CLIENT OVERIEW:

Progress in casino gaming has historically been measured in incremental improvements to game features. But our industry is in a state of flux — more competitors, new technologies, fewer and more demanding players, new entry points and operators facing more challenges than ever before. Only IGT has the expertise, vision and spirit to push ahead of the game.

We’ve been innovating and delivering industry-altering firsts and bests since day one — WAP, TITO, MLD, sbX, Cloud, Wheel of Fortune and Double Down Casino, to name a few. From the casino floor space to cyberspace, IGT propels the evolution of gaming, reimagining people’s play and experiences. We know that convergence outside our walls can’t happen without convergence inside them. And we know that we all win when players engage more in the casino, online and on the go. With a refreshing and insightful approach to the business, we always deliver the experience that operators and players prefer. Worldwide.

Disruptive. Different. Demanding.

Compelled by a vision that requires going beyond math models, bonusing systems and hardware. Because there’s innovation and then there’s innovation that matters. IGT — Ahead of the game.

We Are Reliable

We do the job right and on time, every time — without question.

Whether it’s games, technologies, player experiences or operator relationships, IGT’s proven ability to deliver is without equal in the industry.e

We Are Courageous

We believe that courage and optimism trump fear and resistance every time. This frees us to do things differently and enables us to make a difference.

We Are Pioneering

We don’t copy; we create: our development of industry firsts comes from having an eye on the future. That means being more than just a game manufacturer, so we continually strive for new techniques, technologies and talent that push the industry forward.

We Are Collaborative

We partner with operators in order to enhance the player experience as well as game and casino performance. We continually seek out relationships that create new opportunities, and connect seamlessly within IGT to deliver leading entertainment.

We Are Ingenious

Blending imagination with pragmatism, we couple “what if?” with “what’s possible?” to deliver what’s next. Our diverse backgrounds and talents allow IGT to see beyond the casino floor to realize a gaming vision for the future — and a bridge to get there.

The Projection Graphic is a unique graphic element that can be used as backgrounds for applications. The ‘new blue’ is a nod to the IGT heritage and legacy but is updated, brighter, more vibrant. The graded blue tones of the graphic create dynamism and motion. The graphic is suggestive of spotlights, a primary cue of entertainment and excitement. The flexibility in its use allows changes in shape to aid in modulating messages and visual compositions.

The above examples are only three of many unique combinations that can be made. The Projection Graphic is always built with three triangles filled with linear gradient blends of the four ITG blue colors and/or white. Not every Projection Graphic must fill a complete background, but every triangle must contain a linear gradient.

The end state of a Projection Graphic is always a rectilinear frame (above right) that crops out the vertices of each triangle.

Multiply and transparency settings In Adobe Illustrator, apply gradients and set the transparency mode to multiply. As you add each layer, the mode will multiply the base color by the blend color, and the resulting color is always a darker color. Always extend the gradient within each triangle by at least one-half of its length.

For print applications be very specific with your print vendor about how you created the transparency and colors in the Projection Graphic.

IGT CONCEPT PROPOSAL

Projection is defined as an estimate or forecast of

06

a future situation or trend based on a study of present ones.

Within the Rebranding of IGT, designers utilized the approach of projection to convey the forward motion of the company. Upon further analysis of the designers approach, I became drawn to the word projection. Within every projection you have two distinct elements. The first element being the source from which the projection is emanating from. The second element is the destination in which the source in traveling to. However, there is a third key component that connects these two elements.

That key component is the space from which the source must travel across to reach its destination. It is that path in between the two that becomes the journey of the projection.

SEED IDEA: “ The journey of a million miles begins with the first step�

Lao-tzu

Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC) Every great story begins with the journey of an individual.

They are what take us from one point in our lives to the next. A journey can open new doors that one never new existed and create exciting opportunities towards the future. But to some the very notion of a journey to some can be scary and create hesitation when embarking on them alone. However, that fear can be relieved when you have a guide to take you on these journeys towards the future.

IGT is a company that prides itself as being one of the gaming industry leaders in innovation and technology. It is a company that is currently on a journey towards the future of creating new and exciting experiences for its clients. At G2E 2014, IGT has the opportunity to invite new and existing clients to take this journey with their new brand.

A journey to the future of gaming and technology A journey of infinite user accessibility and interconnection A journey of the future of gaming as we know This journey can allow for visitors to experience their reliability first hand. It will display their courage amongst their competitors. Express that they are pioneers within the industry. Show their collaborative nature. And most importantly express their ingenious approach as business and to gaming experience.

BRAND EXPERIENCE:

PRE-SHOW: Because visitors will be gaming industry employees from around the globe, the pre-show engagement will be delivered in two parts. The first part will be a detailed itinerary and ticket to join IGT for the launching of their new brand and the series of events that will be held at the official IGT terminal. The second will be a customized travel kit to assist them in their journey. The point is to give these individuals something functional and an item that will be used by the individual on a regular basis. The guests who will be attending G2E range from executives, corporate managers, tribal leaders, buyers and other industry professionals.

Because these individuals travel on a regular basis, the pre-show kit can provided a constant reminder of IGT Brand and experience.
