11 Brand Logo The Form-Scaff brand logo is a visual statement of our vision, values, strength and integrity. By following this guide, you help define Form Scaff for our customers, partners, and employees. Equally important, you help them recognise, differentiate, and remember the Form-Scaff brand. It is an extremely valuable asset and this corporate identity guide (CI) has been produced to help people who use the brand to understand how it must be correctly, and consistently applied. It offers a framework for making and evaluating creative decisions. If you have questions about how to use any brand elements, or need additional information contact admin@quartermaster.co.za Proportions The logo must strictly adhere to the following proportions: Height = Width = You can download the logo in a variety of formats from downloads/formscaff.html 1

18 Brand Slogan Our brand slogan defines what we do - Scaffolding & Formwork Solutions Example 1 Brand Logo It is used in conjunction with the brand logo to reinforce this association with customer through communication elements such as advertising, marketing collateral, digital and stationery. Formwork & Scaffolding Solutions Brand Slogan (Universe LT Std 55 Roman) When used together, a fixed relationship must be maintained to ensure that the brand positioning line does not detract from the Brand Logo. This is displayed. The brand positioning line should be set in Universe LT Std 55 Roman. (Example 1) Example 2 However the Brand Slogan may be positioned separately within the same element of communication. (Example 2) Formwork & Scaffolding Solutions Brand Slogan (Universe LT Std 55 Roman) The Brand Slogan is not used with product brand logos. 8

19 Colour Palette The corporate colours are taken from the Primary Colours internationally used Pantone colour matching system for lithographic printing inks and these must always be used as the standard. In the four colour printing process (CMYK), it is not possible to achieve an exact match to the Pantone Red Pantone 186C C2 M100 Y82 K6 R218 G26 B53 Hex #DA1935 Black C0 M0 Y0 K100 R0 G0 B0 Hex # inks. The CMYK colour swatches shown are the closest possible match achievable. We recommend that the coated Pantone reference be used when printing special / spot colours. Coated and uncoated paper stocks will also give varied colour results, therefore we recommend the coated Pantone reference when printing on coated and uncoated paper stocks. Secondary Colours Please note that the 4 Process colour / CMYK breakdown will also vary when printed on coated and uncoated paper stocks. In digital media, the standards for RGB (PC Dark Grey Grey Light Grey usage) and web-safe (Hexadecimal) colours shown on this page must be followed.

20 Corporate Typefaces Haettenschweiler ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Univers 45 Light ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Univers 55 Roman ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Univers 65 Bold ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Univers 75 Black ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Arial Regular ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Arial Bold ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz In addition to the consistent application of visual elements, the CI requires the consistent use of typefaces (also known as fonts).typography creates an important visual distinction and allows us to be recognised at a glance. Form-Scaff has chosen three defined typefaces. Haettenschweiller is the font used for the corporate and product logos. Univers is the primary external typeface to be used when professional design studios are commissioned. Due to its universal appeal and ease of use across all platforms, all typographic details relating to stationery, signage, promotional and advertising must utilise this font (please see relevant sections of this manual for specifics). The Microsoft typeface shown (Arial) is available as a system font on all computers and should be used for all word processor generated documents as well as in the production of all PowerPoint presentations. The Arial range of typefaces should also be used on Internet and Intranet pages. These typefaces are available in a variety of weights providing flexibility for all print and online communications. 10

21 Using the Logo in External Brand Partnerships Endorsed branding where Form-Scaff is the main sponsor The Form-Scaff logo should be dominant with other logos not exceeding 60% of the area of the Form-Scaff logo. Endorsed branding where Form-Scaff is not the main sponsor The Form-Scaff logo should be no less than 60% of the area of the largest aspect of the partnering logo. Should Form-Scaff become involved in a joint venture such as an event, sponsorship or alliance, we must always strive to be the dominant party. The co-branding of such ventures will generally be subject to mutual agreement. Ideally, the Form-Scaff logo should be dominant with other logos not exceeding 60% of the area of the Form-Scaff logo. The main Form- Scaff brand logo should be used rather than the horizontal application where possible. In co-branding scenarios where Form-Scaff will not be the dominant partner (eg. the Comrades Marathon) the Form-Scaff logo should be no less than 60% of the area of the largest aspect of the partnering logo. Equal partner sponsorship 11

22 Product Logos When creating a product logo, the Form-Scaff corporate typeface Haettenschweiler is used, and the product name is always depicted in lower case. Form-Scaff s product logos are an integral part of communicating the brand, and should always be depicted in line with this guide. columns kwik-stage The spacing between the FS icon and the start of the lettering should be the same as that of the Form-Scaff logo. The ascender, or top point of the tallest letter must align to the top line of the FS icon. The base line of the text is always aligned to the base line of the FS icon. Any descender in the text (for example on the lower case letter g ) extends below this line. The same exclusion area as defined for the Form-Scaff logo is applied to product logos. = Exclusion Area (50%) 12

23 Product Logos - Single Colour Application x y When the product logo is used in a single colour application (white out of red or black), the defined spacing must be adhered to. y x y x y y The FS icon appears in a block, with the spacing around the icon equal in height and width to the measurement Y. Y is defined by the area from the top of the F to the base of the top line of S of the FS icon. The gap between the block containing the FS icon and the block containing the product name is defined by X. X is measured from the space between the base of the FS lettering and the baseline of the bounding box. y x y y kwik-stage The product name appears within a red block with the spacing around the lettering equal in height and width to the measurement Y and / or as per the construction of the Form-Scaff logo. This dictates that the ascender, or top point of the tallest letter is aligned to the top line of the FS icon, and the base line of the lettering is always aligned to the base line of the FS icon. Any descender in the text (for example on the lower case letter g ) extends below this line and into the area defined by Y. When used alone, the area Y defines the space between the end of the product name and the end of the red block. 13

24 «Print» Application of the Brand Identity Section 2

25 Applying the Brand Identity This section of the manual details how the corporate identity guidelines are put into practice through the main visual elements of the company. It is designed to help us present a strong, consistent visual image to the various stakeholders that we interact with. The ultimate success of the correct execution of our corporate identity rests with you, so please study the standards carefully and apply them rigorously. Whenever we use our brand logo and elements of our corporate identity, we must ensure that we, and the suppliers we select, do not allow our logo to be misused or distorted. Each of us is tasked with this responsibility. 15
