Brand And Design System

One recognizable program. A consistent family of deliverables. This is the working standard for every report, presentation, learning convening and digital surface produced under the Behavioral Health Performance Management program.

This Standard

The palette, the type system and the editorial rules on this page are the standard. Where an older BHPM document disagrees with this page, this page is correct.

01 · Orientation

A Shared Design Language

Every document the program publishes carries the same mark, the same navy foundation, the same coral detail and the same reading order. A reader who has seen one BHPM document recognizes the next one before reading a word of it.

Why One System

School-based behavioral health work has historically arrived in fragments. Every agency brings its own terminology, its own template and its own color, so a superintendent reading four documents about one student population cannot tell which findings connect. The program is judged on whether its record holds together.

This system exists to make the record legible as one body of work. It is deliberately small: two inks, three typefaces with one job each, one page anatomy and a handful of components. A small system is one a partner can actually follow without a designer in the room.

Outcomes Over Apparatus

Never describe what the measurement does. Describe what it lets someone see or decide. A page that explains its own machinery has spent the reader's attention on the wrong thing.

Institutional Credibility

The record is read by people who audit it. Type, spacing and color are all set to survive that reading: dense where the reader wants density, plain where a claim is being made, sourced everywhere.

No Deficiency Framing

Capacity facts are stated about the cohort, never as a shortfall of a named school. This is a design constraint as much as an editorial one, and it is why this palette has no red alert state.

01.2 · The Frame

Four Words The System Has To Carry

01

Evidence

Every figure the program publishes is aggregate, de-identified and traceable to a source a reader can open. The design system exists to make that traceability visible rather than claimed.

02

Partnership

A county office, six districts, eighteen schools and five supporting partners all publish under one mark. The system has to work when someone else is holding the pen.

03

Learning

Convenings, coaching sessions and site visits generate as much of the record as the reports do. Worksheets and slides are first-class surfaces here, not afterthoughts.

04

Reports

Nine contract deliverables across two years, read by a state commission, county superintendents and site practitioners in the same week. One page anatomy serves all three readers.

One Mark, Every Partner

This publication carries the BHPM mark alone and no organization's co-branding, so any partner can hand it on without appearing to endorse a vendor. Rules for joint documents are in Rules & Handoff.

02 · Identity

The Mark And Its Lockups

Five authorized lockups, each with a job. Use the supplied file. A BHPM typed in a heading is not the mark.

Core MasterBHPM primary horizontal mark
Lockup 01

Primary Horizontal Mark

The default. Report covers, site headers, portal mastheads, executed agreements. If there is room for one mark, this is the mark.

One-Color Lockup

Single-ink print, photocopy, fax, newsprint inserts and any reproduction that cannot hold the coral. Solid navy, or solid white when reversed. This is the lockup that carries the tagline, so choosing it is choosing to publish the line.

Square Icon

Browser tabs, app launchers, avatars, document stamps and any square container. Never stretched to fill a rectangle.

02.2 · Grounds

On Paper, And On Navy

Two files, not one file and a filter. The navy artwork goes on white or Paper. The reversed white artwork goes on Navy 800 or darker. Nothing goes on a mid-tone, and nothing goes over a photograph.

BHPM mark on a light ground

Navy artwork on White or Paper. 12.41:1 against the page ground.

BHPM reversed mark on a navy ground

Reversed artwork on Navy 800 or darker. Use the light file, never an inversion.

02.3 · Rationale

How The Program Reads Its Own Mark

The readings below are the reasoning the program adopts going forward. They are a shared way to talk about the mark, not an account of how the artwork was first drawn.

BHPM mark shown for anatomy reference
The Focal Node

Where Two Systems Meet

The coral node sits between the education half of the wordmark and the measurement half. The program reads it as the point where a district and its county behavioral health partner actually coordinate, which is the thing the program measures.

The Connecting Bar

One Continuous Record

A single horizontal stroke carries across the letterforms rather than stopping between them. Read as continuity: one record across four counties, not four records filed together.

