BenvenutI!
The Palazzo sub-brand stands as strong and confident as our winged lion. As such, it is imperative to follow a predefined set of rules that can ensure consistency, relevancy, and recognizability when used in all forms of communication. This guide explains how to properly use all of our brand assets and covers topics like logo usage, color systems, typography, and tone of voice.
The Palazzo’s official lockup is composed of two elements: the shield frame and the flourished P. The elements’ relationship to each other has been set for optimal legibility and must not be altered or modified. There are multiple orientations of the lockup for a variety of layout compositions.
LOGOS
The Palazzo system is designed with a variety of logo lockups. Each lockup has a specific use case. The primary logo lockup is to be used in most cases, but other orientations exist to provide flexibility in the system.

Shield
The shielded P is the identifier for The Palazzo and should be used to maintain consistency across all marketing materials. The P letterform should always be combined with the shield and should not be altered in any way. Clear space is determined by half the height of the shield.

GUIDING LOGO PRINCIPLES
The Palazzo brand marks have an endless number of ways that they could be used INCORRECTLY. The below are examples of egregious design misuse. DO NOT alter the marks in any way. In extremely special circumstances where a mark must be altered for a unique print application, the application and design must be approved by The Venetian Resort’s Creative Director.
DO NOT use two colors
DO NOT create shield background
DO NOT fill the SHIELD
DO NOT use the P on its own
DO NOT USE shield AS A MASK
DO NOT place shield above vertical wordmark
TITLES & HEADERS
Stylistic treatments and flourishes should be used sparingly.
ALL CAPS - Works best with short headlines. (~4–6 words max)
Sentence case - Works best for longer headlines. (4+ words)
Stylistic italic flourishes - Use sparingly for the flourish to remain special and unique. Only uppercase letterforms should be styled, not lowercase. Please be careful about the awkward kerning caused when using these flourishes. Please hang flourishes as you would punctuation when centering and aligning type.
Please reference The Venetian Resort typographic examples for scale ratios between Romie and Brother 1816 in various placements.
