Wordmark – principle



Our wordmark is our most valuable asset.
Give it pride of place and present it with
clarity and consistency.
How we achieve this


Clarity
Ensure pride of place and maximum visibility through size, position, space and background


Consistency
Use the fewest possible variations for each application and across different applications

Brand promise – principle



Our brand promise is “sense and simplicity”.
Use it consistently and do not provide a substitute,
even when it is not used.
How we achieve this


Consistently
• Use the brand promise on our above-the-line communications and other high awareness application areas
• Apply it in a fixed configuration with our wordmark
• Never use an alternative, even when there is no brand promise

                  Short headlines, sentences and paragraphs
                  Short sentences help the reader to understand your meaning. One thought per
                  sentence is enough.


                  Use paragraphs to build your point. A paragraph should comprise a number of
                  linked thoughts that add up to a bigger idea, just like this.


                  Avoid sounding repetitious. Occasional use of bullet points, sub-headers and
                  diagrams adds variety and maintains the reader’s interest. But too many can be
                  stifling.

Typography – principle



Our typography is inviting and highly legible
and has enduring style.

How we achieve this


Inviting
• Our typography has a balanced, clear structure that is accessible
• Use short paragraphs and large headings to add clarity


Highly legible
• Make sure our typography is easy to read
• Be straightforward, respecting the reading experience


Enduring style
• Ensure our typography is subtle, not overpowering
• Ensure it is timeless, not trendy




                                                                      The principles Brand identity guide, March 2008   38
