French term or phrase: cahier descriptif de l'identité
This is about an event that will focus on a new "identité de quartier"... C'est du jargon de communication... I could use some inspiration here?
"Élaboration d'une identité fédératrice pour le Quartier des spectacles, ancrée sur la rue Sainte-Catherine et déclinable de multiples façons, dont la signalétique et le plan lumière.
Production d'un ***cahier descriptif de l’ identité***, d'un cahier des normes de l identité visuelle, et d'un cahier d'identité territoriale.

Clarification request(s) and response
Sophieanne: 12:17am Feb 14, 2007: pour l'instant j'ai "identity-defining sheet"...?
Sophieanne: 12:17am Feb 14, 2007: I used sheet as in "cahier des charges"...
Sophieanne: 1:03am Feb 15, 2007: J'aime bien "statement"...

identity outline (sheet)/ identity statement
Explanation:
I would say... since you prefer to use the word "sheet" in this context. Otherwise, I would have translated it as just "identity statement"

Good luck!

local character charter

Explanation:
It depends to an extent, Sophieanne, on how you are translating the other 2 deliverables.

The 3 appear to be a set, so I would try to stick with similar terminology...3 charters, 3 guidelines, whatever....
