Introduction

OSRI uses a consistent set of visual markers to tie together its many printed and electronic communications pieces. These practices help OSRI’s audiences remember the organization’s role in Alaska oil spill response and how its programs help project Alaska’s wild habitat and communities.

Type

GILL SANS

Only to be used for recreating the logo and wordmark. As this font is only used in images, it’s only necessary for the logo designer to have this font installed.

SOURCE SANS PRO

To be used for titles, headers, and web text. This font should be installed on the computers of anyone who works with OSRI documents. Available for free from Google Fonts.

TIMES NEW ROMAN

Body font for long academic documents. Any other serif font can be substituted, including Minion, Georgia, or Constantia.

Voice

Voice is how text “sounds” to a reader, either in print or spoken form. When creating content for OSRI documents, web pages, scripts, or social channels, make sure OSRI is:

Approachable

OSRI should present itself publicly as a relatable source. In public documents, take time to explain difficult concepts, use concrete examples, avoid acronyms and technical jargon, and use photography and charts wherever possible.

Resourceful

OSRI should offer a wide array of materials, contacts, expert advice, and connections to any conceivable resource a community might need to improve its oil spill response.  

Forward-thinking

OSRI should portray itself as an organization on the edge of emerging research and technology.

Alaskan

OSRI should strive to represent the people of coastal Alaska as opposed to outside corporate or federal interests. Strive to be unbiased while also positioning OSRI as a local, homegrown partner. Use lots of photography, community resources, and personal examples