The Letterform Weight

Built To Be Audited

Heavy block letterforms hold at small sizes and in single-ink reproduction. The mark has to survive a photocopied board packet, which is where a lighter mark falls apart.

The Two-Ink Break

Governance And Vitality

Navy carries the institutional weight. Coral appears once, and only at the node. That ratio is the whole color rule of the system in miniature.

02.4 · The Tagline

A Smarter, Healthier System.

BHPM one-color lockup with the tagline set beneath the mark

The tagline is drawn into the one-color lockup. Any partner using that file is publishing it, which is why it is governed here rather than left to a campaign.

What It Claims

It is a claim about the system, not about a school. Smarter means the behavioral health picture is built from evidence a district can open and check. Healthier means the point of the measurement is what changes for students, not the measurement itself.

Set It In Title Case, With The Period

A Smarter, Healthier System. The comma and the closing period are part of the line. It is a sentence, and it is punctuated like one.

Never Larger Than The Wordmark

Where it appears as live text rather than inside the artwork, it sits below the mark at no more than a third of the wordmark's cap height.

Once Per Surface

A cover, or a footer, or a slide title card. Never two of them in the same document, and never inside a table or a heading.

Not A Substitute For The Program Name

First reference is always Behavioral Health Performance Management. The tagline supports the name; it does not stand in for it.

02.5 · Geometry

Clear Space And Minimum Size

X Equals The Cap Height Of The B

X = Cap Height

Keep a clear margin of at least X on all four sides of the mark. Nothing enters that margin: no headline, no rule, no page border, no partner logo, no photograph edge.

1X Top1X Bottom1X Left1X Right
BHPM mark inside its clear space perimeter

Do Not Encroach

Type, gridlines, table borders and secondary seals all stay outside the perimeter. If the layout is too tight to hold it, the mark is too large for the space.

Approved Grounds

Place the navy artwork on white or on Paper. Place the white artwork on Navy 800 or darker. Never place either on a mid-tone or over a photograph.

Minimum Reproduction

Below these sizes the focal node closes up and the mark stops reading. Measure width, not height.

About The SVGs

The SVGs are faithful traces of the supplied raster, produced by scripts/trace-brand-svg.py, and recolored to the canonical inks. They are exact on the straight edges, which is most of this mark, and within a three quarter pixel tolerance on the curves. Use them for anything larger than the PNG's own pixel size. A native vector redraw is still the open production item.

03 · Color

The Palette Was Measured, Not Chosen

The five supplied logo files do not agree with each other. Sampled pixel by pixel, the navy ranges across five values and the coral across four. That spread is export variance from one underlying vector, not five brand colors, and it is why partners have been quoting different hex codes.

What Each File Measured

Sampled at the opaque core of each supplied lockup. Anti-aliased edges excluded.

ArtworkNavyL*CoralL*

bhpm-one-color.png#0C386623.3Single ink
bhpm-wordmark-two-line.png#0B386422.9#FD504159.1

Navy spread across the supplied files: L* 19.2 to 23.3. Coral spread: L* 58.3 to 59.4.

Method

Each file was sampled at its opaque core, ignoring anti-aliased edges. Each sample was converted to CIELAB and reduced to one centroid per artwork, so the large square icon does not outvote the narrow wordmark. Those five centroids were averaged, and the result matched against Pantone Solid Coated by CIEDE2000.

The Result Is Reproducible

The two values below are the canonical inks. When the artwork is next redrawn from vector, it should be redrawn to these. The derivation is committed alongside the record at scripts/derive-brand-palette.py and prints every value on this page. Re-run it if the artwork is ever redrawn.

3581 C measures a hundredth of a Delta closer, which is far below anything an eye can separate, so the two are a tie. 534 C is the specified ink because it is the more widely stocked of the pair. A nearer match exists in the Premium Metallics series and is excluded: it is not a process ink a report can be printed in.

Emphasis, and only emphasis. Section eyebrows, the rule under a heading, an active tab, a numbered finding badge, one call to action per view.

On White3.29:1 AA Large Only

Warm Red C is the fallback where 2027 C is unavailable. It runs slightly hotter and slightly lighter, which is acceptable for a single accent at this size.

