# Nashville PBS Design System A design system for **Nashville PBS (WNPT)**, the PBS member station serving Middle Tennessee. It packages the brand's visual foundations, reusable UI components, and a full website UI kit so designers and agents can produce on-brand interfaces and assets quickly. Nashville PBS inherits the **national PBS brand system** (PBS Blue, PBS Sans, the "everyman" P-head logo, the primary/accent palette) and layers on its own local lockups and geometric brand patterns. > **Mission.** *Nashville PBS tells honest stories that bring Tennessee together.* Nashville PBS tells honest stories of Tennessee's past, present, and future, using media for good to educate, inspire, and strengthen our community. (FY27-29 Strategic Plan, Final Draft) --- ## Voice and Messaging The station's own Messaging Guide (v2, `assets/guides/Messaging-Guide-v2.pdf`) governs written and spoken communication; the national PBS voice principles sit underneath it. Its mission, vision and values page predates the FY27-29 strategic plan; the statements below are the current ones. **Mission, vision and values (FY27-29 Strategic Plan, Final Draft).** Vision: "At Nashville PBS, we believe the right story, told honestly, can change everything." Mission: "Nashville PBS tells honest stories that bring Tennessee together." Values, the CIRCLE: Community, Integrity, Respect, Creativity, Leadership, Education. Quote these exactly; the earlier versions in the Messaging Guide (mission "NPT connects Nashville and beyond...", vision "NPT cultivates meaningful connections...", CIRCLE with Learning and Equity) are retired. The full plan is the board workbook linked from the FY27-29 plan page. **Positioning.** Nashville PBS is an essential community institution that supports community members with non-commercial, trusted, educational programming and services. **Tagline.** The former tagline, "For the love of our community.", is retired (Shane Burkeen, 2026-09-18) and is not used in new work. Where a piece wants a single closing line, use the vision statement: "At Nashville PBS, we believe the right story, told honestly, can change everything." The Messaging Guide still prints the old line; read past it. **Key messages.** *Old and New Nashville*: we address lifelong Nashvillians, new residents and visitors as we help the community bridge old and new Nashville. *Content*: non-commercial, objective, trusted broadcast programs, plus content made for the interests, formats and viewing styles of digital audiences. *Partnerships*: we work with community partners and independent producers on programming that reflects and celebrates our community. *Trust*: we are the local PBS station, and PBS has long ranked as the nation's most trusted media brand in the Roper poll. *Lifelong learning*: educational services and lifelong learning are the DNA of public broadcasting. **Tone: we're moving, welcoming, bright and local.** *Moving*: spark curiosity with open-ended questions ("Have humans broken the climate clock?"); make it personal by bringing individual narratives forward; use our long legacy for perspective on today. *Welcoming*: recommend shows with confidence ("Did you enjoy She Loves Me? You'll love Holiday Inn."); find common ground through universal truths ("There's an adventurer in all of us."); give viewers a voice with quotes and first-person stories. *Bright*: find the light, positive and action-oriented even on heavy topics; measure the impact with real numbers ("Nearly 75% of our budget comes from support in our region"); frame new programs from a fresh angle. *Local*: create nostalgia around our collective past, knowing not everyone remembers it the same way; focus on what makes the region unique; ask community members to share their own stories ("Did you visit the Opry as a kid? If so, tell us about it."). **Headline starters and vocabulary.** The guide's sample headlines ("Celebrating all things Nashville", "Bring the world home", "Curiosity welcomed", "Feed your curiosity", "Spread wonder", "Power in people", "The world is waiting", "See yourself there") are starting points, not copy to reuse verbatim. Favor its verbs (guide, shine, explore, immerse, share, learn, discover, empower, nurture, engage) and phrases ("Shine a light", "Go behind the scenes", "Get an inside look", "Your voice matters", "You make it possible", "Won't you join us?"). **Point of view and register.** "We" and "our" for the organization; "you" and "your" to the viewer, member or donor; community first ("our community", "Middle Tennessee"). Plainspoken, warm, nonpartisan and inclusive; active voice, concise sentences, descriptive headings. No jargon, no hype, no unsupported claims. Numbers are used sparingly and must be factual and sourced. Emoji are not used; exclamation points are rare. **Casing and text rules.** Title Case for headers, titles and labels; sentence case for subheads and body copy; text always left-aligned, never justified. ALL CAPS only for brief secondary labels (TONIGHT, ALL NEW, LIVE). Italic only for captions and quotes. PBS and PBS KIDS are always all caps in copy. "Nashville PBS" in public copy; "WNPT" only for broadcast, technical or historical clarity. **Fundraising and underwriting copy** stays truthful, mission-centered and noncommercial: no guarantees, exaggerated claims, pressure tactics or ad-like sponsor language. Underwriting acknowledgments identify supporters rather than promote them. Every external draft gets a fact check, rights review and approval before release. **CTAs.** Short, active verbs: Start Watching, My List, Donate, Become a Member, Learn More. --- ## Logo The Nashville PBS logo is a station co-brand in the national PBS system: the wordmark "Nashville" in PBS Sans alongside the PBS logo (shield, P-head profiles and the custom PBS logotype). It is fixed artwork. The four official files are in `assets/logos/`: **Horizontal** (primary, `NashvillePBS_Logo_Horizontal_*.svg`) and **Vertical** (for narrow or square spaces, `NashvillePBS_Logo_Vertical_*.svg`), each in **Color** and **White**. The `Logo` component renders them (`orientation`, `tone`, `height`). **Colorways.** Color: PBS Blue wordmark and shield with white profiles, for white and light surfaces. White: white wordmark and shield with PBS Blue profiles, for Navy, Medium Blue, PBS Blue, the gradients, the Patterns and photography under the Navy overlay. The two are interchangeable by background; nothing else is a colorway. Black and white versions exist only for one-color print (positive: white profiles; reverse: black profiles) and for translucent watermarks and on-air bugs (positive black and white at 25% opacity, profiles never transparent). Never grayscale. **Clear space and size.