Mission Statement
Background • 9
Barkery 28 is a store providing dog owners with a healthy alternative in food, toys, and accessories for their dogs. All products sold by Barkery 28 are made with natural ingredients or organic materials.
Barkery 28 is located on 8th Street in downtown Holland, Michigan. Downtown Holland is the location to a variety of specialty shops in addition to many local restaurants, which makes Barkery 28 a good fit. This area of the city is rather busy with a steady flow of foot traffic and people walking in and out of the many shops. Holland itself is a dog-friendly city, which is an added benefit to the store’s location. Often people are seen walking their dogs in the area, and there are several dog parks located within min-utes of the downtown area.
Dogs are always welcome to come inside Barkery 28 to participate in the shopping experience. The store is remi-niscent of an old candy shop or ice cream parlor. Treats are available in old-fashioned candy jars and they can be sampled by the dogs. This ensures that the owner leaves the shop with food that they know the dog will enjoy.
Barkery 28 offers a variety of products including all natu-ral dog treats and food, organic toys, and non-toxic water bowls and food dishes. However, the store is best known for the handmade dog treats. The treats made at Barkery 28 are made only of human quality ingredients, and they are made with real fruits and vegetables. Prepackaged all natural dog treats and food are also available.
Shop Profile
12 • Identity
The primary logo is used for most applications. This logo must always be used on all of the pieces of the business system—letterhead, envelope, business cards. It is also to be used on brochures and the website. It can also be used for environmental graphics.
The primary logo is a wordmark accompanied by a bone symbol placed between thin rule lines.
Refer to this manual for correct usage of the logo.

Secondary Logo
14 • Identity
The height of “twenty-eight” in the logo is “x.”
The logo must maintain a space of 1⁄4 x between the bone symbol and the words on either side.

The primary logo can be sized down to 9 ⁄10” for its smallest application. This is the size to be used on business cards. If an application will require the logo to be a smaller size, it will be necessary to use the secondary logo.
A set minimum size is required to ensure that the bone and thin rule lines are able to be seen clearly.
Sizing Requirements
9⁄10”
1⁄2”
The secondary logo can be sized down to 1 ⁄2” for its small-est application. Nothing smaller than this may be used as the rules lines become noticeably less visible. It is also important that “twenty-eight” can be read clearly.

The full-color version of the logo is to be used whenever possible. This logo is most appropriate for application on white or light colored backgrounds. This version of the logo should never be used on dark backgrounds.
Color Variations
The one-color version of the logo is to be used when the full-color version cannot. This logo may be used to keep the cost for printing lower if needed. It may also be used in any instance in which the pink color of the strokes will be too light to be clearly seen.
Identity • 19
The black and white version of the logo is only used when it is not possible to use the full-color logo or one-color logo. This logo may be necessary to use in applications such as newspaper advertisements.
The reverse version of the logo is used if the logo is being applied on top of dark colored backgrounds. This version of the logo is specifically used on the iPhone application and on the cover of various brochures.
20 • Identity
These are acceptable color treatments for both versions of the logo. Pink should never be used for the wordmark. It is intended solely for use on the bone and rule lines. For this reason, the secondary logo only appears in blue.
Acceptable Color Treatment
Do not use the reversed logo over a light color.
Identity • 21
Pink is never the primary color for the logo.
Unacceptable Color Treatment
Do not change the color of the logo.
Don’t place the color logo over a dark background.
Don’t place the logo over a busy background.

42 • Applications
The Barkery 28 website is an informational tool. The user is able to browse the treats made in the store and read about their health benefits —allowing the user to educate himself before coming into the store.
The treat finder is a three question survey taken from the perspective of the dog. It first asks the dog to identify the size of its breed. Then he identifies any food allergies he has. Last, the dog is able to check off the different quali-ties he is looking for in a treat such as “immunity boost,”
“protein power,” or “joint relief.”
Website
Additionally, the site offers information regarding the dif-ferent ingredients that are used in Barkery 28 treats. It not only shows what is being put into the treats, but how those ingredients will benefit the user’s dog.
Also featured is information about the store. This section of the site includes employee profiles, additional product listing, and general information about the store such as its location and the hours of operation.
