Acceptable Logos
6
These are logos to be used in branding for Farmers’ Row Foods. It is important to be consistent so that customers can instantly recognize the brand and come to associate a certain look with Farmer’s Row. Below are the acceptable colors and logo combinations.
The combination mark is exactly what it sounds like: a combination for the symbol and the wordmark. The one-color logo limits the colors needed for printing, therefore making a print job cheaper. The two-color and gray scale logos serve similar purposes.

Free Space/Minimum Display Size
8
Free space determines the minimum distance you are allowed to place text or other objects next to the logo. In order to have a consistent amount of space without worrying about math or proportion, use the ‘w,’ as seen in the wordmark for Farmers’ Row as your measuring stick. The distance is equal on all four sides of the acceptable logos and wordmarks. This free space pertains to all applications.

Acceptable typography limits the choice of font that can be used in designs for the store. This keeps everything looking unified and relevant to the company.
Helvetica and Lucida Bright are each very smooth, clean, and classical without looking outdated.

Patterns
11
These patterns are designed to echo the company’s roots in the rural community. Rows and rows of corn are commonplace in south-central Pennsylvania, as are endless freshly plowed fields. A quilted pattern represents a simpler time, a sentiment Farmers’ Row Foods wishes to emphasize.

Wayfinding
16
Wayfinding is the system of signs that leads customers to their destinations, such as aisles and checkouts. All store signage should be clear and legible. All Farmers’ Row signage aims for a rural, down-home feel to bring back memories of simple life.
The storefront uses logo 2.3 to catch the eyes of commuters along the road. The bright but natural colors give it a modern look. The awning offers shelter from weather if necessary.
Building materials include brick for the entrance and columns, and beige paneling for the rest of the building. Three-panelled windows flank the entrance to bring some natural light to shoppers.