** Keep clear space of at least 25% of the logo's height on every side. In print the PBS logo never runs smaller than 0.5 in wide by 0.2 in tall. On screen this system's convention (not a PBS rule) is a shield of 24 px or more, which keeps the profiles legible. **Do not** separate the profiles, shield or logotype; rearrange, rescale, flip or rotate elements; stretch or distort; recolor; knock out the profiles; add shadows, embossing or other effects; place the logo or shield inside a box or carrier shape; use the logo inside running text; or typeset "PBS" in PBS Sans to imitate the logotype. In copy, PBS is always all caps. **On air and in national toolkits**, the "PBS/Station co-branded logo" is this lockup itself, at equal scale with PBS and with every other affiliation removed (On-Air Toolkit 3.1). There is no separate PBS plus Nashville PBS lockup, and no station use where the PBS logo stands alone. **Legal line** for printed goods and web pages: "PBS and the PBS Logo are trademarks owned by Public Broadcasting Service. Used with permission." Small type at the foot of the piece. **Files.** Vector only, exported with fills as presentation attributes (the rule and the reason are in `assets/logos/README.md`). The 2026-09-17 exports replaced the repaired copies from the migration. **Event lockup.** For station events the logo carries a slash and EVENT (`NashvillePBS_Event_*.svg`, four files in `assets/logos/`). It is a station composition, not PBS artwork; its rules are under Intentional Additions. --- ## Sub-brands and Channels Nashville PBS carries three sub-channels and the PBS KIDS service. The files are in `assets/channels/`; the `Channels` preview in the Brand group shows every treatment side by side. **WORLD, All Arts and Create: proximate endorsement with a pipe.** PBS Brand Guidelines (Aug 2022, Sub-Channel Branding) ask that third-party sub-channels never be integrated into the PBS logo; they sit proximate to it, separated by a pipe, stacked, or clearly apart, with the 25% clear space. Nashville PBS standardizes on the **pipe lockup**: the station logo, a thin vertical rule the height of the shield, then the channel mark, all sharing one baseline geometry. WORLD (`NashvillePBSWORLD_FullColor_Horizontal.svg`, `_Inverse_` for dark surfaces, plus the stacked `WRLD_NashvillePBS_Vertical*.svg`) and All Arts (`PBSNashville_AllArts_RGB-HEX.svg`, `_WHITE_`, `_BLACK_`) were supplied by the channels in that form. Create supplied a stacked co-brand (`Nashville_PBS_Create_Cobrand.svg`, kept for spaces that need a stacked mark); `NashvillePBS_Create_Pipe_Color.svg` and `_White.svg` are Nashville PBS compositions of that artwork in the WORLD geometry so the three channels match, and they are the standard Create lockups (approved by Nashville PBS, 2026-09-17; the pipe separator is one of the treatments PBS permits, so no channel sign-off is needed). The channel marks keep their own colors (WORLD gold, Create orange); the pipe and the channel wordmark are black on light surfaces and white on dark ones, as the channels supplied them. Never rebuild a lockup from parts, restyle a channel mark, or set the marks at different scales on one page. **PBS KIDS: architecture, not a lockup.** PBS KIDS Station Logo Architecture 1.2.1 replaces co-branding with a spatial relationship. Place the PBS KIDS logo left, right, above or below the Nashville PBS logo (or well apart from it), at least the height of the station logo and larger when useful, with clear space of 25% of the PBS KIDS logo's diameter. An optional connecting phrase ("From", "On", "Presented by", "A service of") sits above the station logo in a font and color that complement it (PBS Sans Bold in PBS Blue here); agree the wording with PBS KIDS. Never replace the PBS logo inside the station lockup with PBS KIDS. **PBS KIDS logo rules (Style Guide 1.3.1).** Use the primary logo (PBS Blue circle, PBS KIDS Green `#99CF16` "PBS", white "KIDS") most of the time. Digital files carry no SM mark; print files always do (`PBS_KIDS_*_RGB_Digital.svg` for screens, `PBS_KIDS_*_CMYK_Print.svg` for print). PBS KIDS supplied only the primary in digital form, so the digital Reverse, White and Black files are recolorings of that primary made here at the station's direction, with the geometry untouched and the colors from the style guide (no SM); swap in PBS KIDS's own files if they arrive. Do not place the primary logo on PBS Blue; use the Reverse version there (white circle, PBS Blue letters), and prefer surfaces where the primary works. Black and White versions are for one-color use only. Never separate the circle from the letters, recolor, rotate, stretch, add strokes or effects, make it grayscale, let a background show through the letters, or let other elements overlap it. In text, PBS KIDS is always all caps and carries ® on first mention in print. Printed materials and web pages carry the PBS KIDS ownership attribution line: "PBS KIDS and the PBS KIDS Logo are trademarks owned by Public Broadcasting Service. Used with permission." **PBS KIDS Headline** (Regular, Bold, Condensed, Condensed Bold; `fonts/PBSKIDSHeadline-*.woff2`, tokens `--font-kids` and `--font-kids-cond`) is for PBS KIDS-branded local materials only, never for station or channel communication. The license that came with the package says do not redistribute without permission; it stays inside this system. **Shield-only exception.** The PBS shield without the logotype is allowed only in local channel guides, as the blue shield with white profiles, and only as a graphic requested from PBS. **Channel lineup in copy.** Four broadcast channels plus ALL ARTS, which is digital only. In copy: Nashville PBS, WORLD, PBS KIDS 24/7, Create TV, ALL ARTS (WORLD, PBS KIDS and ALL ARTS always in capitals). With channel numbers, in TV and streaming guides only: WNPT Nashville PBS, WNPT2 WORLD, WNPT3 PBS KIDS, WNPT4 Create; ALL ARTS has no WNPT number. Service area: Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky. One channel mark per graphic, beside or instead of the station lockup, with the same clear space. (Source: the standalone project's SKILL.md as of 2026-10-23, kept at `assets/notes/SKILL.from-standalone-2026-10-23.md`; added here 2026-11-06.) **Channel marks in code.