apollo BASIC ELEMENTS
Logo Tagline Colour Typeface Graphic Element
Our brand identity – both written and visual – is rooted in the consistent use of our basic elements. These different elements can be used to create a consistent, vibrant brand identity that viewed over time, enables Brand Apollo to create high recall, leaving a positive impression on the audience through all media, in both internal and external communication. Each of the basic elements, logo, colour, typeface and graphic elements have a few guidelines which need to be adhered to. These may vary to suit the audience, message or purpose. For any query, contact our brand communications team.
LOGO
Our logo is the key building block of our identity, the primary visual element that identifies us. The logo is a specially designed logotype that unambiguously states the company name: APOLLO in Apollo Purple C80M100. The proportions of the logo are fixed and should not be distorted in any manner.
LOGO Positive usage

The logo works on most light backgrounds. Logo colour: C80M100 1 colour logo - positive This version of the logo is to be used for 1 colour requirements where printing in 4 colours or more is a constraint. Logo colour: K100

LOGO Minimum Clearance Area
x unit
x unit
It is important to keep the logo clear of any other graphic elements. To regulate this, an exclusion zone – Minimum Clearance Area, has been established around the logo. This clearance area indicates the closest any other graphic element or message can be positioned in relation to the logo. The clear space uses the width of the O of the logo as the unit.
x unit = height of ‘O’
APOLlo CIRCLES Increase in size of the inside circles to denote movement and growth
Apollo Circles - positive
Apollo Circles Apollo Circles are a part of Apollo’s visual elements but not a logo. The four circles represents the brand ethos of tyres in movement, embodying the dynamism and growth the organisation brings to each customer. Apollo Circles are to be always used along with the tagline and not in isolation (illustrated in the next page) in all customer-facing communication items, except for certain kinds of merchandise where it may be difficult to reproduce.
