Transcript of Flamingo Gardens Rebranding Project
Flamingo Gardens is an established company, but
every company should look for ways it can improve and connect with their
audience. To make sure that the new rebranding efforts are carried into the future, a brand strategy
has been created to define the new brand.
To ensure that the rebranding project will meet the clients’ needs and attract its target audience, specific design decisions have been determined.
This document will examine those decisions in detail and explain why those choices were made. This lessens the chance of the designer’s personal design
aesthetic taking over, and ensures that the clients’ needs are met and the client-designer relationship is established firmly.

Company NeedsA unified branding strategy will catapult Flamingo Gardens into a top contending family activity.
OverviewFlamingo Gardens is a place to appreciate, enjoy and preserve the natural habitat of the everglades. It has grown and reinvented itself over the years, first being a commercial orange grove turned botanical garden, and currently a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating the native animals and flora of South Florida.
To take this historical company to another level while continuing the course, a rebranding of its public face will help to solidify their efforts to break into new and emerging markets, while letting their guests and competition know that Flamingo Gardens is always striving for the highest level of excellence.
Funding OpportunitiesCreating a new strategy for current programs takes advantage of niches in the marketplace.

RESEARCH PAPER
Revitalizing the brandExtensive research has been done to explore, define, and explain the process that should be taken to revitalize the brand of Flamingo Gardens and focus its attention towards a new target audience. Its current brand is dated, has no specific target audience, and does not fully take advantage of marketing opportunities such as the Web, on-site signage, and advertising. Flamingo Gardens is a non-profit organization, and relies on government and donor funds. A brand redesign will help to re-establish its mission and services in the community, increase brand perception in its market, and make a stronger case to attract funds that help to do more for their mission and cause. The redesign will entail updating the logo, website, signage, advertisements and other printed materials. A new branding strategy will keep these elements unified and consistent. Each
of these elements has been thoroughly researched to explain why each choice was made.
Flamingo Gardens exists to remind, educate, and celebrate the beauty of the Florida Everglades by providing a one-of-a-kind eco experience and provide a permanent and safe home for its native flora and wildlife. In order to ensure that this unique establishment survives over the years and maintains the name that it built for itself and its importance in South Florida, a redesign of its brand is imperative.
The new rebranding projectIn order to attract new customers and raise ecological awareness of the Florida Everglades at Flamingo Gardens, a campaign needs to be developed to bring in those new customers and keep them coming, while enticing existing customers to visit again. The company must
also boost consumer perception, which is currently not as strong as it could be. Flamingo Gardens currently has a poor brand identity and is not as widely known as its competitors, even though it has the unique selling point of being the only botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary in south Florida. They currently target everyone as their audience, and in doing so their lack of direction towards a specific demographic results in a slower stream of customers. A new target audience will be the focus of the campaign, which will be launched along with a company rebranding effort that will allow Flamingo Gardens to reposition itself in its competitive market. This book describes a new rebranding strategy and campaign with supportive research to show how those decisions were made. In following these guidelines, Flamingo Gardens will bring in more customers and funds to support their historic mission and goals

Studying visitors as an individual Photo ethnography is a field exercise in which subjects record their daily experiences with still or video cameras over an extended period of time. This practice is similar to visual anthropology because both use visual media for interpreting cultural human behavior. Flamingo gardens has been around since the 1960s, so as long as the internet has been around, and internet users have learned how to post images themselves, and with the popularity of Web 2.0 and the steady rise of social media, Flamingo Gardens has a wealth of imagery posted by others who have visited the location. This method of research gave a clear picture of the target audience and how to take advantage of marketing to them.

Analysis of images can provide insight into the lives and needs of the audience, and help identify ways to communicate with them.

Hidden verbal meaningA combination of research and creative
exploration was used to redesign the Flamingo Gardens logo. The word cloud
at left was created to make sure that the logo represented what Flamingo
Gardens stands for. Each word was carefully chosen and the logo had
to be able to stand beside each one and represent it.

Snowy the owl is a rescue whose ear was injured from a bb gun accident. She now assists during live animal presentations.
II CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT
Need to change this copyBased on the headline, “When was the last time YOU took a field trip?”, the voice should be slightly humorous and thoughtful, intuitive and playful. Since the target audience is children and families, the copy
should appeal to kids and the ‘kid at heart’ in adults. The voice should also sound like a friend is talking to them, someone familiar showing them around Flamingo Gardens. Almost a hand-holding type of voice should be heard when reading the type.
LOGO DEVELOPMENTLOGO CREATION
This photo was the inspiration for the shape of the head in the logo.
Creating the BrandmarkOnce initial research proved that the logo was to be abstract, the creative process moved to redesigning the Flamingo Gardens logo. Careful consideration of the company’s history was made to ensure that the redesign did not completely stray from its original version. This was done to make sure that people already familiar with Flamingo Gardens could relate to the new logo.
The creative process - from sketch to completion:
This logo will lead the new design for the rebranding project for Flamingo Gardens. The abstract style will give a clean, updated look and feel for the company, and its simple design will appeal to the target audience of children and families. The logo combines both a
flamingo and a leaf in their simplest forms to represent “Flamingo Gardens”. This way, the brandmark can stand with or without the logotype. Part of the strategy is to use the brandmark without the logotype for future branding uses such as new products and signage.
LOGO DEVELOPMENTTHE NEW LOGO
A logo must stand on its own in black
and white first before color is added.