** `ChannelLogo` renders the lockups from artwork embedded in the bundle (`channel`, `orientation`, `tone`, `print`, `height`); `ChannelAssets.uri` exposes the same files as data URIs for CSS and logic classes, the national PBS logo and the Passport lockups included. `KidsArchitecture` places the PBS KIDS logo left, right, above or below the station logo at the architecture's sizes and clear space, with the optional phrase. On screen both always use the color digital-use PBS KIDS file; the white, reverse and black files they carry are the national print files with the registered mark, unlocked by `print` (standalone SKILL.md, 2026-10-23). That is how the components behave, not the station's rule for screens: Shane Burkeen decided on 2026-11-06 that the station-derived digital Reverse, White and Black files in `assets/channels/` (see Intentional Additions) stay in use on screen, Reverse on PBS Blue and White or Black for one-color use, as the PBS KIDS logo rules above say. Where a screen layout needs PBS KIDS in a colorway other than the primary, place the derived file by hand, as the `Channels` preview does with the Reverse on PBS Blue, rather than the component's `print` variant. The paired files in `assets/channels/kids-paired/` (Digital: no registered mark, for screen and broadcast; Print: CMYK, white, reverse and black with the registered mark) are prebuilt layouts of the architecture for tools that take one file; ship those rather than composing new pairs. Added 2026-11-06 from the standalone project's October 2026 work. **Passport.** "Nashville PBS Passport" on first reference, "Passport" after. Only the official lockups, supplied by PBS in the Nashville PBS Cobrand Logo Update (December 2023; digest in `assets/guides/_passport_cobrand_guide.txt`): `assets/channels/Passport_Horizontal_*.svg` and `Passport_Stacked_*.svg`, Navy with the Passport blue `#5680FF` mark on light surfaces, white on dark. `ChannelLogo channel="passport"` renders them. Passport blue belongs to the lockup alone and never appears elsewhere in the palette. When promoting Passport together with the PBS app, the Passport lockup sits beside the PBS logo (PBS App Marketing Guide, July 2024, page 9). Added 2026-11-06 from the standalone project's October 2026 work. **The PBS app.** Follow the PBS App Marketing Guide (July 2024; digest in `assets/guides/_pbs_app_guide.txt`). The national PBS logo (`assets/logos/PBS_Logo_Color_RGB.svg` on light surfaces, `PBS_Logo_White_RGB.svg` on dark) is the graphic for every app promotion; never the app-store icon in a layout, in a logo-and-copy lockup or embedded in text (the icon is only for app stores and placements dedicated to mobile and tablet promotion). The logo is always paired with an approved call to action so it reads as an app: the PBS logo big on top and the call to action beneath it at the logo's width, either GET THE FREE PBS APP, or WATCH NOW over WITH THE FREE PBS APP*; "STREAM ON THE PBS APP" is the guide's default call to action on promotional assets. Calls to action in all caps PBS Sans, leading with "the"; "app" lowercase in running copy, "App" in Title Case only in headlines and subject lines. Any "free" claim carries the fine print "*Local PBS station membership required to access some content" once per piece. "PBS Video App" naming and creative are retired. The Nashville PBS app is not launched: do not reference it. `AppPromo` builds the approved block; with `passport` the stack is STREAM NOW on top, the Nashville PBS Passport lockup, then the PBS logo, and no asterisk or fine print is needed. Added 2026-11-06 from the standalone project's October 2026 work. --- ## Color The palette is overwhelmingly **blue**. Every text/background combination must pass WCAG AA (pass/fail matrices in PBS Brand Style Guide v3, pp. 29–34). **Primary palette** - **PBS Blue `#2638C4`**: the signature color. Primary CTAs, links, prominent brand placement. - **White `#FFFFFF`**: primary canvas for content pages. **Secondary blues** (depth, dark surfaces, serious tones; not accents) - **Navy `#0A145A`**: headers, footers, covers, dark UI surfaces, text headings. - **Medium Blue `#0F1E8C`**: button hover states, gradient midpoint. - **Light Blue `#486CD8`**: reclassified in v3 from accent to secondary blue; focus rings, gradient start, UI depth elements. **Primary accents** (one at a time; fills and bars, not body text on white) - **Teal `#48D3CD`** · **Yellow `#FFCF00`** · **Coral `#FE704E`** - Interchangeable; use one per layout; more only when each has a distinct purpose. **Primary accent alts** (new in v3; when accents fail contrast or less vibrancy is needed) - **Sky `#8DDFFF`** · **Honey `#FFBD00`** · **Peach `#FFB699`** - Infrequent: text over solid blues, subtle backgrounds, alt text over footage. Never paired with secondary accents. **Secondary accents** (infographics and illustration only; never on-air, never replacing primary accents) - **Purple `#4E05AC`** · **Red `#D6383A`** · **Green `#087B45`** **Recommended neutrals** (official in v3; cool only, non-primary elements, never on-air) - Cloud `#F6F8FA` · Fog `#EEF0F5` · Slate `#5C6E85` · Deep Sea `#040C41` · Midnight `#000525` **UI neutral ramp** (`--neutral-*`): a cool-tinted gray scale added for interface use; not in the PBS brand book. Provides borders, surface variants, and body text colors. --- ## Typography A **single family**, PBS Sans, across the entire system. Self-hosted from the licensed `.woff2` files. Arial (Regular/Bold + italics) is the sanctioned fallback only where custom fonts are unavailable. **Scale.** Display sizes run from `fs-display-2xl` (5rem) down through `fs-display-xl`, `fs-display-lg`, `fs-h1`–`fs-h4`, `fs-body-lg`, `fs-body`, `fs-body-sm`, `fs-caption`, to `fs-overline` (0.6875rem with 0.08em letter-spacing). **Weight and tracking.** Display and headings: bold to black (700–800) with tight, slightly negative tracking (`ls-display: -0.02em`, `ls-heading: -0.01em`). Body: regular weight, 1.55 line-height, normal tracking. **Restricted styles.** Italic only for captions, quotes, and AP-style needs. Condensed (`PBS Sans Cond`) only for credits and fine print; neither style for primary messages. No gradient, emboss, shadow, or other text effects. **PBS KIDS Headline** (`--font-kids`, `--font-kids-cond`) is a second family with a single job: headlines on PBS KIDS-branded local materials (see Sub-brands and Channels). It never appears in station, channel or fundraising communication. --- ## Backgrounds and Surfaces Three surface registers define the visual hierarchy: 1. **White content pages**: clean, high-contrast body surfaces. 2. **Navy dark surfaces**: headers, footers, cover cards, membership bands. 