HUNTER LOGO This is the Hunter trade mark. It is bold and iconic – much like the Hunter brand. Our logo mixes strong typography with our corporate palette to create a powerful mark that is both timeless and instantly recognisable. To ensure our logo is always used to its full potential there are a few simple rules to follow detailed within this section. • The Hunter logo is a registered trade mark and must not be altered or modified in any way. • All packaging and advertising bearing the Hunter logo should include the Hunter trade mark line in order to identify that it is a property of Hunter Boot Limited. This should read “HUNTER is a trade mark of Hunter Boot Limited. (c) 2009 Hunter Boot Limited.”
HUNTER LOGO
The logo should be applied to all Hunter communications as the main identifier of our brand. It should be used in a clear, considered manner to ensure legibility.
16mm
MINIMUM SIZE
The Hunter logo should appear strong and visible and therefore it cannot be used below the minimum size of 16mm.
• The logo consists of the word Hunter together with a red frame. The logo is never to be used without the red frame. • The logo features the corporate palette consisting of black, white and Hunter red (PMS 185). • The logo can be obtained in digital format from the marketing team at Hunter, contactable at marketing@hunter-boot.com. • All logo usage is subject to the approval process* at Hunter.

HUNTER LOGO To maintain consistency on marketing communications the following guidelines must be adhered to when typesetting the logo.
EXCLUSION ZONE
Our logo is an integral part of our heritage and must never be altered. To protect the integrity of the Hunter logo we have created an exclusion zone that no other graphic elements should encroach upon. The size of this zone is defined by the height of the ’H’ of the intended mark. The depth should be equal top and bottom and also on both margins.
EXCLUSION ZONE ROYAL WARRANTS Warrants should be 50% of logo width
The Royal Warrents must be positioned above the logo using HALF the height of the Hunter ‘H’ as a guide (this height determines the exclusion zone around the logo). They should also be positioned centrally to the width of the Hunter logo. The H height exclusion zone should also be observed above and around the Warrants as well. The combined width of the Royal Warrants is always half the width of the Hunter logo. Please use the layout example as a guide to proportions.
MONOTONE HUNTER LOGO
08
On rare occasions when colour printing is not an option a monotone version of the logo may be applied. This logo version is only to be used when four colour process printing is not available and subject to permission from the marketing team. Examples of this may include black and white newspapers, adverts or trade press.

HUNTER EMBLEM As a brand Hunter has an amazing history spanning back over 150 years. To celebrate this heritage we have developed the Hunter emblem. Originally known as the North British Rubber Company, Hunter was registered as a company in Edinburgh during September 1856. During this period the ‘NBR’ used a thistle motif as their emblem to emphasise the Scottish roots within the company.

The Hunter emblem today is a modernised, simplified version of this original mark. Subtly linked to a genuine milestone in the Hunter history, the new emblem defines our heritage and strengthens our position as a luxury brand. 8mm
•
All emblem usage is subject to the approval process* at Hunter. HUNTER EMBLEM NO DATE MINIMUM SIZE
USING THE HUNTER EMBLEM The Hunter emblem may be used to support the Hunter logo, it does not replace it. It may be used in conjunction with the logo on materials such as packaging (boot boxes) and used in product design as a design detail and brand identifier (embroidered badges, button design, etc). The Hunter emblem should always feature the date which is central to the brand heritage. The exception is when it is used as a minute detail in product design where the date would be illegible.

HUNTER PRINT The Hunter print is inspired by the red frame of the logo. Combining the frame with an equally weighted double line creates a distinctive, ownable pattern that can become as recognisable as the logo itself. The Hunter print is a design feature of Hunter products, used in various sizes and colours, most noticeably on boot linings.

HUNTER TYPEFACES The Hunter brand employs two typefaces: Akzidenz Grotesk which is a modern san serif and Hercules which is a more traditional serif. The juxtaposition of these two typefaces creates tension when used together and reflects both the contemporary and historical roots of our brand. Note: When setting type for the web the two headline fonts should be used as placed files - for live text Helvetica or Times New Roman can be used.

