WHO IS MOULTON MUSEUM

The museum actively archives, restores, and preserves Orange County historical artifacts. This includes farm implements and buggies to documents, artwork, and images of the period. The Moulton Family Foundation is committed to sharing its collection with the public. Expanding the collective understanding of the ranching era and its lasting impact on the economic, social, architectural, and cultural fabric of Orange County is at the core of the Moulton Museum’s mission.

MOULTON MUSEUM MISSION

MOULTON MUSEUM VISION

We operate to inform and include new narratives in local Orange County history. We seek strategic partners to increase our capacity.

Logo

The Moulton Company signature, “lock-up,” consists of “The Moulton Company” logotype, and “M Horns” icon. In some scenarios, The Moulton Company’s tagline, “Protect, Diversify and Grow Moulton Family Assets,” may also appear in the logo lock-up.

The Primary Logo should be used at all times when able.
It must always be straight and never tilted.

The signature should be allowed a clean and visual separation from all other elements. Twenty percent (20%) of the height of the The Moulton Company logotype serves as a measurement for minimum clearspace around the entire signature. This space indicated for the signature, should be flat in color (preferably black when signature is fullcolor, as shown here) and unpatterned, clear of type or any other elements. With or without tagline the same black space should apply.

Typography

As brand The Moulton Company is aware of the need for global consistency in copy in both internal and external publications. There is a defined hierachy and usage of typefaces.

It is preferred that the chosen PMS, or “spot” color versions are used to achieve these primary hues. CMYK process mixes may also be substituted for various printing processes. For best results, always match your colors, for files to be printed traditionally, to PMS and/or CMYK color equivalents. For web and other multimedia applications, please refer to the RGB specifications.

Photography

Never black and white. If there is a limited pallet it is in sepia. Reminding the veiwer of another time with soft or saturated colors. Always using a filter, unless it is a picture of artwork. Always let the art speak for itself.
