Introduction The Zafco brand represents integrity, solidity and trust based on a set of core values that endear us to our customers. Therefore it is absolutely essential that the Zafco identity be presented in a consistent manner across all communication channels in order to preserve and enhance the brand image. With this in mind, we have created a set of core guidelines that sets the platform for a strong communication programme and ensures all parts of the brand present themselves instantly and recognizably as Zafco. The purpose of these guidelines is to see that the integrity and consistency of the brand identity is maintained across all elements, at all times. The standards contained within this document show how to apply the guidelines within a design framework for print, display, multimedia and corporate communication requirements. They also provide information for the most commonly used materials, but cannot cover every eventuality. These guidelines have been designed to address the majority of applications to which the Zafco brand identity is applied and have been made as flexible and adaptable as possible. As such, they should be followed diligently at all times.
In the event of there being any doubt about how the brand identity should be reproduced in a particular application, please contact the brand custodians at Zafco. If possible, email or fax an example of the design you are considering and they will supply you with the advice you need. It is in your interests to gain brand custodian’s approval. Should any material appear that conflicts with these Brand Identity Guidelines, you may be required to destroy the material concerned and reproduce it again in the correct manner.

Zafco Way of Life Core Principles and Beliefs a)
Do the right thing in life, no matter what.
b)
Change always leads to a better outcome, whether in business or life. Change is difficult at first, messy in the middle, but beautiful in the end.
c)
Decision-making is a process that pays no heed to caste, race, colour or culture.
d)
Patience has a very special significance. Be patient about people’s performance, and patient about the unexpected future that lies ahead.
e)
Life is not always about first impressions; we should always like a person unconditionally at the first meeting, and if later, this person in some way disappoints us, our decision should be based on logic rather than sentiment.
f)
Never judge other people, especially when they are under pressure or stressed. Judging others is the worst thing we can do to another human being, as we can also be judged so easily.
g)
Success should be measured by efforts and not the result.
h)
It is intention and hard work that truly counts and results are just the outcome that often depend as much on chance as anything else.
i)
The best people are those that work the hardest to achieve.
j)
Develop the ability to forgive. As human beings, we are inherently weak. We make many mistakes as we travel through life, and need forgiveness from each other, from ourselves, and most importantly, from God.
k)
Express gratitude in every aspect of your behavior. It is our actions that truly reflect our gratitude, not our mere utterance of words.
l)
Responsibility and freedom are not mutually exclusive. If you seek freedom, any action that you take is of your own doing. Freedom IS responsibility.
m)
Be flexible in your ability shift perspectives.
Zafco Way of Life Core Values Dealing with our Suppliers, Vendors and Service Providers: a)
We will pay all our suppliers on time. Meeting our commitments to people is more valuable than making a fortune.
b)
We will notify our suppliers of any errors or omissions immediately, whether it is in our favor or not. We will conduct business with dignity and honesty and the only way we can differentiate ourselves from those who do not is by upholding our values.
c)
Regardless of any disputes over financial claims with our suppliers, we will keep our commitments. We should pay our payables in time and then seek any claims or settlements in due course.
d)
Once we commit, we will fulfill our contracts and pay them in time .There will be no exceptions. Our word is our bond and if people cannot trust our words, we are not worth anything.
e)
Professionalism, honesty, humility, and respect should always be practiced in dealing with our suppliers through verbal or written communications, especially in the case of disputes and misunderstanding. Our communication should refrain from any unethical or immoral language. We protest professionally, settle our commitments, and walk away.
f)
Anybody visiting us should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity, no matter how we were treated by them in the past. We should be gentle and hospitable to them and we should not depart from our values, not even in the treatment of our enemies.
Zafco Way of Life Core Values Dealing with our Customers: a)
Our customers are our lifelines. Their business brings our bread and butter. Never take them for granted or feel they depend on us, and show gratitude for being chosen as their vendors.
b)
Professionalism, humility and respect should always be practiced in dealing with our customers through verbal or written communications, especially in the case of disputes and misunderstanding. Our communication should refrain from any unethical or immoral language. We protest professionally, settle our commitments and walk away.
c)
A customer should be treated with respect and politeness at all times, regardless of how aggressive or unreasonable he might appear. We will conduct business with dignity and honesty and the only way we can differentiate ourselves from those who do not is by upholding our values.
d)
When we promise, we make sure we deliver. There will be no exceptions. Our word is our bond and if people cannot trust our words, we are not worth anything.
e)
Giving back what is due to our customers is to be practiced under any circumstances, whether it was communicated to them or not. If it does not belong to us, we give it back. It should not be used to any of our advantage and such proceeding should not be treated as our profit.
f)
Claims against warranties should be adjusted as per the SLA promised to customers unconditionally, even if the claimer is no longer our customer.
Zafco Way of Life Core Values Dealing with our own People and Teams:
a)
When somebody agrees to work for us, they are not just associating their trust with us but also their future. Let us treat them the way we want to be treated.
b)
If our DR fails, we should take it as our failure irrespective of what the organization thinks about it. We will take ownership of our teams and people.
c)
Trusting our own people is what makes us a team. In case of a disagreement, let us give our people the benefit of the doubt. We should not subject or treat them based on rumors, but concrete facts only.
d)
Our employees and our team are our responsibilities. In case of their genuine demand or circumstances, let us fight for them like you would want your superiors to fight for your rights. If the manual fails to address the issues, let us escalate the matter to the next level and try to offer a solution to the employee rather than giving them possibly avoidable disappointment.
e)
In case of separation, we will not hold whatever dues that the agreed employment contract has declared. We will give what is rightfully theirs without any conditions attached.
f)
We discourage any form of discrimination whether it is based on nationality, ethnicity, gender or race. At Zafco, everyone is treated as equal.
g)
Practice of religion is an individual and human right, and is freely allowed irrespective of the faith one belongs to. We will always respect another’s faith as we expect others to respect ours.

