BRAND GUIDE PREPARED BY LEAH ERICA CHUNG AUGUST 2012
BRAND INTRODUCTION In creating the brand of TOHL, or Tubing Operations for Humanitarian Logistics, several key words were taken into thorough consideration in order to shape TOHL’s identity: bold, revolutionary, global, professional, youthful, approachable, and simple. With both the non-profit and for-profit business segments represented under TOHL, maintaining a sense of versatility and universality was important. The following guide is meant to be used for all outgoing materials, whether in print or online. It is imperative that the guidelines are followed in order to ensure a consistent representation of TOHL’s values.

USING THE SLOGAN The horizontal orientation of the logo already has the slogan embedded within the logo mark and logotype, so there should not be a repetition of it in any situation. ONLY for the vertical orientation logo should the slogan be used. The slogan should be placed at least double the Clear Space as defined by X below the logo. The logo should always be the dominant element of the two.