3. **Full-bleed imagery**: always with a blue gradient or scrim overlay for legibility; never desaturated, rotated, flipped, or staged. The **geometric brand patterns** (Community, Insight) appear on section headers, membership bands, and cover cards, always under a blue overlay. One pattern per layout or project; the full rules are under Patterns. --- ## Gradients Gradients are diagonal, light source always in a **top corner**. Never build gradients from colors outside the prescribed stops. - **Primary** (`--gradient-primary`) Light Blue → PBS Blue → Medium Blue at 135°, for backgrounds and graphic-element fills. - **Primary overlay** (`--gradient-primary-overlay`) Same stops at **exactly 80% opacity**, over imagery and footage. Always 80%. - **Primary, top-right** (`--gradient-primary-tr`, `--gradient-primary-overlay-tr`) The same stops and the same 80% overlay at 225°, light source top-right: the on-air default (see Broadcast). These are the only two angles; the light source is a top corner, never a side or the bottom. Tokens added 2026-11-06 from the standalone project's October 2026 work. - **Secondary** (`--gradient-secondary`) Adds Sky at the start; full-bleed backgrounds **only**, never with imagery/footage or competing elements. - **Deep** (`--gradient-deep`) Medium Blue → Navy at 160°, for deep dark panels and covers. Curved elements on gradient backgrounds may use a hard Medium-Blue shadow (Multiply blend on gradient; Normal on Navy), never with imagery or Patterns. --- ## Imagery and Illustration **Selection.** Simple (clean, uncluttered compositions), immersive (the viewer is part of the moment) and unexpected (new angles, new perspectives). Brand imagery, for brand-forward pieces outside show promotion, finds new perspectives on familiar things; show imagery comes from the program. **Rules.** Keep all imagery in full color, even under a color overlay. Keep it full frame where possible. Do not rotate or vertically flip, do not alter colors or tones, do not convert to black and white, and avoid staged or posed shots. Overlays on imagery are the Primary Gradient at exactly 80% or the Navy overlay; body text never sits on an unfiltered photo. **Cleared photography** lives in `assets/photos/` (ten files: a leadership headshot, two Lower Broadway views, an aerial of a tri-star plaza, and six Nashville skyline and bridge views from Adobe Stock and Pexels), with source and crop notes in that group's README. Caption real people with their real name and title. **Illustration** is an alternative to photography for branded experiences, never on air. Use the licensed PBS illustrations whole and unmodified (source.pbs.org): anchored to the base of the layout, never free-floating, cropped, rotated, recolored, grayscaled, animated, given gradients or shadows, taken apart, redrawn, or combined with photography. --- ## Graphic Elements The official v3 Graphic Elements live in `components/graphic/`. Each has its own usage rules. - **Circle Crop**: a perfect circle bleeding off exactly 3 sides; holds text or imagery. The brand's signature shape. - **Curve**: bottom-left placement only, derived from the back of the P-head profiles. Never flipped, rotated, or stretched. - **Circle Highlight**: key text only (≤8 characters/line, ≤3 lines); one per layout, never combined with other elements, never gradient-filled. - **Large Circle Highlight**: centered, Primary Gradient at exactly 80%, cropped top and bottom; over wide imagery only. - **Symbol Crop**: official PBS artwork on PBS Blue (`assets/brand/`); layout ≥1.5:1, bleeds top/left/bottom. Never recolored or paired with imagery or gradients. - **Line & Highlight**: digital only (never print); white line at 20–30% opacity, 8–20px thick, spanning the layout; one Teal/Yellow/Coral/White highlight per use; on blue backgrounds only. --- ## Patterns Community (the circular form of the PBS logo, a crowd of people) and Insight (the P, B and S letters as a puzzle of shapes) are the two brand Patterns, in `assets/patterns/` as vector SVG (1920 grid for screens, 15 in grid for print) with the PNG rasters kept for tools that need them. `PatternPanel` renders them; the broadcast slates run Community as a left rail on Navy. **Color.** Only the approved blues, placed as shipped: PBS Blue `#2638C4`, Medium Blue `#0F1E8C`, Navy `#0A145A`. Never recolor. The print files carry shifted CMYK values for Medium Blue and Navy by design. **Scale.** Think in rows (horizontal layouts) and columns (vertical layouts): at least 3 and at most 6 in a given area, so the Pattern stays recognizable without turning busy. One row is acceptable only on stationery. Fill with whole rows and columns wherever the area allows; when it does not, choose one orientation, center the Pattern along the parallel sides and crop the other axis. Never stretch, squeeze, rotate, flip or mirror the Pattern, never leave thin slivers of shapes at the edges, and use one Pattern at one scale per layout or project. **Overlays and type.** An overlay of Navy or PBS Blue at 50% opacity or more lets elements read over the Pattern (`brand`, `deep` and `scrim` in `PatternPanel`); never a white or light overlay, and never so dark the Pattern disappears. Keep copy short (a few words), in PBS Sans Medium, Bold or Black, never Light or Regular, in brand colors with high contrast; pair with the white logo. Do not place large amounts of text over a Pattern or scale the Pattern small behind text. **With other elements.** Circle Highlights may sit on a Pattern, matched to the height of a row or column; Line & Highlight aligns to the middle of two columns. Prefer either a Circle Crop or a Pattern, rarely both. Never embed imagery or illustration in a Pattern area, and seek PBS brand approval (brand@pbs.org) before putting a Pattern on swag. --- ## Iconography PBS/Nashville PBS uses **simple, single-weight line icons** (~2px stroke, rounded joins) plus a few solid glyphs (play triangle). There is no bespoke icon font in the provided assets. This system uses **inline SVGs in the Lucide style** as a matched substitution: clean CDN-available icons matching the brand's stroke weight and rounded style. If Nashville PBS defines an official icon set, drop the SVGs into `assets/icons/` and reference them from there. The **P-head "everyman" mark** is the one true brand icon; it lives only inside the official logo lockups and must never be redrawn, recolored, rotated, or separated from the wordmark. --- ## Cards, Borders, Elevation, and Motion **Cards**: white surface, 1px cool border (`--border`), restrained cool-tinted shadow flat by default. Interactive cards lift 2px and deepen the shadow on hover. **Corner radii**: buttons are **fully pill-shaped** (`radius-button: 999px`). Cards and media use a quiet 8–12px radius. Full-bleed bands are square-cornered. **Borders**: 1px `--border` on surfaces; 1.5px on interactive controls (inputs, tags, secondary buttons). **Elevation**: minimal, navy-tinted shadow scale (`shadow-xs` → `shadow-xl`). The brand reads mostly flat. **Motion**: quick and subtle. 