Within the Naples Airport, we have four sub-brands: Naples Airport Authority, Naples Aviation, Naples APF Cares, and Please Fly Safe, Fly Quiet. Our sub-brands consist of different initiatives and services offered by the airport. The logos of our parent brand and sub-brands are united by our official brand mark, primary brand colors and main fonts.

IMAGE GUIDELINES

A majority of the photos used should be original images from the airport.
If stock photos are used, be mindful to avoid showing commercial planes, or identifiable subjects (landmarks, people, animals) that are not found in Naples or Florida.
Use images that have bright colors, low saturation, or pastel colors
Make sure that images have a high contrast in texture and design
Maintain clean, consistent editing with consideration to the saturation of specific colors

DESIGN ELEMENTS

PALMS

The palm leaf is used as decorative background element in collateral materials. This element is typically used with varying degrees of transparency.

ICONS

Icons are used to add a pop of color and vibrancy in collateral materials. Icon outlines should maintain a line weight of 1pt – 2pt; avoid using overly thick strokes for icon elements. Icons should be easy for your audience to comprehend.

SET 1

Only use icons with an outline, no fill. Line weight should be 1pt – 2pt.

SET 2

Outlined gray icons within a white circle with a color outline. Outer white circle with 360 shadow effect.

GRADIENTS

ORANGE GRADIENTS

The use of the orange gradient should be limited to decorative elements in collateral, it should never be used as the main element. The orange gradient is meant to add a pop of color to marketing materials and should be limited to line elements, small curves and important titles.

BLUE GRADIENTS

The blue gradient should only be as a transparent background element overlayed in front of an image.

WHITE GRADIENTS

A white gradient that fades to transparency can be used over pictures to create an airy, clean look.