About Flamingo GardensFlamingo Gardens is a 60 acre wildlife sanctuary and botanical reserve in Davie, Florida. It began as a home that was built in the 1930’s by the Wrays, a business couple who used the property for entertaining and relaxation. They were an influential couple in the area who had ties to President Eisenhower and other local business individuals and civic groups. The home was later turned into an Everglades museum.
Rescue and preservationFlamingo Gardens rescues injured animals who can no longer survive on their own in the wild. When the animals breed, their offspring is released back into the wild. They are given a permenant home in the gardens and receive food and care by staff and volunteers. Wildlife adoption is available to customers to help the company pay for animal care costs.

VOICE & TONE
VoiceBased on the headline, “When was the last time YOU took a field trip?”, the voice should be slightly humorous and thoughtful, intuitive and playful. Since the target audience is children and families, the copy should appeal to kids and the ‘kid at heart’ in adults. The voice should also sound like a friend is talking to them, someone familiar showing them around Flamingo Gardens. Almost a hand-holding type of voice should be heard when reading the type.
Copy & MusicThe body copy and music alike should make the audience go to an unlimited and magical place of wonder. When you visit Flamingo Gardens, you get a sensory overload of beautiful tropical scenery and animals. The copy and music should only enhance the
emotion of the target audience, helping them to get the sense of “being in another world.”
ToneThe tone should be childlike, talking to the child at heart in the audience, whether young or old. “Wanna see how otters play tag?” “Look at the huge crocodile!” “Follow me to see the bird show!” are just a few examples of the tone that should be used for advertisements and signage around the park itself. Using a consistent tone like this will help shape the brand of Flamingo Gardens and tap into the emotions of the audience.
FONTS
Flamingo Gardens fonts were chosen to establish the rebranding campaign by providing stability, playfulness, and durability to last well into the future.
Visual Voices
Ad HeadlineFilmotype LaSalle
Sub headersGill Sans Bold Italic
Body copyGill Sans Regular
Headers / NavigationGill Sans Light
This font was chosen for its playfulness and attention-grabbing design. The tone of this font is “Hey, look over here!”, like a friend waving for you to hurry over and take a look.
Gill Sans is a versatile font and ‘Bold Italic’ brings attention to the paragraph heading without distracting the reader from scanning the body copy.
The logotype uses this classic font, which was chosen to give a strong and lasting impression for this historical company. The font is used throughout the campaign for brand unity.
The curve and weight of this font resembles a flamingo, and also has an air of curious sophistication. It also does not compete with imagery or other fonts used in the campaign.

III STYLE GUIDE
APPROVED IMAGERY
WildlifeImages of wildlife should be close enough to distinguish what type of animal it is, and most of its body should be shown. Colors of the animal and its background should clearly contrast, not blending together.
TexturesFor advertisements and other print collateral, textured backgrounds are another option besides a more busy photograph. The photo of dirt to the left leaves ample space to the left of the leaves for copy placment. The vector sample has a light colored background of tiled leaves which is also acceptable.
Human ElementWhen images of people are used, opt for waist-up shots where they are smiling in front of a natural outdoor setting with foilage similar to what a visitor
could see at Flamingo Gardens. Use single-person shots moderately and more of groups of friends and/or groups of families having fun together outdoors.
NatureUse shots close enough for the viewer to see the intricacies and details of the beauty of the plants shown. There should also be space for copy in the top third of the photo. In this image of palm leaves, a large heading can be placed in the sky area on the top left corner of the page.

Strategy in actionNow that guidelines have been established for writing ad and web copy, lets take a look at how to sell those features and benefits to the audience. Remember that the tagline speaks to the emotions of the audience and gives them a reason to visit. Taglines used here are: "Break the routine, get some air." (which targets mothers) and "Better than watching Animal Planet." (which targets parents to get their kids outside and be active.) To refer back to copy guidelines, see page 10.
Finding the right imageUsing a set of approved taglines, choose an image that supports the copy and intrigues the audience. Place the logo in an area that clearly contrasts and doesn't clash with the colors used. Don't forget to use and crop images to include the crucial whitespace area for copy that is part of the new rebranding design guidelines. To refer back to whitespace in images, see page 41.

OPPOSITE: Flamingo Gardens is located in front of a street named Flamingo Road. The current signage is hardly noticeable when driving past in a car. The updated signage below uses bright colors to attract the eye of a driver or passenger in a car.
THIS PAGE: All signage should follow a similar style to the mounted entrance sign for consistency. The same font and design elements should be used such as the flower. There is flexibility with additional designs, such as the water which represents the “pond”. Related animals may also be added.

Brochure basicsContinue to use the full bleed image approach for brochure design. Remember its all about making every media component complement each other, which in turn will strengthen the Flamingo Gardens brand and build more trust in the audience.Choose images that show target audience interacting with animals and each other at Flamingo Gardens. Basic contact, features, and direction information should be included, but the copy should be memorable.
Color blocksPut type on top of color blocks that are part of the approved color pallete. Tints and opacity changes should only be applied to text and design elements. To refer back to the color palette, see page 38.
Speak to emotional needsInstead of only listing features that Flamingo Gardens offers, use brochures and flyers to tell the target audience what benefits they can receive by visiting. They need a reason why they should come to Flamingo Gardens and not the jungle gym down the street. Use the strongest statements on the front cover.For more examples, refer back to the rebranding strategy on page 19.
ImagesClose up shots are more personal and give the target audience an idea of what to expect when they visit. Brighten the colors if necessary and make sure they are vibrant and inviting.
