I'm thinking of incorporating a Green Line or border for OEM staff to signify all access and a yellow one for EOC Facility ID. Since they are close would want to be able to ID immediately.

OPT 1

Could I see this option in the Freedom Trail Red color?
The front of the card would state City of Boston in the first line, Emergency Operations Center second line; Facility Identification third line
Below the picture: JOHN SMITH Emergency Management ID#: EOC-190401
for the Back, I'm fine with it being a white background and using the symbol from OPT 2 with the red line
Above the symbol would we say: "Issued by: City of Boston Mayor's Office of Emergency Management
Below the symbol is going to read: "If found, return to: Boston City Hall One City Hall Square Human Resources Boston, MA 02201

OPT 2

same changes as OPT 1 in terms of changing the color to Freedom Trail Red color, and changes in the text

Could you also try a OPT 1 idea that doesn't have a picture field, but instead a city department logo (we can pick the Parks Department as an example). Was thinking the color scheme could be Optimistic Blue. (FYI for the non-COB agencies I was going to assign them Charles River Blue).

Lastly, the latest version I was working on had an image of the EOC seal (attached). Do you think it is possible to add this to the front? I'm guessing it will be too crowded for either version... Maybe as a watermark? Could be too fussy/busy as well.

Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks again for all your help. I think we are almost there!

We like OPT 1 with the color band on top, but was wondering if we could make the photo image slightly larger and move the employee name and information further down the ID For OPT 1, would it be possible to also include the CoB logo/seal? Might be too crammed... Maybe as a watermark? For the back, could we use the following OEM logo? Not sure where this came from (not on the iconography Google Drive) but Chief Benford prefers this one.

As for the templates themselves, we are looking for three versions using the city's three colors. Most likely, the Freedom Trail Red Version is the only one with a picture and employee ID listed, as the others are going to be assigned by city department or external organization and we would just be using their logo. The version we need to be able to print on our printer has to fit into some weird managers (as seen in the last Word document template I sent over).

I just heard from the card printer company about specifications. We can adjust colors based on how they print, but might as well try to see what our color palette looks like.

The templates can be put into a 300 dpi jpg file that I could use for the card design creation, the issue is that the colors and fonts they use may not print out the way they like. You are not printing using a paper printer, when you print on a card you are using a ribbon with the 3 main colors, magenta, cyan and yellow. It is not always what you see on the screen for colors is not what you see when the card is printed.

The best way would be to put each graphic in separate jpg files that I can use to build the card design. The size of the cards is 2.13 x 3.38 inches.
