Enclosures: FIM Graphic Charter

- To all the FMNs - To the CONUs - To the Management Council Members (for info) - To the Commission and Panel Members (for info) - To the FIM Promoters C/080/2007 5 October 2007 GM/jst Modernised FIM logo to be used as from 1.1.2008 Dear Sir or Madam, At the 2006 FIM Congress in Salvador, the General Assembly approved the principle of adopting a modernised logo for the FIM. A mandate was given to the Management Council to select and decide on the final logo design taking into consideration the modern requirements of a federation with new ambitions. We are pleased to announce that the modernised FIM logo, that has been selected by the Management Council and which will be used as from 1.1.2008, has been published on the FIM website (under FIM Graphic Charter). This logo was created with the intention of providing a symbol of unity and a graphical representation of community, harmony and balance. It preserves the main elements of our traditional symbols always present in previous versions of the FIM logo: wings, wheel, laurels and cylinder. We kindly request all FMNs, CONUs, Promoters, etc. to make every effort to use exclusively the new FIM logo as from 1.1.2008 and to follow scrupulously the requirements for its use as laid down in the attached Graphic Charter. This Graphic Charter can also be found on the Member Area of the FIM website that can be accessed by typing your password and access code. Then select the first menu to your left "FIM Graphic Charter". A CD-ROM will be available at the Biennial Session which includes the full Graphic Charter. Kindly help us by using and respecting the new FIM modernised logo! With best regards,

Guy Maitre Chief Executive Officer (electronic signature)

FIM IDENTITY SYSTEM

Our Identity

The logotype of the FIM is the FIM's official hallmark. As such it indicates

intellectual property belonging to the FIM. It can therefore only be used

for purposes or for events that are expressly approved or sanctioned by

the FIM.

This logo was created with the intention of providing a unifying symbol,

a graphical representation of community, harmony and balance.

Conserving the best elements of the traditional symbols of wings, wheel,

laurels and cylinder, it was adapted to meet the modern requirements of

a federation with new ambitions. The symbol is confident and dynamic,

and projects the prestige of a long tradition.

FIM IDENTITY SYSTEM

1. Official Logo

Here is the basic, official version of the FIM logo to be used for printed materials.

The production of articles carrying the FIM Logo (clothes, miscellaneous articles) is, as a

matter of principle, exclusively restricted to the FIM, its affiliated members and its

authorised partners.

Competition organisers wishing to produce articles carrying the FIM logo will only be

authorised to do this if:

1. The logo of the competition is also printed on the article(s), and

2. The proposed design is submitted to the FIM for approval, together with the request

to make use of the FIM logo (see " Download ").

FIM IDENTITY SYSTEM

1. Logo Usage

This FIM logotype is our shared distinctive symbol throughout the world. It is therefore

essential that everyone should recognize it immediately. Any variation from the norm is

consequently absolutely prohibited. You will find portrayed below a few examples of

things to avoid in order to keep our identity intact.

It is vital to preserve the design of this logotype, not to separate its constituent elements

and to respect the spacing and proportions of the original.

Spacing to be maintained

X = 1/3 of inner circle

Always leave a "breathing-space" (x) around the FIM logo; this space should be

proportional to the size of the inner circle of the logo. You may also print an image as a

background behind the framed logo as long as the logo remains clearly legible.

Minimum permitted size

2. Logo Usage

Logo with background

Colour, black and white or flat black logos can be applied to any kind of

background, as long as the logos remain legible.

Below are some examples of applications of the logo on colour

backgrounds.

When the background is contrasting and makes the logo difficult to see,

the logo must be used with the frame associated with the logo.
