BRAND MARK SPACING
To protect the brand mark from overlapping other
elements, and to maintain its appearance optimally,
it must be protected with a clear space surrounded
by all sides.
The brand marks should always be protected at
a distance of a half of the symbol height from the
upper and bottom edge and half of the symbol width
from right and left edge of any print or on-screen
application.

This applies to all versions of the brand mark. Its
placement on right and correctly measured spacing
from the edge relative to the brand mark will ensure
a consistent identity.

full color logo is not possible, the grayscale version is
to be applied and not an automatic conversion.

COMBINING COLORS
Master Combination
To design the right color message, use a relevant
combination of brand colors. The shown
combinations are examples of different brand
expressions by varying their color stress.
Dominant colors are the most apparent in layouts
and are general mood setters. They stress headings,
titles, form background color or tone visual.
Subordinate colors support the dominant color,
occupy less space or have less weight. The are used
as graphic devices. Accents are fillers are normally
used as background, for framing text, elements
and imagery. Accents should be sparely applied.
