ABOUT THIS GUIDE Our goal is to make sure the MySmile is a brand people can trust. Trust comes from our clients, partners and employees experiencing a consistent brand visually and in tone of voice, and when our actions and behaviours are true to the company’s values. This guide is designed to help you communicate the MySmile brand in a way that meets people’s expectations in the most effective way possible. The book includes guidelines on how to design, write and apply the brand across multiple uses and marketing materials.

GRID CONSTRUCTION To build a best visual brand and to reflect the smile, we had to shape the logo typeface on the smile structure.

LOGO SHAPING The logo mark is built on a grid system, with construction on lines and circles to insure a powerful visual balance and visual stability. The logo grid is a geometric design technique that creates a consistant base structure that can adapt to all applications.

CORRECT USAGE BASED ON BACKGROUND COLOR Black or white backgrounds • Always use the primary masterbrand on black or white backgrounds • Should you need to place the brandmark on an image, the brandmark is best positioned on an area that is either black or white • When communicating the MySmile to external audiences, the following guidelines apply to the choice of primary, secondary or greyscale versions of the masterbrand.
Coloured backgrounds • When placed on coloured backgrounds or subtle imagery, please use the following rules: • Aim to choose one of the colourways that ensures maximum contrast against the background. This is to allow the brandmark to stand out • When the background is too busy or when the background compromises the legibility of the brandmark, resort to the full white version • Do not, at any point, box the masterbrand in a black or white rectangle. See 2.3 Incorrect Usage. • The colours on the right represent best practice examples of masterbrand usage against different background colours.

INCORRECT USAGE / COLOR, COMPONENTS These examples show how not to use the brand mark against colour backgrouds. Stand out and clarity is key to any application. The brand mark colours should stay as per the guidelines and should not be changed. Opacities or part opactities should never be applied to the brand mark.

BRAND SUPPORT ELEMENTS To support the brand›s identity and provide fleibilty in how the brand lives, we have developed two additional brand elements which can be used in specific circumstances.

BRAND SHAPES The use of the brand’s second graphical element should also conform to a ‘loose’ hierarchy depending on the purpose and medium of the communications. This is to create distinction and avoid over-use. This brand element is best reserved for smaller to medium format spaces which may be clear spaces or carry imagery, e.g. brochure covers and simple banners. Messaging or branding would also sit on a ‹flat colour›, e.g. white without imagery, Whether full-colour or greyscale, it should always sit in a prominent position in the layout and give a clear sense of movement and progress. Care should be taken not to over use the brand shape and ensure enough space to carry messaging and branding. We recommend its use ONLY when imagery and copy or messaging is at an absolute minimum to maintain clarity and simplicity.
