IntroductionCorporate identity is crucial in today’s competitive marketplace as the reputation and image of a company, as well as its name, symbol and appearance are powerful influences on the minds of the general public. Surf & Snow Adventure Tours, we are very proud to note, has one of the most recognizable names and visual identities in the market.

It has taken a lot of work and consistency, but our corporate identity distinguishes us from our competition and reinforces our reputation for comfortable and welcoming environments, premium quality, traditional values and friendly, knowledgeable service.

The key word is consistency. The power of our corporate identity, and thus our image as an industry leader, is dependent on consistency. Not just in decor, signage, and people, though these factors certainly help determine our image, but especially the regularity of our corporate appearance.

A clear and consistent image is crucial to continued growth and success as guests are instinctively drawn to a high degree of dependability. As a result, constant and uniform use of our corporate logo, colours and typeface play a powerful role in all forms of communication. Even the simplest business card or letterhead is an expression of our company image. It reflects the excellence of our products and service. It assures familiarity and dependability. And, it reinforces our leadership status.

For this reason it’s very important to follow the guidelines which govern the use and applications of our corporate identity, graphics and signage. Even the slightest deviation from the standards in this manual will reduce our corporate integrity and the impact of our communications. If you respect the components of the Surf & Snow Adventure Tours identity (the logo, typeface and colors) as the official emblems they are, you will benefit through a profitable business and career fulfillment.

The Visual IdentityThe visual identity of Surf & Snow Adventure Tours is meant to represent the outdoor nature of the company. The Celtic-style logo reflects this as it evokes imagery of the outdoors. The typeface choices further demonstrate this as it is weathered. Sports, excitement, waves, and mountains are other important connotations.
