Many custom artwork files have been developed for ERA: These files follow a specific naming convention so you may quickly understand the contents of each file and locate them easily. Each part of the file name is an abbreviated form of information about the file. All file names consist of lowercase letters except for the perfix (ERA), and use underscores to separate inormation.

The artworks are provided in separate folders, in order to avoid any misunderstanding. We have developed two versions of the brand: the first using only the logo, the second using the entire composition. Artworks in the folder “professional_print” are developed in Spot color (Pantone matching system). Artworks in the folder “inHouse_printing” use the CMYK 4 color-scale. Artwork in the folder

“electronic_usage” use the RGB color-scale. The .eps format is available for any platform (Mac, PC, Linux etc). The files are available over the internet, in the reserved area of the Era website: www.erarental.org For any question about files and their usage, please contact: info@alias2k.com

1.15 BRANDMARK COLOR USAGE AND BACKGROUND CONTROL

BRAND IDENTITY GUIDELINES

1. IDENTITY

Tavola nº 19

Background colors and graphics can easily enpower or compete with brandmarks. The white “sort-of-label” background that is part of the brand has been built to mantain separation between the ERA brandmark and the backgrounds where it will appear. This white outline will not appear when the brandmark is staged on a white background.

The ERA color palette is comprised of colors used in the ERA barndmark. In addition shades of blue and complementary colo (such as orange and yellow) are allowed. On this page you will find specifications for a first choice of color.s.

Tavola nº 21

One typeface (with multiple possibilities, because rich of variants), have been chosen for the era brand identity: helvetica neue. It has to be used in all printed communications. This typeface, designed by Max Miedinger has become one of the most famous and popular typefaces in the world. The helvetica neue sets new standards in terms of its form and number of variants. It

is the quintessential sans serif font, timeless and neutral, and can be used for all types of communication. When helvetica neue is unavailable (for example for web standards or on screen presentations), the arial font is an accettable substitute (even if it has no variants, but only regulars typefaces).

BRAND IDENTITY GUIDELINES

Tavola nº 24

When developing layouts for print applications, follow the grid proportions shown below (a master inDesign file is provided with this guide). These grides will help you placing copy and imagery in a consistent manner Other formats may require the alteration of existing grids or creation of new grids as well

In this sample we’ve developed a twelve column-grid: 12 basic columns with inter columnar spaces of 5 mm. Margins are in round millimeters: 2, 7, 2, 2, 3 (inside, top, right, bottom). we can group three columns to make a four maxi-colum layout, otherwise we could group four columns and obtain a 3 maxi-column layout.

Release capital for your business: Rental allows you to minimize the size of your equipment fleet, improve your cost controls, lower your maintenance costs and reduce your transport fleet; The right product, when you need it: Rental companies can provide you with the most comprehensive range of state-of-the-art equipment, just when you need it. Average fleet age in Europe is only 3.8 years. Professional suppliers, ready to help: Rental companies will offer the service that suits your needs. You can decide to rent for the short, medium or long term and the equipment will be delivered where you need it. Rental staff are well trained and will provide expert advice whenever needed.

Be safe, just rent and avoid the risk: Rental companies operate well maintained equipment that comply with all applicable regulations. Safety checks are performed before each delivery. So don’t run any risk using obsolete equipment, just rent.

We work towards removing barriers that impede the free access to construction equipment rental services across borders; We participate in the development of European standards and recommendations to optimize health and safety levels for our industry’s employees and customers; We cooperate with authorities and the construction industry at European level to combat equipment theft;

How cost effective is rental?

There are no two identical situations. The European Rental Association has therefore developed a “Rent vs Buy” calculator to allow any company / individual to see whether for their specific situation it makes more sense to rent or buy construction equipment.

Why don’t you check for yourself? Our calculator is available in seven different language versions at www.erarental.org and its use is free of charge