Pantone matches computed by CIEDE2000 against a published Solid Coated sRGB and Lab reference set of 3,219 colors. Treat them as the specification to send a printer, and confirm against a physical Color Bridge on the first press run.

03.3 · Ramps

Everything Else Is A Tint Of Those Two

Both ramps hold their ink's hue exactly and move only in lightness, with chroma tapering into the light end so a tint stays a clean neutral. There is no separate gray palette in this system. Every neutral on the page is navy.

A Deliberate Absence

There Is No Alert Red In This System

The program does not describe a school as lacking something, so the palette gives it no way to. A district that has not yet reached a readiness level is shown in neutral navy, not in red. Navy reads as not yet recorded. Red reads as failure, and failure is not a finding this program makes about a named school.

Coral is not a warning color either. It carries emphasis, and it appears in navy company. A page where coral means danger in one place and emphasis in another has no color system at all.

03.6 · Rules

How To Spend The Color

Coral Stays Under A Tenth Of The Page

Roughly one accent per screen or spread: an eyebrow, a rule, a badge, one button. Coral spent everywhere signals nothing.

Never Pure Black, Never Pure Gray

Body text is Navy 800. Every neutral on the page is a navy tint, hue-locked at 277.4°, so the grays sit in the same family rather than reading as a second palette.

Color Never Carries Meaning Alone

A status color always ships with its word. Met, Conditional, Not Yet. A reader who cannot separate the hues still reads the table.

Add A Color By Adding A Token

New values are added to the token set and used by name. A hex value typed at a call site is how a system drifts back into five navies.

04 · Typography

Editorial Authority, Everyday Clarity

Three faces, each with a job it does not share. A serif that carries the register the record is read in, a sans that stays legible where the data gets dense, and a monospace that makes a machine string look like one.

Substitutes, And Only These

All three faces are self-hosted with the site, so nothing depends on a partner having them installed. For a document a partner will edit in Word or Google Docs, substitute Georgia for Merriweather, Arial for Plus Jakarta Sans, and Consolas or Courier New for DM Mono. Those are the approved substitutes and no others.

Both typefaces are licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, so they can be embedded in a document, installed on a partner's machine and redistributed with the asset pack. The license text ships alongside each file and has to travel with it.

Self-Hosting All Three

Merriweather and Plus Jakarta Sans are variable, so one file per style covers their whole weight range. DM Mono is not, so it takes one file per weight. Drop the woff2 files somewhere your site serves and declare them once.

How To Set It

Tighten As It Grows

Display and H1 carry negative tracking. Large serif type set at zero tracking reads loose and amateur.

One Display Per Document

The 44 px step names the document. A second one competes with it and the reader loses the hierarchy.

Numbers Are Tabular

Every figure in a table, matrix or metric panel uses tabular numerals so columns align down the page.

Eyebrows Are Uppercase, Tracked And Short

Eleven pixels, 0.08em, three or four words. An eyebrow that wraps is a heading in the wrong slot.

Measure Caps At 68 Characters

Long-form prose holds a 68ch measure. Wider than that and the reader loses the line return.

A Page With A Clear Reading Order

Four zones, in this order, on every substantive page. A reader who stops after zone B should still know what the page claims. A page that ends on a table has asked the reader to draw the conclusion alone.

Zone A

Utility Strip

Contract number, deliverable reference, date, version. Mono, quiet, always present so any printed page can be identified out of context.

Zone B

Statement

Eyebrow, heading, coral rule, lede. The reader should be able to stop here and know what the page claims.

Zone C

Bars are navy, never a gradient and never colored by value. The number carries the reading; the bar only helps the eye scan.

The values above are specimen geometry with no district attached. Program readiness is recorded in words, as Ready, Ready With Conditions or Not Yet Ready, and a component that turns those into a score is the wrong component.

Pull Quote And Source

The cohort was not selected for districts that had already solved performance management. It was selected for districts with the service capacity, staffing and technical infrastructure to make performance management possible.

Deliverable 1 · Selection And Readiness Record

A source line names the document, in mono, at the foot of the block it supports. Never a bare footnote number with nothing to open.

