Minutes:

Prior to the CEO’s report being introduced, the Head of Marketing and Communications, Martin Keane, presented an update to the SAC/CC on the brand refresh.

The Committee was informed that the branding of Alexandra Palace had been carefully considered, taking into account the views of the Board. The monogram, ‘AP’, was meant to be friendly and informal with the intention that it be used in a number of ways, such as in relation to various events hosted by Alexandra Palace on their posters and tickets.

With regard to the ‘Full Name Logo’, it was intended that this would be used on more formal occasions, such as in letters of a serious nature. Careful consideration had gone into deciding what the new typeface for the ‘Full Name Logo’ should be and Granby was selected as it evoked a historical link of the same typeface being used in the past by Alexandra Palace. The design of the ‘Full Name Logo’ also reinforced the identity of the Palace as being a long-standing leisure destination whilst refining the logo with Granby maintained its professional nature with the even spacing of the lettering. The use of the new typeface, Granby, was used during the Great Fete and the response from the public was positive. 

Following discussion, it was noted:

  • There was not going to be a standalone logo for Alexandra Park. The logos represented both Alexandra Park and Palace and the design team felt it was crucial to have one unified brand.
  • Whilst the majority of events took place within the Palace, it was widely understood by clients that the Palace was uniquely set within the Park and the two complemented one another.
  • The colour palette included green, which could be used in connection with the Park.
  • An issue with the previous font used in the logo was similar to other palaces, such as Blenheim Palace. It was important that the refresh changed this to show the Palace was different to the other palaces to ensure the public did not have the same expectations. 
  • The Committee encouraged the brand refresh to incorporate the historical designs used by the Palace, such as the old coat of arms.

 

Following the presentation, the CEO, Louise Stewart, formally introduced the report and invited the SAC/CC to ask questions and/or make observations. The following was noted:

Consideration of charging for car parking at Alexandra Palace

  • The Committee had been assured consideration would be given to the impact on those in surrounding areas.
  • The Committee welcomed the potential charge if it were to raise income for the Palace and Park as long as it did not detract individuals from visiting.
  • It was requested the parking bays along Alexandra Palace Way also be reviewed and scrapped as it was felt they detracted from the Park.
  • The Committee suggested electric charging points should be included within the Palace’s car parks.
  • Regarding the shuttle bus that was to be introduced between Alexandra Park Station and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the CEO informed discussions had been  ...  view the full minutes text for item 114.
