DHL guidelines by gabychev Alex

DHL GLOBAL BRAND IDENTITY MANUAL

1 Introduction As the number one in worldwide express services we have a strong and unique global brand. Our leading position and our brand strengthen one another. Our worldwide consistent presentation makes an impression and contributes to the recognition of our leadership. We aim to keep this leading position in our highly competitive market. Strong brands do not grow on their own. We must nurture and guide our brand at every opportunity and in every facet of its existence. One very important aspect is the accurate application of graphic brand elements. This graphic manual contains improved guidelines with clear directions and examples. Digital artwork for logotype, Laser Lines and applications are included and have been improved in quality. We make sure that the right application is crystal clear for everyone involved in designing and producing brand items. With this manual we have an excellent tool to carry out our worldwide presentation to perfection. We are proud of our logo and what it stands for. We adhere to the highest quality standards to implement it, because only that can equal our style of achievement and global leadership. Frank Hyldmar Global Commercial Director

Digital files The icons in this manual refer to digital files that you can find on the cd or on intranet. For example, you will find artwork for the letterhead to give to your printer as well as a Microsoft Word template that you can use on your pc for well branded memos.

Graphic production QuarkXPress Adobe Illustrator video

Opening files In the pdf version of this manual, the icons can be clicked to open the documents. To open a particular file, it is necessary to have an application that is compatible. Some of the files are graphic production files like ai or eps and it is likely that you cannot open them by clicking. It is, however, possible to copy or e-mail them.

html (internet)

Vector versus pixel An important difference in graphic file formats is the way a picture is defined. In general there are two different kinds of graphic files: the ones that are made up of pixels (square dots), and the ones that are defined by lines. When pixel files are enlarged, the pixels will show. Vector files can be enlarged without loss of quality. Vector files typically take up less disk space. Photographs are always of the pixel type. Some document file formats can contain both pixel and vector information.

3 DHL basic branding elements In this section you will find the four essential branding devices of dhl: the dhl logotype, the dhl colours, the dhl Laser Line Dynamic and the dhl typefaces.

DHL BASIC BRANDING ELEMENTS

3.1 Logotype The dhl logotype is the core element of the dhl corporate design. It represents dhl throughout our global network. There are two main versions of the logotype: standard and modified (see the descriptions on the right).

Logos

Descriptions Standard version For general use. Minimum size is 9 mm high.

≥ 9 mm

Digital files DHL-logo.eps DHL-logo.gif DHL-logo.emf

How to use the DHL logotype: • The dhl logotype must be reproduced with all elements, including ‘Worldwide Express’, the lines and the ® symbol. • The angle of the lines at either end is 64°. • The dhl logotype should either be reproduced in dhl red, white on a dark background or black as demonstrated here. Metals (gold & silver) can be used on prestigious promotional materials. • For the extended line: use the standard or modified version of the logotype, leaving a clear gap before the extended lines so that the full dhl logotype stands out. Do not: • Alter the logotype in any way • Change the typeface of Worldwide Express • Change the angle of the lines • Stretch or squeeze the logo out of proportion • Reproduce in any other color than dhl red, white or black. x

< 9 mm

Modified version For reproduction size less than 9 mm high. The spacing between the elements has been adjusted to avoid filling in. The minimum size is ±4 mm high.

DHL-logo modified.eps

For use on a dark background Whenever the logotype must appear on a dark background, it can be reversed out white.

DHL-logo white.eps DHL-logo white.gif

Standard version

Modified version

Black When print can only be done in black and white (for example, newspaper advertising), you may use black.

DHL-logo DHL-logo DHL-logo DHL-logo DHL-logo DHL-logo

black.eps black mod.eps black.gif black mod.gif black.emf black mod.emf

With line extensions The laser line can be extended on either side of the DHL logotype. The gap between the DHL logotype and the extended lines must be equal to the gap between the DHL letters and adjacent lines. When the lines do not bleed off the page, they should finish at the same angle as the DHL logotype.

extended.eps ext mod.eps extended.gif ext mod.gif extended.emf ext mod.emf

Standard version 64°

This drawing shows the logotype on a grid to indicate its proportions. The thick line indicates the minimum space around the logotype (the bounding box). • Don’t place the logotype closer to an edge. • Don’t place any objects closer to the logo. • To respect the exact proportions, resize the graphic by dragging from the corners, not the sides.

