The Tater Logo 16 | Tater Corporate Identity Brand Guidelines
About the logo The Tater logo has been designed to achieve a firm and balanced appeal, exuding our reputation of stability and a solid foundation. A bold font has been used to make a bold statement. The thick and powerful typeface indicates a strong organization. The block shaped depiction of the letters is similar in shape to a heavy truck or shipping container, suggestive of our trade operations. The design is both anchored and dynamic, creating an appearance that is magnetic and commanding. The letter “A” balances the rigidity of the logo, shaped like an arrow pointing upwards, adding movement while remaining grounded by the overall stability of the design. When reading the letters from left to right, the eyes are lead from a sharp angle along a solid base from which the rolling curve of the letter “R” directs the viewer back to the center of the design. This design represents the Tater Group’s essence – a stable provider of services that keep industry moving. Tater Corporate Identity Brand Guidelines | 17
Logo usage This section outlines the proper usage of the Tater group’s logos and those belonging to its subsidiary companies. The consistent use of our logo and trademarks across all means of communication is important in maintaining the reputation and recognition of our brand.

Corporate Colors 46 | Tater Corporate Identity Brand Guidelines
The color orange permeates the industrial world - its vibrant hue is used liberally on safety equipment and navigational systems. It demands attention. Its warmth stimulates activity and encourages social exchange – two elements integral to our business. The color grey is also abundant in industrial applications. Grey is the color of cement, concrete, and steel. The neutrality of grey serves as a classic background, supporting the full spectrum of colors with authority and refinement. Our combination of orange and grey create a powerful message. The two colors unite to exude a strong industrial appeal. The neutral grey enhances the effectiveness of the vibrant orange, creating a striking image that is grounded in stability – at once both progressive and enduring.
