Creative Guidelines

9 Masterbrand Logo Two color masterbrand logo preferred for majority of applications.

10 Masterbrand Primary Logo Color Options Our logo color usage must remain consistent throughout all of our communications. There is a logo variation for every possible communication outlet. Web and Print colors each have a distinct logo file due to differing color theories. (CMYK & RGB).

Masterbrand Secondary Logos / Single Color There are situations where the Full Color and B&W logos will not correctly display on certain backgrounds. Here are a few secondary logos that may be useful in certain applications.

FULL COLOR GRAY ONE COLOR

CRIMSON LOGO REVERSE WHITE C66 M20 Y100 K0 C66 M20 Y100 K0 C45 M14 Y0 K0

B&W SOLID RED BLACK

11 Masterbrand Logo Minimum Edge Spacing The Master logo should always have breathing room around the edges:To illustrate this point just remember that one proportional width of the ‘2’ character should always be able to fit around the outer most edges, no matter what the logo size is.

34 TypographySince the Meta font is used for Branding of our logo, and Helvetica use is in over-abundance, there is a third typeface that has been introduced throughout this guide by the name of Univers. The number after the name refers to the line weight or thickness of the letter forms.

36 Typography UsageAlways use condensed fonts when space is limited. These fonts can also be used to imply gravity and motion when used on a larger scale.

PhotographyAlways use simple but engaging high resolution photography. We have a broad selection of imagery to choose from. High quality aerial photos, life-style shots, or custom photo shoots, we will find the imagery that conveys the right message. Our new library is resides within our Sharepoint located at Companyweb > Shared Documents > Marketing > Stock Photography.

38 Photography Dos

✓ USE PHOTOS THAT IMPLY DEPTH OF FIELD WITHIN THE COMPOSITION

✓ USE PHOTOS THAT CONTAIN PLENTY OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACE

39 Photography Do NotsWhen choosing the right photo we are looking for an ownable style that fits into our brand message. Photographs can be used to create visual metaphors and help us tell our story. Look for photos that are warm, inviting, and even sentimental. Here are a few examples of imagery that we do not want to be associated with.

X DO NOT USE POSED MODELS X DO NOT USE CLICHÉD IMAGERY NO COLD POORLY LIT IMAGERY

X DO NOT USE UNINSPIRED IMAGERY USE A LIFESTYLE PHOTO INSTEAD

40 Photography Do NotsWe now have accounts with some of the best stock photography libraries in the world. When in need of specialized imagery, please browse the photos on www.123rf.com, www.istockphoto.com, or www.gettyimages.com. For approval, send the photo SKU number to [email protected].

X DO NOT USE PIXELATED WEB IMAGES X DO NOT USE BLURRY IMAGESX DO NOT USE ANY CLIP ART NOT AN OWNABLE STYLE

One of the most overlooked details about photography is the use of negative

space. This is the area of a photo that has no action and is calming to eye. When choosing imagery, carefully

examine the composition and pay attention to the direction of your eye movement. The right photo choice will engage the viewer and allow their eyes to

move around the composition eventually resting the eye at a focal point that we choose.

Some rules are meant to be broken. The use of type with a perspective shift is anti-traditional.

While we have stretched our type, the masterbrand logo remains consistent to our brand guidelines, and

the composition resonates due to the strong imagery.

Brand ConstructionOn the next few compositions, the choice of color and branding is dic-tated by our imagery. While we could have used more color and typefaces this would take away from the overall elegance and feel of the page. When designing for advertising, Less is More.

Type Over ImageVisual Storytelling is the most powerful way to engage our customers. Paint the picture you want them to see using simple type and strong imagery. Good photography helps evoke emotion. This emotional connection is what will distinguish us from our competitors and will help create brand loyalty. In this photo, a split second decision could mean life or death for a firefighter, that is why our software is the fastest, most intuitive, and easiest to use.

YOUR DATA.

OUR SOLUTION.

This visual metaphor says many different things. Navigating hazardous terrain with large amounts of data requires a specialized type of expertise. 2d3 Sensing is the leader in comput-er vision and motion imagery. Taking huge amounts of video, imagery, and geodata, making it searchable, and instantly accessible.

GraphicResonanceWhen designing with type and image, the end goal is to achieve some sort of interaction between the different ele-ments on the page to evoke emotion in our viewer. This inter-action is a problem solving exercise, where you should ask yourself what is it that you want the viewer to experience? A successful design can always be seen as having Graphic Resonance. Just as in composing a piece of classical music where the final piece comes together and resonates with the audience, our marketing must resonate each and every time that it is viewed by our customers.
