THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INVESTORS BRAND

A corporate brand represents the relationship between a company and its many audiences: partners, customers, prospects, investors and employees. The brand represents our fundamental values and personality, which help to build trusted relationships that contribute to the long-term health and success of our bank.

The Investors brand image takes shape as the result of everything we do — from the way we speak about our bank, to the way we treat our customers, to our dealings with the world at large. As such, communicating through consistent visual and verbal messages is crucial to building a consistent and trusted brand.

PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT

Investors Bank is evolving. We’re growing our business and modernizing our brand to re� ect both our heritage of customer service and our new capabilities and offerings.

This document represents a set of brand identity principles intended to help our people understand the direction in which our brand — and its “look and feel” — are moving. As a starting point, we want to help people understand the fundamental positioning of our brand, and how that positioning translates into visual and verbal communications.

1.0 The Investors Bank Brand

INVESTORS BANK BRAND ST YLE GUIDE VERSION 3 .0 , AUGUST 2015 PAGE 4

2.0 Brand Positioning

Investors believes that your bank should always be working in your best interest.

For individuals, families, businesses and commercial real estate clients, Investors provides world-class products and services, in an honest and straightforward manner. We work hard to always do what’s right for each and every customer — making sure they get the right products and great value — to help them meet their everyday banking needs as well as to achieve their long-term goals.

To do well, you have to do right. And doing right by our customers is how we hope to become the leading community-oriented bank in the region.

Investors’ positioning can be viewed as the “dictionary” statement about who we are, what we do, who we do it for, how we’re unique in the industry, and the value we provide to customers. The positioning re� ects our go-to-market strategy today, and may be changed from time to time as market and competitive conditions change. It is meant to be clear and factual, for internal use, to help our people and our agency partners clearly understand the brand platform, from which all other messaging and communications should be developed.

Page 5: Investors Bank Brand Style Guide · PDF fileINVESTORS BANK BRAND STYLE GUIDE VERSION 3.0, ... The tagline is speci˚ cally designed with a double meaning: ... • Lots of banks make

INVESTORS BANK BRAND ST YLE GUIDE VERSION 3 .0 , AUGUST 2015 PAGE 5

One of the challenges in communicating a desired brand positioning is how to capture the complete spirit of the brand — the entire story of the company’s distinctiveness — in just a few memorable words or a phrase.

We call this distillation of the brand platform the Single-Point Message. In Investors’ case, we have selected a Single-Point Message that also is being used as our tagline.

The tagline is speci� cally designed with a double meaning: while it suggests that we’ll deliver good � nancial value, maybe most important is the promise to always do what’s right for the customer. While the � nancial industry has struggled with business and ethical issues, Investors has stayed true to its business fundamentals and has done well as a result. Now we’re making an even stronger public promise to live up to the trust that customers place in Investors, and to continue to build mutually pro� table, long-term relationships.

TAGLINE AS TEXT

The tagline may be used in text as a headline or a closing line in advertising copy. But it should not be used within, or referenced within, a paragraph of copy.

The Investors editorial voice (the tone and style of the written word) re� ects our fundamental personality, and should be consistent with our brand positioning and visual look and feel.

TONE AND PERSONALITY ATTRIBUTES

Investors Bank nurtures personal connections with customers, and our people — many of whom have been with us and have known their customers for many years — are the cornerstone upon which we build those relationships. Our editorial voice needs to re� ect this personal way that we do business. Written materials should re� ect and demonstrate that we are:

• Friendly, warm, personal

• Knowledgeable, helpful

• Proactive

• Clear, honest, trusted, straightforward

• Familiar, you know us

THE INVESTORS STORY

How does “doing what’s in our customers’ best interest” relate to also helping the bank be more successful? Consider this simple message track to better understand how doing what’s right for the customer also means doing what’s right for our bank.

Investors believes in the power of “banking fundamentals,” and cuts through the noise to always do what’s right for you.

• Lots of banks make it easy for you to spend your money … Investors helps you manage and grow your money

• Like other banks, we believe in convenience (46 branches, 32,000 ATMs, Saturday hours, online banking and bill pay), and we offer solid rates

• But we also believe in sound, time-tested � nancial principles, and we’re truly prepared to help you plan, manage and save so you can meet all your personal and business � nancial goals

• That means taking a clear, honest and straightforward approach to make sure you get the best deals and understand which products and services will be best for you

• By treating you with respect, and doing what’s in your best interest, we can build a long and fruitful relationship

4.0 Messaging and Editorial Voice

WRITING CHECKLIST

To help guide your writing, try to make sure that written materials speak directly to our customers, focusing on their personal and business needs, and how Investors can help. Following are some tips on how to achieve that editorial tone.

• Materials should speak “to” rather than “at” the customer — for example, saying “Investors’ expertise can help you make the best fi nancial decisions...” rather than “Investors’ expertise makes us the preeminent bank in the region…”.

• Whenever possible, writing should use the second-person voice; that is, explaining that “Investors can help you do XYZ” rather than “Investors helps individuals and businesses do XYZ.”

• The benefi ts to the customer should quickly become clear, so that customers can immediately understand “why should I care?”

• Text should be engaging and compelling, so that customers can see that Investors understands them and that there is value in working with our bank.

