PURPOSE: Identifying State FarmState Farm is establishing a unified image for the company and its services. By January 31, 2013, all communications are strongly encorage to fully reflect State Farm identity described in these guidelines.

The objective of this effort is to present a reliable and coherent identity that enhances the prestige and value of State Farm among key audiences and stakeholders. A consistentent identity will enhance our ability to lead and innovate. It will set State Farm apart from other insurance companies and increase our ability to atract and retain exceptional customers, agencies and employees. Identity standards are designed to help all departments and services by strengthening State Farm brand.

This document may be downloaded and used by anyone responsible for creating or updating any State Farm-related communications as long as guidelines are followed as outlined. Use these guidelines whenever develop-ing materials that represent State Farm to important audiences.

These guidelines establish a basic foundation for design execution and strategy. At the same time State Farm acknowledges these guidelines cannnot address every design situation taht may arise. In such cases, internal experts are available to assist you.

Signature

BrandmarkLogotype

A Signature is the structured relationship between a logotype, brandmark, and tagline. Some programs

accommodate split signatures that allow the mark and the logotype to be separate

Page 9: Identity Standards & Guidelines

LOGO GUIDELINES1. Different guidelines apply for print and for electronic media. Please make sure to use the State Farm logotype and/or brandmark that is most appropri-ate for your application.

a. Print Media:i. The official logo combines two separate elements: the trademark and brandmark. These two elements work in concert and cannot —when show together — be resized, reaggranged, or altered in any way.ii. While the official version is always preferred, a vertical version can beused when necessary. Again, the elents in the vertical version work in concert and cannot be resized, rearranged, or altered in any way.iii. For design purposes, the trademark and wordmark “State Farm” canbe used separately.iv. An approved version of the State Farm’s logo must appear on all material published or distributed by the marketing department. The logo should be sized and positioned for easy visibility and recognition.

b. Electronic Media:i. The official version of State Farm logo is always preferred. However, arevised vertical version should be use for web desing.

2. A “safe area” should always exist around the logo to allow maximum legibility. No elementos such a typography, other logos, or graphics should intrude over the safe area.Placing the logo too near a cut or folded edge also violates the safe area. The safe area is equal to one-half the height.

SECONDARY COLOR PALETTE1. The secondary color palette provides colors to complement the primary palette of red and white. Note that secondary colors do not replace the primary color palette of red and white. In most instances where only two colors are available for printing, red and white should be used. In all cases, the colors blue and orange should be avoided.
