WHY DO WE NEED GRAPHIC STANDARDS? 2
With so many wireless component providers competing vigorously for industry dollars and awareness, it is imperative that Centurion Wireless Technologies, Inc. creates and maintains a strong corporate signature. The Centurion logo is a graphic mark that can be instantly associated with Centurion and all it represents. We seldom realize the role graphics plays in a company’s public image. These carefully designed graphic elements are the ambassadors of the Centurion brand. The graphic identity is quite often the most visible aspect of a company and should be guarded through careful usage. The purpose of this manual is to define the stylistic presentations of the Centurion identity and to outline the procedures for its implementation. The use of Centurion’s corporate signature in a unified, consistent manner will help to enhance the positive image that we currently maintain in the marketplace. To maximize the corporate signature’s value, all individuals involved in any form of Centurion’s communications must consistently adhere to these standards. Any questions concerning usage of the logo should be directed to Centurion’s Marketing Department.
LOGO SPECIFICATIONS 3
The logo consists of three elements: the signal icon, the Centurion logo type, and the Wireless Technologies, Inc. line. These elements must always be used in the same proportion to each other as shown below. Maintain the minimum clearance space around the logo as indicated. The base measurement of one unit equals the width of the “C� in the Centurion logo type.
1 unit
1 unit 1 unit 1 unit
1.5 units
A Pantone 201 Red box acts as a secondary identifier for the logo. The height of this box equals the hieght of the logo from the top of the signal icon to the baseline of the Wireless Technologies, Inc. line. The logo pair is to be used on the corporate stationery, envelopes and business cards.

Minimum reproduction size is 1 inch wide. Reducing the logo below this size makes the type too small to read.
COLOR USAGE 4
The logo is provided in several color variations to accommodate various usage needs. Whenever possible, the signal icon should be printed in Pantone 201 red. The type in the logo should be printed in black on a light background or reversed out in white on a dark background. If a second color is not available, print the logo in all black or reverse it out of a background in all white as shown in the examples below. Sometimes it will be necessary to use the all white version of the logo for legibility.

1-COLOR/BLACK
REVERSE OUT 2-COLOR/PMS 201 (RED) AND BLACK

UNACCEPTABLE LOGO USAGE 5
The Centurion Wireless Technologies, Inc. logo should always appear exactly as provided. Never reset the type or alter the corporate logo in any way.

SHIRTS AND SPECIALTY ITEMS 14
For applications such as embroidered shirts, hats and other wearable and specialty items, it is acceptable (and even preferred) to separate the elements of the logo. Remember, however, that the size relationship of the logo elements may never be altered when they are used together. Here are some samples of embroidered knit shirts using the separated logo elements.