0.15–0.18s ease transitions on hover/focus (background, shadow, 2px lift, image scale 1.04 on media hover). No bounces, no long animations. **Hover states**: primary button → Medium Blue; secondary/ghost → faint blue tint; media → play overlay + slight zoom. **Press** deepens to Navy Blue. **Focus**: 3px Light Blue (`#486CD8`) ring for keyboard accessibility (WCAG AA). **Layout**: 1200px max content width, 24px gutters, sticky navy header. 4px-based spacing scale. --- ## Component Library All components are exported on `window.NashvillePBSDesignSystem_8fe663`. Sources are in `project/components/src/`; the compiled bundle is `project/components/bundle.js`, rebuilt from the sources with Babel preset-react (one classic script, a guarded block per component). **Type comes from the tokens.** Every text size in the components is a type-scale style, applied as `font: var(--text-fs-…)` (the shorthand the page compiles for each style), with weight, leading and tracking from the metric tokens (`--fw-*`, `--lh-*`, `--ls-*`) where the component tightens them. Change a style's size in the Type section and every preview follows; the same for a weight or line-height token. The UI sizes the components need that the national scale lacks are declared as styles (`fs-ui-lg`, `fs-ui`, `fs-ui-sm`, `fs-display-md`; see Intentional Additions). Only `NumberBadge` and `CircleHighlight` compute their size from their diameter. **Core**: Button, IconButton, Badge, Tag, Card **Forms**: Input, Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch **Brand**: Logo, PatternPanel, ChannelLogo, KidsArchitecture, AppPromo (the last three added 2026-11-06 from the standalone project's October 2026 work; they carry the channel, Passport, PBS and station artwork inside the bundle as `ChannelAssets` and `BrandAssets`) **Graphic**: CircleCrop, Curve, CircleHighlight, LargeCircleHighlight, SymbolCrop, LineHighlight, the official v3 Graphic Elements (usage rules in each component's `.prompt.md`) **Media**: ShowCard **Editorial**: CurvedPhotoMask, NumberBadge, PillarTimeline, PillarDivider, PullQuote, HighlightLabel, SectionBar, PageTab, RingAvatar, KeySidebar, the print primitives measured from the approved FY2024-26 Strategic Plan (see Print / Strategic Report below) **Brand artwork and the previews.** Logo, PatternPanel and SymbolCrop load their artwork from an `assetPath` folder (`assets/logos`, `assets/patterns`, `assets/brand`; the files are in this artifact's asset store, listed under Assets). The live previews in this page cannot fetch files, so they inline the same artwork as `data:` URIs and pass it through the documented escape hatches: `src` on Logo (it forwards every `` attribute) and `background` in `style` on PatternPanel and SymbolCrop (both merge `style` last). In your own page, copy the asset folders beside it and set `assetPath`; the previews' source shows both routes. Where a photo is called for (PillarDivider, CurvedPhotoMask, LargeCircleHighlight, RingAvatar, PullQuote, ShowCard, the Index hero) the previews use cleared photographs from `assets/photos/` (see Source Materials), inlined at preview size; ShowCard's other posters and the Index program art are brand patterns and generated tiles. Since 2026-09-17 every logo, pattern and channel mark in the previews is the vector file itself (the same bytes the asset store serves), so what a preview shows is what the system ships. The `Channels` preview (Brand group) is the reference sheet for the sub-channel lockups and the PBS KIDS architecture. `ChannelLogo`, `KidsArchitecture` and `AppPromo` carry their artwork inside the bundle (`components/src/components/brand/channelAssetData.jsx` and `brandAssetData.jsx`), so they take no `assetPath` and their previews call them directly. The `Slides`, `Document` and `Charts` previews are the reference sheets for the Presentations, Documents and Data Visualization registers; they are drawn from the slide, document and chart tokens, so a token change moves them. --- ## Presentations The slide register is for every deck the station shows or sends: board briefings, staff meetings, community presentations, pitch decks. The `Slides` sheet (Presentations group) shows the five slide types at their true 1920 by 1080 sizes; the PowerPoint and Google Slides templates in `assets/templates/` carry the same layouts. **Two backgrounds per deck.** White for content slides and one blue (Navy or Medium Blue, pick one and keep it) for the title, section starters and the closing slide. A section starter may also take the PBS Brand team's form: the section number as a giant PBS Blue numeral on the white half, the title white on the blue Curve, one word in Teal; it still uses only the deck's two colors. One section style per deck. No gradients, patterns or photography as slide backgrounds; a photo appears inside a Circle Crop or a rectangle with a quiet radius. The Circle Crop on a slide is the one the `CircleCrop` component draws: a perfect circle 1.7 times the slide height (1836px at 1920 by 1080), centered vertically, reaching about 55% across, so it bleeds off the top, one side and the bottom and only a shallow arc shows. Never a floating disc, and never a circle that bleeds off one side only (the title slide of the 2026-09-18 template did; corrected 2026-10-20). **Type.** The slide scale is the `slide-*` group in tokens.json: title 96px, section 80px, slide title 56px, subhead 40px, body 32px, caption 24px. Nothing on a slide is smaller than 24px; body copy is 32px and rarely more than five short lines. Titles in PBS Blue on white and white on blue; body black on white, white on blue. Title Case for slide titles, sentence case for everything else, left-aligned. **One idea per slide.** A title and at most five lines, or a title and one chart, or a title and one image. Generous whitespace is the design; do not fill it with icons, filler statistics or decoration. Emphasize one phrase per slide as bold Navy text on a Yellow marker block (the deck's one accent), never colored type on its own, never underlining, never shadows or animation effects. **Furniture.