• Text should have a logical fl ow, using subheads that easily lead the reader through the material, with overviews or summaries at the top of more lengthy pieces.

5.0 Brand Signature

BRAND SIGNATURE

The brand signature is the Investors Bank logotype combined with the graphic mark. Proper use of the brand signature helps us achieve consistent brand recognition in all of our communications. Our wordmark typeface, Sabon, communicates a modern yet classical position that Investors Bank wishes to promote as an invaluable banking partner for its customers. The Investors Bank graphic mark, or the “Weave,” is made up of four interwoven shapes suggesting the strength and prosperity found in the relationships between Investors Bank and the local communities in which their customers live. This metaphor reinforces Investors Bank’s ability to offer a variety of solutions designed to � t each customer’s speci� c � nancial and banking needs.

The brand signature should be used to “sign” all marketing communica-tions. It should also be used in applications where primary identi� cation is paramount or applicable surface area is limited. For example: stationery/cor-respondence, corporate signage, premium items.

BRAND SIGNATURE WITH TAGLINE

The brand signature is the use of the tagline with the brandmark. It speaks to Investors Bank’s commitment to providing the best service possible for its customers.

The brand signature with tagline should be used in most marketing communication situations in which there is adequate horizontal space. For example: trade-show booths (header), advertising, collateral (brochures, fact sheets, etc.).

We have also created an alternate stacked con� guration. This should be used in applications where there is less than adequate horizontal space. For example: vertical banners or � ags, co-branded materials, promotional items.

Note: For signage application refer to signage Bid Documentation only.

6.0 Typography

PRIMARY

The serif font Sabon was selected for its attributes that embody the Investors brand: approachability, stability, heritage and humanism. This font comprises the majority of all typographic communications and should be used for all main headlines and body text. A secondary font, ITC Franklin Gothic, can be used sparingly as an accent, either for small headers or to help differentiate blocks of information. These fonts are used primarily in printed collateral. All styles and weights should not be distorted in any way; for example, condensing, outlining or stretching.

ALTERNATE (PC-BASED)

Times and Arial should be used as alternate typefaces for PC- and web-based situations where Sabon and ITC Franklin Gothic are not available, such as PowerPoint text, or on-demand communications such as internal memos, letters, fax cover sheets.

To purchase the Sabon and ITC Franklin Gothic typographic families, contact Investors Bank Corporate Marketing.

8.0 Secondary Graphics

To further reinforce the Investors Bank brand identity, a usage of the Investors Weave has been created as a layered, textural device or supergraphic to work in conjunction with imagery and typography to give a more customized and proprietary look and feel to the overall system. If used correctly, this will help visually connect our communications.

The Investors Bank supergraphic can be used in a de� ned way, as a cropped detail in a soft hue, or overlaying/interacting with typography and imagery in a playful, illustrative way. The mark itself should never be broken apart, distorted or reshaped in any way. The mark is meant to be a subtle background texture and to not overpower any surrounding content.

The Investors Weave can be used as an accent detail within graphic boxes.

Regular transparency at 30% value

Multipliedtransparency at 30% value

The Investors Weave can be used as a soft pattern underneath headlines.

A gradated tint version of the Investors Weave has been created to be used as an overlay on either white, Investors Green or Grey. The artwork should be used primarily at 30% transparency unless special visual requirements demand a slightly stronger or weaker tint value.

To achieve transparency, place artwork overtop graphics, images and/or colored boxes, and select either the regular transparency mode or “multiply” option within the application, depending on the desired visual effect, adjusting the percentage to 30%.

The Investors Weave can interact or overlay on top of imagery.

The Investors Weave should not overpower or confl ict with surrounding graphic elements.

9.0 Unifying Graphics

To further reinforce the Investors Bank brand identity, a strong and identi� able system of housing content has been created using graphic rectangular shapes. This creates a tight, uni� ed visual system and allows for a multitude of various images to be used in the background without forfeiting legibility or design integrity.

A singular rectangle can be segmented using different principal colors in the system to highlight and emphasize different hierarchies of content (headlines, supporting statements, the brand signature, etc.). Alternatively, multiple usage of rectangular shapes can be utilized, controlled by layout position and consistency in dimension.

Sample 1A unifying graphic box appears as a complete unit, with multiple color sections to emphasize and highlight different levels of content.

Sample 2A multiple unifying graphic box application where the construct is split into two separate box groupings. In instances of a split, ensure boxes are consistent and relative to each other with page position and shared dimensions.

Avoid using more than one unifying graphic in irregular sizes and/or placements.

IMAGE CATEGORIES

INVESTORS AT WORK BUSINESS PORTRAITURE INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC AND STILL LIFE

Situational shots of business owners working with internal teams as well as with Investors representatives. Images should be light, clean and open, with a sense of optimism and authenticity. Business attire should be professional, but not overly corporate or institutional.

Portrait shots of business owners and their teams within their particular working environment. Subjects should appear relaxed, comfortable and not overly posed. They should look both into and away from camera, to add variation. Backgrounds should be clean, light, open and simple.

Images depicting the various categories and sectors that Investors Business Banking touches in and around the communities it serves; for example: biotech, pharmaceutical, nonprofit, government, healthcare and education. Images should be simple, graphic and informative.