DHL BASIC BRANDING ELEMENTS

3.2 Colours Colour is one of the main identifiers of the dhl corporate design. dhl uses three corporate colours: dhl Red, Silver and Grey. dhl Red is our main colour. In addition to these three colours, black is the normal colour for text while red can be used for headings and to add emphasis or effect. White is the background colour for the logotype. Full colour versus spot colour The full colour recipe for dhl Red is 100% magenta, 100% yellow, and 30% black. This is the typical printing process for brochures and other publications with colour photographs and illustrations. For stationery however, it is more practical to use the spot colour process. In this case, dhl Red should be printed in pantone® 187red ink. The influence of paper Different recipes are given for printing on coated and uncoated paper. Colours are more brilliant when printed on coated or smooth paper, therefore a more brilliant colour should be used on uncoated paper to get almost the same result. The effect of silver is best on coated paper. Colour reference Please use the colour swatches provided in the back of this manual for reference. dhl Red is printed in full colour on coated paper. The recipes given in the table alongside should help you to get as close as possible in other techniques.

* DHL Silver dhl Silver can not be created in full colour or on a monitor. If the use of silver is important in a full colour publication an extra spot colour can be printed. When this is not an option dhl Silver should be replaced by dhl Grey, which is why there is no difference in recipes in this manual for those techniques.

DHL BASIC BRANDING ELEMENTS

3.3 Typefaces The primary typefaces for dhl are Gill Sans and Sabon. Gill Sans is especially suitable for headlines and tables, Sabon is very suitable for long copy and informal headings. Gill Sans and Sabon should be acquired from your local font vendor. Arial and Times New Roman are the recommended standard Windows速 fonts for the office environment. For the internet and intranet, the main font is Arial. For detailed information on usage of typefaces in web design, please refer to the respective design guidelines on the intranet.

3.4 Laser Line Dynamic The Laser Line Dynamic acts as a distinctive branding device expressing dhl values in the ‘style of achievement’. It is often combined with a photograph and the dhl logotype. There are two different versions of the Laser Line Dynamic: one for portrait format and one for landscape. It either bleeds off on both sides of the page or on the right only. As an exeption, it can be used not bleeding. In this case, it should be cut on the right as indicated alongside.

Space for labels and airwaybills To ensure the fastest transit through our network, space must be provided on the top of the box for two labels and on the bottom or side of the box for the airwaybill and customs paperwork. The background of this space must be white in order to ensure good read rates for scanning equipment. Instructions for placement and orientation of labels and airwaybills is also important.

INFORMATION

Design principles The positioning of the dhl logotype and usage of dhl colors are important to ensure visibility and recognition of our brand. See the basic design instructions to the right.

Design instructions • Place the logo as big as possible on the top of the box, allowing space for labels and airwaybills. • Put a red bar as high as 3 to 6 lines like the three lines of the logotype on the bottom with the name of the package in white dhl Alphabet type. The text is half as high as the bar, aligning right, centered vertically. • Fill up the white space with dhl Grey lines with the same thickness and spacing as the lines in the logotype. Leave a white space above and under the logo of 2–3 lines.

Packaging serves as an advertising opportunity for dhl. It is seen by many customers and received by many others, so it should demonstrate the quality and efficiency of the dhl service by looking and working perfectly.

When the horizontal lines of the vehicle are not level, the lines of the vehicle should be followed. • The logo shoud be put on all sides, with its bounding box centred in the available space as big as possible. Choose from the range of decals available through Network Supplies (see next page).

V1132 180 mm high

Example of branding on medium van (i.e. Ford Transit)

• Local dhl telephone numbers in Gill Sans Regular, dhl red, are displayed on the doors and the rear. When possible: cap height 55 mm with 100 mm leading for the web address and 82.5 mm for the telephone number. • The logotype should also appear across the rear of the vehicle positioned midheight or higher. If the vehicle structure will not allow this positioning, the logotype should be placed to the left side of the rear of the vehicle.
