so complicated. Paul Rand(1914–1996) designer

SPECIAL DESIGN APPLICATIONS
The LMP graphic design system sometimes has to stretch to afford
maximum creativity.
In some instances, the piece you are asked to do will need to stand
totally on its own. In these cases, the basic grid will not need to be
incorporated into your design.
you still are encouraged to incorporate the color palette and the type
choices into your design. Additionally, the specs for the LMP logo
(beginning on page 6) must be adhered to.
The following pages show examples of special LMP pieces.

Special publications and ads have a unique look, and are tied to LMP by the logo only.
In special publications that have their own identity, the LMP logo must be included but not necessarily on the cover.

DESIGN TIPS AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Overall
• Layouts should have a clear hierarchy between elements and be
easy to read.
• your type layout and design should be consistent throughout the piece.
• Keep it clean and simple; cluttered layouts are difficult to decipher.
Color
• When using solid blocks of color as a design element, limit your use
to two spot colors per page when using photos. In documents with
multiple pages, retain consistency with the colors from page to page.
• When putting text on top of a block of color, make sure there is
enough contrast to make the type readable.
Photos
• Use photos that specifically represent the subject of your piece.
• Do not use type directly on top of photos unless it is easily readable.

DESIGN TIPS AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION, continued
Typography
• Avoid hyphenating more than one word in a vertical row.
• Do not hyphenate words with fewer than five characters, and hyphen-
ate only after three characters or more.
• highlight UrLs in a different color from the rest of the text so they are
easy to pick out; the “LMP” in LMPartnership.org should be all caps.
• All caps may be used for a headline, but avoid using all caps in text, as
it is difficult to read.
• Use italics sparingly, as text in italic can be difficult to read.
• Always consider readability of text first.
• Keep a distinct separation between headlines and text.
• All body copy in Mrs. eaves should be at least �� pt.
• All body copy in Avenir should be at least �0 pt.
• Keep all type �/2” inside the outer margins of the page.
• Use serial commas.
• Use “em” dashes to separate ideas in a sentence, but without spaces
before and after the dash.

FILE FORMATS
The LMP logo is available for PC and Mac platforms in the
following file formats. These files are available in color and
in black and white.
TIF: Widely used image format for printed material; does not use
compression, therefore does not lose image information; typically
preferred for print projects.
EPS: ensures highest possible output quality, as it is in the original file
format (Illustrator CS2).
JPG: Uses a compression mechanism to use less memory; used for
Web, e-mail and multimedia such as PowerPoint presentations; better
color accuracy than GIFs.
GIF: Smallest file format; uses minimum information needed to
render a graphic; used for Web and multimedia such as PowerPoint
presentations; has option of saving with transparent background; can
be used for simple animations on the Web.

USE OF THE UNION BUG IN OFFSET PRINTING
For professionally printed materials, it is required that you select a
union printer. Please communicate with the printer and make sure
the bug is positioned prominently on the back cover or bottom front
of the piece. It is essential that the union bug is visible on any printed
piece for the LMP.
GLOSSARY
PANTONE colors, specially blended solid inks used in such printing as
offset, silkscreen, and engraving.
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, yellow, and Black) values are used in
professional printing when color art must be reproduced.
GRAYSCALE is a color mode that only utilizes black, white, and a
range of gray pixels to render an image.
RGB mode utilizes values of red, Green, and Blue light to create a
projected color. This mode is used for graphics that are viewed on
computer displays such as screen-based electronic presentations
and the Web.
HEX colors, or “websafe” color codes define what are considered safe,
non-dithering colors for monitors that can only display up to 256
colors; these should be used for Web only.