HUNTER HEADLINES The combination of the two Hunter typefaces are extremely important to our brand and how we communicate. Akzidenz Grotesk Super provides a bold, contemporary feel to the brand whilst Hercules Medium offers an elegant and more traditional edge to our typography. It is by putting these two contrasting styles together that creates an impact when we speak and provides a powerful typographic style that Hunter can own.
ESTABLISHED
1856 ROYAL SEAL
OF APPROVAL CREATING ICONIC HUNTER HEADLINES When writing Hunter headlines use a combination of Akzidenz Grotesk Super and Hercules Medium, both in uppercase. The combination works well to accentuate the duality of the Hunter brand, the fashionable and the functional and creates a powerful tension in our typography with the traditional and modern. Akzidenz Grotesk Super can be used on top or underneath Hercules Medium when creating headlines. When using these typefaces the letters should be kerned closely together with the leading set tightly so the words sit closely together. There is no a set rule for this so the type will have to be set individually according to use. Some examples of our typography are contained within this document.

HUNTER BODY COPY Hunter have two typefaces for use in body copy. For emotive brand stories such as press releases, marketing collateral, point-ofsale materials etc, Hercules Medium Text should be used. When writing more factual and functional information, such as product descriptions, trade catalogues, price lists etc, Akzidenz Grotesk Extra Light should be used. As with our headline fonts, we have two typefaces to use when laying out body copy.
Emotive brand copy in Hercules Medium Text Our History ‘The first Hunter Wellington boot emerged courtesy of American entrepreneur Henry Lee Norris who set up the famous rubber footwear factory in Scotland. Ever since then, we’ve been mastering the art of making Wellington boots, introducing revolutionary technology, the best new materials and a unique process that improves the boot’s performance under the toughest conditions. Apart from that, we’ve stayed true to the original principles established over 150 years ago.’
Informative body copy in Akzidenz Grotesk Extra Light The Hunter Original sets the benchmark for our boots. When it was first launched it broke all established rules: lightweight, neat fitting and above all, comfortable. It is now a symbol of British life. The Hunter Original boot can still put in a hard day’s work (or play), doing the job for which it was designed.
Hunter Body Copy Typefaces Hercules Medium Text should be used when talking about the Hunter brand. For example, press releases, marketing, promotional materials, etc. Akzidenz Grotesk Extra Light is used for informative body copy. For example, product specifications, care instructions, etc. Note: Both of these typefaces are set to auto leading and 0 kerning when in use.

OUR HISTORY
ESTABLISHED
1856
A MARK OF EXCELLENCE
The first famous Hunter wellington was seen back in 1856 when Mr Henry Lee Norris, an American entrepreneur, landed on Scottish soil in search of a rubber company.
In 1977, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh awarded Hunter his Royal Warrant and then in 1986, we were privileged to be granted a warrant from HM The Queen.
We’ve been mastering the art of welly making ever since, introducing revolutionary technology, the best new materials and we have invented a special, secret process that makes a boot that can be relied on to perform under the toughest conditions for years. But other than that we’ve stayed true to the original foundations set over 150 years ago.
ROYAL SEAL OF APPROVAL
HUNTER TyPOGRAPHy IN PLACE Shown above are two examples of Hunter typography in use. The colours within the spreads are either majority black or white utilising the Hunter red as the highlight colour. On both spreads the headline is contained on the left hand side using both Hunter headline typefaces. The type is justified centrally and scaled to align on each side - Hunter type can either be set like this or justified right. Both headline typefaces are used as this is an essential part of our typography style. On the right hand side of both spreads, Hercules Medium Text is used as we are talking about the Hunter brand. Akzidenz Grotesk Super is used for headings. On the right hand-side spread we have used a large ‘Q’ to make a typographic statement - the elegant nature of Hercules Medium allows us to use our typography in an editorial style which gives it a contemporary and fashionable edge.