** Station logo at 72px top-left on the title slide, 48px bottom-left on content slides (color on white, white on blue); slide number bottom-right at 24px; source lines bottom-left at 24px. The closing slide is the vertical white lockup centered on the blue with the vision statement and wnpt.org (the station's website; never "nashvillepbs.org", and a title slide carries no web address). Content slides may carry a running section label in small caps before the slide number, bottom right, as PBS's own decks do. **Charts on slides** follow the Data Visualization register: white surface, one series in PBS Blue with the one bar the slide is about in Yellow, axis text at 24px or larger, values on the marks, the takeaway written beside the chart in the 40px subhead. **Transitions and motion.** None, or a plain cut. The brand reads flat and calm. **How PBS itself builds a deck** (Brand Evolution station webinar, August 2025, in `assets/guides/`): white content slides with a Navy title in the top-left, the PBS logo bottom-left and a small uppercase running footer bottom-right ("NEW GRADIENTS | 9"); section starters that put a giant PBS Blue numeral on the white left half against the Curve, with the section title white on the Primary Gradient at right and one word in Teal; a title slide on the Primary Gradient; photographs only as a strip or inside a Circle Crop. The station register above keeps the same bones and stays flat: solid Navy or Medium Blue where PBS uses the gradient, the Yellow marker where PBS colors a word Teal. --- ## Documents The document register covers letters, memos, reports, one-sheets, proposals and the strategic plan: anything set on a page. The `Document` sheet (Documents group) shows a cover, a body page and a data page on US Letter; the Word and Google Docs templates in `assets/templates/` carry the same styles and, since 2026-09-18, the approved strategic plan pages (cover, contents, letter, mission and values, key pillars, divider, strategies, measures, closing) as a nine-page sample. The printed strategic-plan primitives (Editorial components) are the report end of this register. **Page.** US Letter, 0.75 in margins (1 in on formal letters), single column for reading documents, two columns only in newsletters and one-sheets. A running header with the small color logo (22 px, about 0.25 in tall) on the left and the document title on the right; a footer with "Nashville PBS" on the left and the page number on the right, both 10pt, separated from the page by a hairline rule. **Type.** The document scale is the `doc-*` group in tokens.json, in points: title 28pt, H1 20pt, H2 15pt, H3 12pt, body 12pt on 1.5 leading, small 10pt for captions, table cells, footers and sources. Body copy is black, regular weight, left-aligned and never justified; 12pt is the floor for body copy in print. Headings are bold: H1 in PBS Blue (or on a section bar), H2 and H3 in Navy. Title Case for the title and H1, sentence case below. Arial stands in wherever PBS Sans is not installed. **Covers and dividers** are solid Navy or Medium Blue with white type and the white logo, one circular photo crop bleeding off the edge or none at all. Body pages are white. The strategic plan is the one document that uses PBS Blue for its cover and dividers, as the approved FY2024-26 plan did; see Print / Strategic Report Register for its measured layout. **Section furniture.** Major section headings ride a full-width solid Yellow (or Navy) bar, H1 in Navy on Yellow or white on Navy. Numbered strategies and callout labels are bold Navy text on a small Yellow block ("1.1 Staffing"). Pull quotes are italic on a Yellow banner with the name in bold small type. Callout boxes are Cloud with a PBS Blue left rule and a quiet radius. Pick one accent per document (Yellow here) and use it for all of these; Teal or Coral may take its place across a whole document, never mixed within one. **Tables.** Navy header row with white bold text, 10pt cells, Fog zebra rows, hairline rules, no vertical rules, numbers right-aligned with tabular figures, a numbered italic caption above or below with the source. **Figures** follow the Data Visualization register at 10pt labels or larger, always with a numbered italic caption and a source line. **Lists.** Bulleted lists use a plain round bullet in PBS Blue; numbered lists plain numerals. No decorative icons, drop shadows, text effects or clip art. Links in PBS Blue, not underlined in print. --- ## Data Visualization Charts, graphs and stat tiles carry the same restraint as the rest of the brand: the data is the only loud thing on the page. The `Charts` sheet (Data Visualization group) shows each form drawn from the `chart-*` tokens; the palettes below were checked for color-vision deficiency and contrast with the validator in the data-viz method, not by eye. **Pick the form first, color last.** Magnitude across categories: columns or bars. Change over time: a line. Parts of a whole: a stacked bar, or a donut with at most five segments. A single headline figure: a stat tile, not a chart. Two measures of different scale: two charts side by side, never a second y-axis. Never a 3D chart, an exploded pie, a gradient fill or a shadow. **Categorical series** take the fixed order PBS Blue, Coral, Green, Light Blue, Red (`chart-series-1` to `-5`), assigned by entity and never re-ordered when a series is filtered out. A sixth series folds into Other (Slate, `chart-other`) or the chart becomes small multiples. Green and Red are the PBS secondary accents, which the national guide reserves for infographics and illustration; a chart is exactly that. Coral sits below 3:1 on white, so a chart using it carries visible value labels or a table view. Scatter and bubble charts, where every pair of colors meets, use the first three slots only. **Single-series charts** are PBS Blue with the one mark the story is about in Yellow (`chart-highlight`): one highlight per chart. No legend for one series; the title names it. **Magnitude scales** run Sky, Light Blue, PBS Blue, Medium Blue, Navy (`chart-seq-1` to `-5`): one hue, light to dark, never a rainbow. **Diverging scales** run Coral to Fog to PBS Blue (`chart-div-*`) with the neutral midpoint. **Status** is Green, Honey, Red (`chart-status-*`), always with an icon or word, never color alone, and never mixed with categorical series in one chart. **Marks.** Bars and columns at most 24px thick with a 4px rounded data-end and a square baseline, growing from one baseline at zero. Lines 2px with round joins; points 8px or larger, ringed in 2px of the surface color. A 2px surface gap separates touching fills (stacked segments, neighboring bars); never a stroke. Gridlines and axes are hairline, solid, `chart-grid`, with no vertical gridlines behind bars. Area fills are the series color at about 10% opacity. **Text.