Which Organizer For Which Question

Start from the question the reader is holding. The organizer follows from it, and picking it the other way round is how a page ends up with a chart nobody needed.

The Reader's QuestionUseHow
How many, and compared to what?Metric panelThree or six cells, hairline partitioned, on a navy ground

How To Write It

Six rules that are not stylistic preferences. They hold across headings, labels, body prose, alt text, metadata and anything a generator emits, in every document the program publishes.

1

Title Case Every Word In A Heading

Including and, the, of, a, to, for. Applies to headings, labels, column headers, tabs and pills. Body prose stays sentence case.

2

No Em Dashes Anywhere

Recast with a period, a colon or a comma. An en dash inside a range is correct: 2026–27, K–8. The middot is the house separator.

3

The Record Reads As Finished

Never draft, provisional, pending, in review, not yet written or TBD. A deliverable not yet written is described by what it will contain and when it is due.

4

No School Is Described As Lacking

Capacity facts are stated about the cohort. Never as a deficiency of a named district or school.

5

No Student-Level Data

Every figure published anywhere in the program is aggregate and de-identified. There is no exception for an internal deck.

6

Never Invent A Number

Every figure traces to the California School Dashboard, an executed agreement, a board-adopted LCAP, the contract, or a source read directly. If the source is not in front of you, leave the figure out.

06.2 · Terminology

The Words The Program Uses

Where older language appears in a source document, it is an artifact of an earlier era of this work. Do not inherit it. Flag it.

TermRule
Behavioral Health Performance ManagementSpell out in full at first use in any document, then BHPM.
Impacter PathwayTitle case in record and report prose. IMPACTER in capitals only in the display headline and the dark top strip.
Durable skillsUse this. Never soft skills, never non-cognitive.
Authentic voice, student voiceUse these. Never SEL or social-emotional learning.
Machine learningUse this in technical prose. Never AI as a product descriptor.
Portrait measurementUse this for competency measurement against a district's own framework.
06.3 · Co-Branding

Partner And Endorsement Lockups

This publication carries the BHPM mark alone, so any partner can hand it on without appearing to endorse a vendor. Joint documents are different, and these are the rules for them.

Standard Endorsement OrderEqual Optical Weight
01 · Program CoreThe BHPM MarkSupplied artwork
02 · Lead Educational AgencyCounty Office Or DistrictTheir own mark
03 · Implementation And TechnicalDelivery And Research PartnersTheir own marks

Equal Optical Weight

A partner mark sits between 80 and 100 percent of the BHPM wordmark's cap height. Measure cap height, not bounding box, or a tall logo will dominate.

One Hairline Between Marks

A 1 px Navy 200 rule, vertically centered, matching the height of the tallest mark. No box, no background panel, no shadow.

Order Follows Accountability

Program mark first, then the lead educational agency, then implementation and technical partners. Alphabetical order is not the rule here.

Name The Contract In The Footer

A co-branded document names the agreement it was produced under in its footer, in mono, at the foot of every page.

How To Ask For A Change

This standard is expected to change. It gets better when a partner who is actually producing a document says what did not work.

The SVGs are faithful traces of the supplied raster, produced by scripts/trace-brand-svg.py, and recolored to the canonical inks. They are exact on the straight edges, which is most of this mark, and within a three quarter pixel tolerance on the curves. Use them for anything larger than the PNG's own pixel size. A native vector redraw is still the open production item.

Tokens

The palette, the type scale and the spacing scale, generated from the same derivation the Color section describes.

bhpm-tokens.cssEvery value as a CSS custom property, ready to paste into a stylesheet.Download Web and product work
bhpm-tokens.jsonThe same values as structured JSON, including the type scale and spacing.Download Design tools and build pipelines
Typefaces

Variable woff2, latin subset, with the license terms that have to travel with them. Both are also free from Google Fonts.

This Standard

The whole standard as a document, with a cover, a contents page and page numbers. Rendered from this page, so it carries the same values.

Printing the page produces the same document. Either way it is rendered from this page, so the two cannot drift apart.
