SCENIC LIFE BY THE SEA
IN A SMALL TOWN
COMMUNITY
The logo expresses this unique
spirit. The interplay between the
water, the sky and the land is
represented in the relationships
of graphic elements:
Contrasting yet harmonious use of
color and typography are employed
for the words "port" and "orchard".
The lower edges of the letterforms
of the word "Orchard" suggesting
the shoreline underscore the
important relationship of the town
to the water and accentuate the
rhythm of the waving lines.
The two waving forms create the
sense of water movement , tide
lapping, and boat wakes as well as
offer a suggestion of celebration
like streamers in the wind. Their
woven relationship refers to the
community interchange.
CORRECT USE OF THE
PORT ORCHARD LOGO
The spacing, colors, fonts and size
relationships shown must be
maintained. Please use the digital
file provided only. Do not attempt
to recreate the logotype. The logo is
created with custom-crafted type
forms which can never be replaced
by a font.
The wave forms can also be used as
accent design elements See page

EXTERNAL USE: There are limited circumstances under which third parties may be granted permission to use the
City logos on a case-by-case basis for reproduction (for example, on websites, publications, print materials, email,

Wayfinding Logo, City staff must govern its limited use by third party entities in a professional, consistent manner.

protect the City’s public image by building and assessing new relationships with third party entities over time.
Permission to use the City logos is a privilege and requires direct, written City approval in every case.

2. Reproduction Guidelines:
• Proper Use. The following are the City’s Reproduction Guidelines for the proper use of the logo.
Any use of the logo that is inconsistent with these guidelines, or other unauthorized uses of the
logo that are confusingly similar to the City’s trademark, may violate the City’s trademark rights.
Any use of the logo other than under a license agreement with the City may violate the City’s rights.
The City’s logo or any other stylization of its trademark should never be used without the express
written permission of the City.
• Do Not Create Composite Marks. The logo must not appear to be part of any other mark (whether
words or graphics). Do not incorporate the logo into your own product names, service names,
trademarks, logos, or company names, and do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar
to the City Mark.
• Graphic Elements. The logo should be used only as provided by the City following obtaining
permission from the City to do so. The logo may only appear with the words, logotype, graphic
elements, and spacing approved for use, and may not be modified. See Guidelines Standards
attached as Exhibit A.
• Variations of Logo. You may not use a variation of the City’s logo. Variations of the logo may
confuse others as to the source of goods or services bearing the altered mark, and such uses may
infringe the City’s trademark rights and be actionable under relevant law. Do not join the logo to
other words, symbols or numbers, either as one word or with a hyphen. Do not use a phonetic
equivalent, foreign language equivalent, takeoff, or abbreviation of the logo for any purpose. Do
not portray the logo in a negative, false, disparaging or derogatory light. Always use the proper
spelling.
• Changes to Logo. The logo may not be distorted, and if the colors versions listed below
are being used they may not be changed in any way. If you have a special request, please
submit it via email or in writing to the City Council/Mayor/City Clerk or designee.

• Proper Notice and Attribution. Use the appropriate trademark symbol and trademark
acknowledgment of City ownership of the City’s logo.
Prohibited Uses. The City does not permit use of the logo in the following ways:
• as part of another trademark;
• to identify services that are not the City’s;
• in a manner likely to cause confusion between products and services of the City and those of another
entity;
• in a manner that inaccurately implies that the City sponsors or endorses or is otherwise affiliated with
other activities, products, or services;
• in connection with goods or services which, in the City's judgment, may diminish goodwill in the logo,
including, for example, uses which could be deemed to be obscene, pornographic, violent, or otherwise
in poor taste; or
• in connection with any unlawful activities or to encourage unlawful activities.