HUNTER TALK The way Hunter speaks is another integral part of our brand. We have our own way of talking that must be kept consistent across all our communications. An outline of the Hunter tone of voice is provided on this page.
DIRECT INTELLIGENT INCLUSIVE ENGAGING HUNTER STYLE All Hunter communications use language that speaks clearly and directly to an intelligent, informed audience anywhere in the world. The Hunter brand embraces all ages and the language will subtly change according to the audience of adults, teenagers or children, as will the visual imagery. The tone of voice will always be friendly and inclusive. Original ideas and experiences play a major part in the Hunter world and we like to share these with our audience in a playful, warm and engaging manner. When using English, Hunter language is in the third person using full sentences and punctuation, avoiding glib clichĂŠ, jargon and fashionable street talk. Hunter wants to break down barriers, not seclude people with language.

HUNTER TALK We have addressed the Hunter tone of voice and the style in which we communicate. A more detailed account is shown on this page, giving a personal insight into the characteristics of the Hunter speaker.
WITTY HUMOROUS ENERGETIC INSPIRATIONAL HUMOUR Irony, wit and good-natured humour are hallmarks of the Hunter style. There is a cheeky Tongue-in-Cheek side to Hunter humour, it can be whimsical which is very British but never too slapstick or coarse in content. This would simply not be the Hunter image! DYNAMIC YET GROUNDED Hunter occupies an energetic and inspirational world, holding strong opinions yet open to new ideas. Life is an exciting mix of challenge and opportunity but Hunter remains grounded and in touch with the human side through community, family and friends. HUNTER VOCABULARY IN Original, adventurous, instinctive, eccentric, fun, colourful, urban, reliable, fashionable, personal, familial. Words such as cool, edgy and hip are used descriptively with reference to our product designs. OUT Slang, street talk, colloquialisms and swear words are strictly off limits!

BRAND INTRODUCTION Sometimes there is a need to introduce the Hunter brand to colleagues and those who may not already know us. When introducing our brand you may find it helpful to use the following introductory copy.
Hunter represents an aspirational lifestyle shared by people around the world. Whether your landscape is urban or rural, one true constant is Hunter’s unique attitude of elegant confidence and reliable performance. The Company was founded in 1856 by Mr Henry Lee Norris, an American entrepreneur who landed on Scottish soil in search of a home for his boot making company. During the Wars our mills ran day and night to produce a sturdy boot suitable for the conditions in flooded trenches; consequently, the Hunter boot gained a trusted reputation and popularity. Hunter is proud to have the rare honour of two Royal Warrants. That of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh was originally granted in 1977 and was followed by the Warrant of HM The Queen in 1986. Today Hunter marries modern technology with traditional techniques, to offer hand crafted designs to a very diverse worldwide audience. The current Hunter footwear range includes urban and country casual footwear and children’s boots. To see the full range, visit www.hunter-boot.com

TRADE MARK PROTECTION The Hunter logo is registered as a trade mark in many countries around the world and is a proprietary right owned by Hunter Boot Limited. It is therefore important that all Hunter packaging and advertising which bears the Hunter logo displays the correct trade mark notification in order to identify it as a trade mark owned by Hunter Boot. •
All items of packaging, advertising and editorial pieces which bear the Hunter name or the Hunter logo must include the Hunter trade mark statement: “HUNTER is a registered trade mark of Hunter Boot Limited.”
•
Where an advertising piece runs to two or more pages, the trade mark statement should appear once on the final page. It is not necessary to include the statement on each page.
•
In exceptional circumstances, it may be acceptable to remove the trade mark statement from a particular piece of advertising or editorial if this is desirable for aesthetic purposes. However, this must always be checked and approved by the Hunter Marketing team. Where the Hunter name is referenced within the body of a sentence, the opening H of “Hunter” should always be capitalised in order to distinguish it as a trade mark.

BRAND COLLABORATIONS From time to time Hunter may partner with third parties, collaborate with guest designers or associate ourselves with various charitable organisations. Where we do so, it is important to present the collaboration as a co-branded visual communication, allowing each brand to take its own place but in a united fashion. A co-branded style advertisement may also be used when a stockist is advertising their own store but is keen to advertise the Hunter brand as a major brand they stock. •
As mentioned before, where another logo is presented the Royal Warrants must never be used as they have been awarded to Hunter only and are not allowed to endorse another brand.
•
These templates serve as a visual guide for the purpose of these guidelines. A detailed template to be followed in order to create artwork is available from the marketing team at Hunter at marketing@hunter-boot.com.
