New York jumps on ‘brandwagon’ with ‘State of Opportunity’
“State of Opportunity” includes branding bible

By Casey Seiler Updated 7:11 am, Thursday, December 11, 2014
Albany
Education is orange. Public safety is smoky gray. And only the governor gets to use the Great Seal.
 
These visual commandments and hundreds more are contained in an 87-page branding bible that last week was distributed to every state agency to support the concept of New York as the “State of Opportunity.” The motto and its accompanying logo “will be mandatory for agency and/or program communications,” according to the handbook.
 
Completed under the aegis of Empire State Development Corp., the branding project was handled primarily by the New York City-based advertising giant BBDO. It received a soft launch last month with the redesign of the state’s official website, ny.gov.
