Brand Standards

    Brand standards, also known as brand guidelines or brand manuals, are a set of rules and guidelines that dictate how a brand should be represented and communicated across various channels and touchpoints. These standards are essential for a variety of reasons:

    Consistency: They ensure a uniform look and message across all brand touchpoints.
    Professionalism: They project a polished and trustworthy image.
    Identity: They define and reinforce the brand's unique personality and values.
    Recognition: Consistency leads to easy brand recognition.
    Efficiency: They streamline marketing and design efforts.
    Adaptability: Standards can be tailored to various media.
    Legal Protection: They safeguard intellectual property.
    Consumer Trust: Consistency fosters trust.
    Employee Guidance: They provide clear guidelines for employees.
    Competitive Advantage: Brands with strong standards stand out in the market, gaining an edge.

    Brand standards are crucial for maintaining a consistent and effective brand presence. They help shape the brand's identity, increase recognition, and build consumer trust, which can ultimately lead to business success. The following assets are here to help you adhere to the Harbor brand, and to ensure you have a better grasp of how we appear in the marketplace.

    Photography

    The goal when using photography to represent Harbor and its values, is realism and diversity. We try and keep chef images vague with close ups of hands and products. It is very common these days for chef's to have tattoo's on their arms. We also strive to include various races. We don't use overly staged images or obvious models when representing Harbor. See below for examples.

    DO NOT USE

    Please do not use staged images or obvious models when representing the Harbor brand. If you have a need for images, you can choose them from our Adobe stock account and then request a high res version using the marketingrequests@harborfoods.com email. Please include the photo ID located in the bottom left corner after you have clicked on the image thumbnail.
