Use of the FIFA Emblem on Packaging: Mandatory Use & Exceptions
Mandatory Use of the FIFA Emblem on Packaging
The Official Emblem of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ can be used on product packaging of all product categories included in the agreement with FIFA and for all regions in the world. The FIFA Emblem should be printed on all product packaging* that will appear in stores from June 2013 onwards. *Exceptions can be made in cases where the product life is long, the size of the Emblem that can be used is too small or where use of the Emblem is difficult.
Exceptions for the Use of the FIFA Emblem on Packaging
Minimum Size For small-size packaging, the minimum size of the FIFA Emblem (for offset printing, a height of 11mm; for flexographic (Flexo) printing, a height of 35mm) must be used to maintain visibility. If this is not possible, the FIFA Emblem should not be inserted on the packaging.
Placement When the minimum size (refer to the above) of the FIFA Emblem cannot physically appear on the main surface of the packaging, a different surface may be used.
Period of Use Even if product cartons with the FIFA Emblem are still in the market at the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ competition (July 14, 2014 and later), FIFA will not impose any fines nor request that the cartons be removed from the market. In general, products with a long life that may possibly remain as part of dealer inventories in 2016 and beyond should not have the FIFA Emblem included on their cartons or packaging. 3
FIFA Emblem Placement Basic Layout
The Official Emblem of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ should be placed on the main surface of the carton or packaging and positioned diagonally to the Module Logo in the recommended lower-right corner. The basic size of the FIFA Emblem should be 25 percent of the height of the Module Logo.
Module Logo
However, if the height of the Module Logo exceeds 240mm, please contact the Creative Center regarding the size of the FIFA Emblem. If the height of the Module Logo is less than 44mm, the height of the FIFA Emblem should be fixed at 11mm.