** Labels, values, legends and axis text wear text colors (`chart-axis-text` for axes and legends, body ink for values), never the series color; the colored mark beside a label carries identity. Label selectively: the endpoint, the extreme or the series the story is about, not every point. A legend is present for two or more series; direct labels supplement it. Axis ticks are clean rounded numbers. Type is PBS Sans at 11px or larger on screen, 10pt in print, 24px on slides. **Surfaces.** Charts sit on white (or Cloud for stat tiles). On a Navy slide use a single series in Teal or Yellow with white labels; the brand's accents are too light to work as a series set on dark, so multi-series charts belong on white. **How PBS itself sets a data report** (Audience Insight 2024 and 2025 Annual Reports, PBS Business Intelligence; the 2025 edition is in `assets/guides/`): page titles in uppercase light PBS Blue over a hairline rule, uppercase Navy subheads, a numbered part label and page number in the footer ("Part 02 GENERAL AUDIENCE OVERVIEW"), headline figures in Navy stat circles beside two lines of bold text, key sentences in a Navy rounded callout with white text, sources as footnotes under every chart, and charts in PBS Blue with Coral, Teal and Yellow as the other series on white. Divider pages are a solid blue with a large uppercase title. The station register above is the same discipline with the station's validated palette; use these reports as the model for a Nashville PBS audience or impact report. **Interaction and access.** A chart on a web page or in an artifact ships a hover tooltip (crosshair on lines, per-mark on bars and dots), a table view of the same data, and an accessible name. A chart in a document or deck carries a numbered caption and its source. --- ## Broadcast / On-Air Guidelines The on-air register covers everything airing on the channel at 1920×1080. **Deliverable classes.** Endpages, Lower Thirds, Logo animations, Menus (Feature/Lineup), Promo Open, Series ID, Station ID, Station Messaging, Title Cards, Transitions. National masters are After Effects toolkits (1.0 flat + 3.1 dimensional) driven by the Essential Graphics panel. **Approved use.** PBS Sans only with preset type accent colors. Approved on-air palette only: blues plus one primary accent at a time; never secondary accents or neutrals on air. The station logo in the toolkits is the Nashville PBS lockup itself (the toolkit's "PBS/Station co-branded logo"), at equal scale with PBS, with all other affiliations removed, kept inside the no-fly zone and never distorted; there is no separate PBS plus station lockup and sub-channel marks do not appear in it. Never adjust gradients or pattern shapes. **Tune-in copy.** ALL CAPS, accent-colored. When using "TONIGHT," never include "pm." **Backgrounds.** Footage/stills take a Navy overlay. Without footage: full-screen PBS Blue, Medium Blue, the Primary Gradient (v3.1 adds the Curve + hard Medium-Blue shadow), or a brand Pattern. Nashville PBS slates use the Community pattern as a full field or a left rail on Navy. **Title Cards (v3.1).** The accent color highlights a run of words within the title (Highlight Start Index + Length in the toolkit; `titleHighlight` in our template). **Nashville PBS practice.** Station slates ("We now join…," technical/network difficulties) and donation **End Cards** (white circle-crop field over pattern, VISIT url + CALL OR TEXT number + QR) are the most-produced pieces; see `project/components/BroadcastSlates/` and `project/components/BroadcastEndpage/`. **Station rules (standalone project, October 2026).** The standalone Claude Design project carried these rules in its SKILL.md until 2026-10-23 (copy at `assets/notes/SKILL.from-standalone-2026-10-23.md`); they bind here too. Sources: PBS On-Air Toolkit Guide v3.1 and Toolkit 1.0 (`assets/Uploads/PBS_On-Air_Toolkit_Guide_v3.1_part_*.pdf`), the station's safe-area guide (`Safe_Areas (1).jpg` in `assets/Uploads/`) and station practice. Added here 2026-11-06. - **Frame and masters.** 16:9. Author at 1920 by 1080 and export at 2x for the 3840 by 2160 UHD master; never DCI 4K (4096 by 2160). HD is a clean 2:1 downscale of the master. Express type size, stroke weight, radius and padding as a percentage of frame height so a layout scales between UHD and HD. - **Safe areas.** Title-safe is the inner 80 percent (inset 10 percent per edge): every piece of text, every logo, QR code and other readable element stays inside it, no exceptions. Action-safe is the inner 90 percent (inset 5 percent per edge). Backgrounds and color bars may bleed to the edges (the lower-third bar runs full width); the text on them may not. Ignore 4:3 center-cut. Pixel reads: at 1920 by 1080, title-safe runs from (192, 108) to (1728, 972) and action-safe from (96, 54) to (1824, 1026); at 3840 by 2160, title-safe from (384, 216) to (3456, 1944) and action-safe from (192, 108) to (3648, 2052). Before export, turn on the On-Air template's `safeGuides` tweak and confirm nothing readable crosses the red title-safe box. - **Switchable backgrounds.** Every on-air layout switches between the Primary Gradient with the light source top-right (`--gradient-primary-tr`, 225 degrees), a brand Pattern, and solid Navy. Station practice: slates, support and notice cards sit on the Community pattern, as a full field or a left rail on Navy (the Backgrounds paragraph above and the `BroadcastSlates` preview); endpages, promos and title cards on the top-right gradient; lower thirds over footage. The October 2026 standalone template defaulted slates to the Insight pattern; Shane Burkeen kept the Community rail on 2026-11-06, so set the On-Air template's pattern tweak to Community before use. - **No Curve on broadcast.** Endpages and title cards sit directly on the background: no Curve shape and no hard shadows. Toolkit v3.1 offers both; the station rejected them. The Curve stays a print and digital element, bottom-left only. - **Lower third** (Toolkit 1.0 "Lower Third_Blue"): a full-width PBS Blue bar, 20 percent of the frame height, floating 6.5 percent above the bottom edge with footage visible below it; messaging at left with the lower lines in the accent color, the white co-branded logo at right, both inside title-safe. - **Type and color.