Standards—provides direction to program leaders on the appropriate use of the NPA logo, NPA Member logo and other visual elements. We encourage program leaders to review the guide and share it with your volunteers and contractors who provide design or web services to your program or other organizations with whom your program partners.

The new NPA logo was revealed on Oct. 22, 2018 at the NPA Annual Conference in Portland, OR. Its design reflects that the core of the PACE model is the interdisciplinary team (IDT). This is illustrated by the 11 continuous loops of the logo which correspond to the 11 members of the IDT. The intersecting loops depicts the constant movement and actions of the IDT to surround the participant with care. The loops can also loosely represent the heads of the individuals. The radiating colors represent the changing care and services PACE provides over time. The circle formed in the center represents the participant who is at the center of PACE. The roundness of a circle denotes softness and caring. The color choices for the logo are bright and hopeful. Its abstract shape will scale nicely in large and small applications, and the logo icon can stand alone as a symbol of the association. As we develop the brand recognition of this logo, the symbol will become more synonymous with PACE and NPA. The choice of a more contemporary font for “National PACE Association” offsets the new brand nicely.

Requests from third parties to use the general NPA logo should be directed here to [email protected]. Programs may not authorize external or third-party use of the NPA logo.

Introduction

mailto:mailto:communications%40npaonline.org?subject=


To provide leadership and support for the growth, innovation, quality and success of the PACE® model of care.

The PACE model of care is recognized among consumers, health care providers and government leaders as the most innovative, accessible, valuable and effective model of care promoting the highest level of independence for individuals with significant health care needs.

Mission

Vision

Support. Innovate. Lead.


The NPA logo is a circular logo with 11 loops. The formal color logo is made up of a gradient, using the three primary palette logo colors of Pantone® 425 (red), 116 (yellow), and 2597 (purple). Use the gradient logo whenever possible, particularly in high-visibility applications or when NPA is the main message of the communication.

The logo mark is paired with the name National PACE Association in both Avenir Next and Cronos Pro fonts. The text is colored using Pantone 425 (gray), or the CMYK equivalent, which you can find on page 10 of this guide. The triumvirate underneath the main logo is also Pantone 425 with Avenir Next Condensed Italic.

The logo can be printed using CMYK colors when Pantone is not available.

National PACE members are not to use the logo mark without the text “National PACE Association.”

How to Use the NPA Logo

Logo Clear Space and Minimum Size

Clear space around the logo should measure half the height of the word “PACE” in the logo. A minimum amount of clear space should surround the NPA logo, separating it from other elements such as headlines, text, imagery, or the outside edges of exterior signage. This clear space ensures legibility and visual impact. Without this, the art could become increasingly tight.Whenever possible, additional clear space is preferred.

One-half inch (3p) height is the minimum sizehorizontally.

One-half inch (3p) width is the minimum sizevertically.

• Pantone: Promotional and spot-color printing• CMYK: Digital and process printing• RGB and Hex Colors: Web, video, screen and

Typography

Primary: Cronos Pro

The NPA typography system consists of two main type families: Cronos Pro and Avenir Next.

To maintain consistency in our graphic identity, it is recommended that copy be set in typefaces from these two families.

While both the Cronos Pro and Avenir Next typefaces work well as body copy in almost all applications, the Avenir Next Condensed and Avenir Next typefaces are recommended for elements such as headings, subheads, and text and figures in charts.

Cronos Pro is a free Adobe font available with a working license of Adobe Creative Cloud. (https:// fonts.adobe.com/fonts/cronos)

Avenir Next and Avenir Next Condensed are computer fonts. In cases where they are unavailable, such as Microsoft Applications, https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/acumin may be used as a substitute.

You also may contact the NPA Communications team [email protected] to request usage of the fonts.

Photography

The power of a photograph should never be underestimated. One image often can have a greater impact than a full page of text. A photo can help the audience connect with the narrative by bringing it to life or adding information.

The best photos are simple and direct and feature real people, not models. They show interaction to reflect relationships. The people should look natural, and the photos should reflect an appropriate mix of race, age and gender so the material is relatable to all audiences.

Consent forms are necessary for all participants, family members, volunteers and staff included in photos that represent PACE. It is important to show diversity in the photo or in the series of photos being used. Be mindful that the photo may be viewed by someone who does not know PACE, so the activity depicted should be one that would occur in a PACE program.

Showing participants engaged with one another or with caregivers makes for a good photo. When selecting a photo, consider the area behind the subjects as well. Objects in the background can detract from the subjects if they draw too much attention, don’t provide enough contrast, or change in contrast or color.
