About our brand
Understanding the brand identity and using it correctly and consistently will help amplify our awareness and impact.
The Smith for WV & WV Can’t Wait (S4WV & WVCW respectively) are two brand marks, sharing the same visual identity but with different messages. Our brand is expressed not just through our new graphic identity, but also through our behavior, messaging, communications, events, and all touch points of connection with our communities.
By paying special attention to all the ways we express the S4WV & WVCW brands, we share in being part of the movement, its story – our story – and build our brand value. Maintaining this today will help ensure clear communication as we continue towards the 2020 election.

Color
The primary palette
Cyan and Red are the core colors of WVCW & S4WV brand. The black is to be used only when color isn’t available. Tints of these colors should not be used, as anything less than vibrant and energetic does not properly represent the campaign or movement.
The secondary palette
The six additional colors shown on this page can be used in conjunction with the primary palette as well as separately. These are to be used on personalized logomarks, as well as supportive colors alongside the primary color palette shown above. Please don’t tint or shift the opacity of these colors. We want them to bold, vibrant, energetic, and easy to read.
Color combos
Any two colors can be combined. We recommended that the selected two colors have enough contrast from one another. For example, yellow and orange may not have a great deal of contrast, whereas red and blue does. The darker, more vibrant color is applied to the word banners, the lighter one to the state’s shape.
There are so many colors combinations to really make your logo yours.
