Brand Foundation

Built like a local institution.

West Valley Fast Pitch should feel established, warm, athletic, and unmistakably local — a proud community program with more than fifty years on the diamond.

01

Unify the league

One visual language across fields, website, social, uniforms, merch, banners, and documents.

02

Claim the legacy

Est. 1974 anchors the identity to the league's roots and its community softball lineage.

03

Raise the standard

Make every touchpoint feel organized, credible, welcoming, and built to last.

Color

The official palette.

Primary red, primary cream, and softball gold are the default brand signal. Everything else supports them.

Default brand signal

Primary Red + Primary Cream + Softball Gold

Core palette · tap any color to copy its hex

Secondary accents

Reach for cream first

Use Primary Cream by default for clean, official league materials.

Warm it up with heritage

Use Heritage Cream for a warmer, nostalgic backdrop — history, storytelling, signage, and merch.

Accent with intent

Deep red, dark brown, and dusty teal are optional secondary accents. Use them sparingly.

Typography

One system, three jobs.

The logo is custom. Everything else uses real, repeatable fonts — on the website, banners, flyers, social graphics, sponsorship packets, rulebooks, and league documents.

Display

Roboto Slab · Bold / Black

Headlines, banners, division labels, social promos, merch statements.

Play with heart.

Utility

Lato · Regular / Semibold / Bold

Website body copy, buttons, forms, schedules, dates, captions, emails.

Registration opens March 1.

Girls fastpitch softball in West Valley City — divisions for 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14/18U. Field cleanup · 9:00 AM.

Do

  • Use Roboto Slab for big, public-facing moments.
  • Use Lato for details people must read quickly.
  • Use EB Garamond sparingly to add warmth and heritage.

Avoid

  • Don't lean on novelty fonts.
  • Don't set long paragraphs in varsity-style type.
  • Don't make every word bold, arched, or distressed.

Photography

Document the real league.

Look for dirt, dugouts, gloves, chalk lines, helmets, coaches, parents, sunset fields, and teammates celebrating. Show the girls as athletes.

Copy & Voice

Short. Confident. Warm. Local.

The voice should sound like a proud community program with history — direct enough for parents, spirited enough for players, and official enough for sponsors and schools.

  • Over 50 years of softball fun.
  • Play with heart.
  • West Valley plays ball.
  • Generations on the diamond.
  • More than softball. It's a tradition.

On the legacy: Use Est. 1974 as a heritage marker tied to WVFP's roots and lineage — not as a claim that the current name or corporate structure existed unchanged in 1974.

Naming

League name & "Fast Pitch" usage

The official name of the organization is West Valley Fast Pitch, Inc. In standard written communication, refer to the league as West Valley Fast Pitch — with "Fast Pitch" as two words. The one-word FASTPITCH is a display treatment only; it's part of the visual identity and never replaces the written name. Think of it as display typography vs. written language, not official vs. unofficial — a field banner can be very official and still use the branded FASTPITCH styling.

West Valley Fast Pitch, Inc. Legal name

State filings, contracts, banking, insurance, tax documents, formal resolutions and agreements.

West Valley Fast Pitch Standard written name

Normal prose — rules, policies, letters, website copy, emails, and press references.

WEST VALLEY FASTPITCH Branded styling

Display typography — logos, wordmarks, merch, signage, social graphics, headlines, and campaign creative.

WVFP Abbreviation

Once the league has been identified, or where the context is already clear.

Preferred

  • West Valley Fast Pitch is opening spring registration.
  • West Valley Fast Pitch, Inc. — contract / signature block
  • WEST VALLEY FASTPITCH — shirt graphic
  • FASTPITCH SINCE 1974 — promotional graphic
  • WVFP Rules Committee

Avoid

  • West Valley Fastpitch is opening registration.
  • West Valley Fastpitch, Inc.

Sentence-case "Fastpitch" reads like an alternate spelling of the name rather than a purposeful brand treatment.