** One primary accent (Teal, Yellow or Coral) or White per graphic; tune-in copy in ALL CAPS in the accent; minimum on-air type about 40 px at 1080 (3.7 percent of frame height): shorten the copy rather than shrink below it. The co-brand lockup at equal scale, never distorted. No secondary accents, no neutrals, no other fonts. --- ## Print / Strategic Report Register A distinct, bolder register used for printed reports and the strategic plan, not the flatter digital UI. It was measured on 2026-09-17 from the approved Nashville PBS Strategic Plan Overview FY2024-FY2026 (`assets/guides/NPT-Strategic-Plan-FY2024-2026_part*.pdf`), the station's own adaptation of the brand in print; the primitives are the **Editorial** component group and the Strategic Report canvas (Starters) is the page-for-page template. Measurements below are for a US Letter page at 96 dpi (816 by 1056 px); scale them for print. - **Cover**: solid PBS Blue (a tweak offers Navy or Medium Blue). A 5px Teal rule 58px from the top, from 66px to 53px short of the right edge. The title is white bold PBS Sans with open tracking (0.04em), the subtitle uppercase Yellow bold, the fiscal years white bold with 0.12em tracking. The white horizontal logo sits at right (about 32px tall) above the mission statement, white bold 13.5px behind a 4px Yellow left rule. The photo fills one large circle centered at 14.7% of the width and 111% of the height with a radius of 85% of the width, so it bleeds off the left, bottom and right, with a 5px Teal rim. (`CurvedPhotoMask` with `at="14.7% 111%"`.) - **Contents**: a full-width Yellow bar 70px tall, 107px from the top, "Table of Contents" in Navy bold 30px; entries in Navy medium 34px with PBS Blue circles 127px across carrying white page numbers. (`NumberBadge`.) - **Letter**: Navy bold heading at top left; a PBS Blue pull-quote card top right with a framed headshot and an attribution tag; body 14px on 1.5 leading indented to 122px; a full-bleed PBS Blue "KEY POINTS" panel with the label rotated and white bold bullets; "Continued" in PBS Blue at bottom right. (`PullQuote`, `KeySidebar`.) - **Mission, Vision and Values**: a Yellow tab bleeding off the top left edge, a Navy bold heading, Mission in a Navy circle and Vision in a PBS Blue circle (140px) with the statements bold and centered beneath, one phrase in PBS Blue; a Yellow "Values" bar that starts 58px in and bleeds off the right; the six values on a ring of Navy, Medium Blue and PBS Blue segments around the color logo, each described in a short callout underlined in Yellow. - **Key Pillars**: a solid PBS Blue page with the Yellow bar 38px from the top ("Key Pillars" in Navy bold 30px) and the pillars as a vertical timeline: Teal roman-numeral circles 44px across joined by a 4px Yellow line, names in white bold. (`PillarTimeline`.) - **Pillar divider**: PBS Blue header in the top 24.5% with a Teal numeral circle (128px) and the pillar title in white bold 52px; a 7px Teal rule; a white lead card in the next 25.5% that bleeds off the left edge and stops 7.5% short of the right, with a 4px Teal bar inside its left margin and the lead sentence bold italic running into the paragraph (16px on 1.5); the photo in the bottom half, cropped by one circle centered at 20.6% of the width and 112% of the band's height with a radius of 78% of the page width, so the blue field wraps its right side. No page number. (`PillarDivider`, which carries these proportions; `CurvedPhotoMask`.) - **Strategies**: a PBS Blue band 68px tall, 38px from the top, with a Teal numeral circle (48px) and the pillar name in white bold 26px; "Strategies" in PBS Blue bold 20px; each strategy as a Yellow highlight label in uppercase bold ("1.1 STAFFING") over a 13px paragraph, 40px between strategies; the page number in a PBS Blue half circle 72px wide rising from the bottom edge. (`HighlightLabel`, `NumberBadge`, `PageTab`.) - **Pull quotes and headshots**: italic white quote on a PBS Blue banner with a small square headshot in a Yellow frame and a Yellow attribution tag in Navy bold; ringed circular headshots for bylines. The approved plan used PBS Coral for the frame and tag; the components default to Yellow to stay inside the station palette and take `frame` and `tag` props for Coral. (`PullQuote`, `RingAvatar`.) - **Photo grids**: a closing page may stack overlapping photographs with 8px radii and thin Yellow, Teal or PBS Blue frames over a PBS Blue band. Body pages are white with Yellow labels and Teal rules; the accent set on this register is Teal plus Yellow, the two the brand book allows, with PBS Blue doing the heavy lifting. --- ## Source Materials - **PBS Brand Document Style Guide v3.0** (`assets/Uploads/PBS_Brand_Document_Style_Guide_v3_part_*.pdf`): the governing 119-page national spec: color, gradients, typography, imagery, illustration, Graphic Elements, Patterns. - **PBS On-Air Toolkit Guide v3.1** (`assets/Uploads/PBS_On-Air_Toolkit_Guide_v3.1_part_*.pdf`): national broadcast-graphics spec (After Effects Toolkits 1.0 + 3.1). - **Nashville PBS Messaging Guide v2** (`assets/guides/Messaging-Guide-v2.pdf`): positioning, key messages, tagline (since retired), tone (moving, welcoming, bright, local), headline starters, verbs and phrases.

Fills were restored to the official spec using explicit `fill` attributes: color logo = PBS Blue shield + wordmark with white profiles; white logo = white shield + wordmark with PBS Blue profiles. Originals are untouched in `assets/Uploads/`. **Confirm these match your master files.** 2. **PBS Sans** is self-hosted from the licensed `.woff2` files. Arial (Regular/Bold + italics) is the sanctioned fallback only where custom fonts are unavailable. 3. **UI-kit imagery**: program artwork in the website recreation (`Index`) is drawn on the fly in the brand blues (one quiet circle each) because previews may not fetch from the network; the earlier picsum.photos placeholders are gone. Swap `img()` in `components/Index/data.jsx` for real show images in production. 4. **Symbol Crop SVGs** also shipped with an empty ``. Fills restored per the mark: PBS Blue field, white shield circle, PBS Blue profiles, white eye. **Confirm against your masters.** 5. **Showcase pages compiled (2026-09-16).** The nine showcase pages (Brand, Badges, Buttons, Card2, Editorial, Forms, Graphic, Media, Index) used to load Babel from a CDN and compile their JSX at view time; they are now compiled at build time to plain `React.createElement` calls, so no preview depends on an outside script. The `.jsx` sources beside `Index` remain the editable originals. 6. **Preview repair (2026-09-16).** After the move every preview that referenced artwork by relative path (`../assets/logos/…`) showed a broken image, because the preview frame serves nothing by path. Artwork is now inlined (see Component Library). The `Index` website recreation loaded its six `.jsx` files by `
