Design and presentation can create awareness, influence perception and earn loyalty. They are the language of expressing a brand. This Brand Tool Kit contains the guidelines for leveraging the VISHAL brand identity through consistent representation. Applying these guidelines to communications, campaigns and products will add value to the VISHAL brand, enhancing visibility and emotional connection with customers.
Logo and Style Guide
Brand Style Brand style serves to set VISHAL apart from the competition. It creates a personality that can be trusted and admired. VISHAL’s brand style is based on its core principles— strength, harmony, commonality, respect, responsibility, openness and credibility—which reflect a general orientation toward expressing good will and actively staying in tune with what benefits our community and stakeholders. Staying true to these values in applying brand style to content and communications will help to strengthen VISHAL’s brand image and relationship with its audience.

Logo Overview Our logo is the most immediately visible visual element which represents our organization and brand. Its design is meant to incorporate our name as well as what we stand for. Since it is our brand’s most prominent visual element, the VISHAL logo must always be treated with respect.
The global/flow symbol depicts a global scope with a flow or current running through it which is integral to the whole, as are the core principles we stand behind. The official VISHAL color is 100% Cyan, 60% Magenta, 0% Yellow, 50% Black, Pantone 295C. The preferred ways to display the logo are, reversed (white) on a 100% cyan background, or cyan on a white background. For web applications, use the websafe version of Cyan: #003366. The VISHAL logo should only be used together with its approved colors. Examples of correct logo usage in positive and reverse formats are shown here.

Clothing This page illustrates usage of the VISHAL logo on wearable items. In order to keep our logo highly visible, scale is important. See the requirements for scale and clear space (section 2).
Visibility Items It is important that the brand’s visual presentation remains as distinct as possible from the surrounding environment.
Because vehicles, tents, banners and signs are highly visible, they are among the most important tools for identifying our presence.
Campaign and Sponsorship Banners The brand can also be communicated on banners to show sponsorship of events. In these cases, it is especially important for the visual representation to remain distinct and visible.