3.1 Introduction
Stationery is one of the most public faces of any company and consists of many different elements; from letterheads to business cards, facsimile sheets to forms. The objective of the Brand Identity is to maintain a consistency of appearance across all elements, and to present an image in keeping with the brand. The style of what is written on the stationery is equally important and the layout of letters should be standardised to optimize the impact of every communication made by Zafco to the outside world.

5.2.1 Visual Language & Systems
These guidelines are not intended to prescribe the nature of imagery used on core literature suites in any detail. However, imagery used should always be of a high creative and production quality in keeping with the core values of the Zafco brand. Some examples of the kind of imagery used across Zafco literature are shown on this page. Our values are the guiding principles for everything within the Zafco imagery.
Integrity Honourable Excellence Respectful Loyal Intelligent
5.2.2 Visual Language & Systems
Imagery is an intrinsic part of our brand equity - it creates a connection with our audiences, and reflects positively on our brand. It is therefore very important to carefully consider the selection of images we use in all of Zafco communications. We also need to bear in mind that in addition to thought-provoking visuals, appeal is also very important. In all our designs the primary objective should be to portray Zafco as the leader, through interesting photography and visuals. The Zafco Identity should never be placed on busy photographic backgrounds. Avoid placing the brand property across a person’s face.
Flipping and altering levels Illustrative images with no distinguishing features or landmarks can usually be flipped without too much concern. If, however, the image features a well-known personality or landmark, flipping the image may distort or destroy what is truthful about the subject. Use imagery with perspective, to create a stronger feeling of depth. Linear Perspective - create strong dynamic lines that can lead the eye through the picture/image Colour Harmony - use colour conservatively to provide an image that allows elements to come to the fore.
Cropping and re-sizing You can crop and re-size the image, although the adjustments you make should not change the intended meaning of the image. For instance, if the image is an important Zafco product, cropping may remove a vital piece of information, diminishing the importance of the product and, by extension, the brand. However, if the image is more illustrative, cropping probably will not make any difference to the meaning of the image, with the exception of size or shape.
Subjects – Use people who reflect the imagery of the brand Photography - aperture is a key creative decision in most imagery. Limited depth of field can be used to emphasize the foreground rather than the background. Directing any imagery with a wide aperture will give the creative route as opposed to a much smaller aperture for sharpness, with plenty of background for interesting cropping.
