THE BRAND

Inbox Brand Standards: Introduction

Using These StandardsThe Inbox Brand Standards describe the basic elements of the proprietary brand and provide examples of its application. The correct application of basic elements are essential to maintaining the integrity the Inbox brand identity. Consequently, all of these guidelines must be followed closely as any deviation will weaken the over all brand image. These guidelines have been divided into six sections, each discussing specific elements of Inbox’s identity from basic elements to signage. They are intended for use by the organ-ization as a whole, and by graphic artists advertising agencies, printers, and other outside consultants and manufacturers who are responsible for design, creation, or production of any item that is associ-ated with Inbox. If you require any futher advice or assistance regarding the use of the Inbox brand identity, please contact the Marketing Department.

These guidelines will help Inbox build a strong brand, which represents who we are and communicates what is unique about our brand. Please follow the guidelines in this document with care and respect for a valuable asset: our brand.

A brand is more than just a name and logo. It’s a promise. The things that make Inbox different is reflected in our brand promise. It’s a promise of a certain experience that people will have whenever they come into contact with us. A promise we must live and remind each other to live every day.

Inbox Brand MissionInbox is committed to being the premier supplier of organization solutions to the global marketplace by differentiating with inspirational and innovative design, great quality of service together with excellence in product performance to continuously exceed our customers expectations.

As guardians of the Inbox brand, we must all know how to promote its strength so that we can reinforce: our unique business model, our products, the integrity of our people, enduring relationships with our partners and prospective partners, and invest in our company.

Inbox Brand By-lineBrand Architecture

The Inbox brand essence can be summed up in one simple statement that resonates with both the “users” and “choosers” of our brand, and acts as a benchmark for quality and performance of our products and services.

Inbox Corporate LogoThe Inbox corporate logo is the secondary logo which is used for corporate and high level communications like signage, annual reports, and investor relations. Permission to use the corporate logo on unapproved applications must be granted by the Inbox Marketing Department.

This page illustrates the approved Inbox logos, endorsements and written sign off that comprise the brand architecture. The Inbox brand has been created to work at many levels within our architecture: for corporate; product; sub-brand; and our approved range of accessories.

Inbox logoThe Inbox logo is the primary logo used within our visual system and is used for all Inbox products and other communications consumer and business-to-business media such as direct mail, brand advertising, and public relations.

Version 1.1 | pg 4

Inbox Brand Standards: Basic Elements

LOGO

Inbox LogoThe Inbox logo is the primary logo used within our visual system and is used for all products and service communications. The logo is comprised of the Inbox logo-type and the tagline which are equally important. The relationship between the elements has been established and these proportions are fixed as illustrated. They must never be altered or modified in any way. Please refer to page 5 for Inbox brand architecture and logo usage.

With the introduction of the Inbox logo, we will focus on building strong brand equity that can be leveraged across all of our regions. With consistent use of the Inbox logo, our brand will become an asset that increases in value over time.

Inbox Corporate LogoThe corporate logo is the secondary logo and is used for corporate and executive level communications. For corporate uses the logo is used without product tagline. The Inbox corporate logo is made of the custom-crafted Inbox logotype. Please refer to page 5 for brand architecture and logo usage.

When Referred to in TextWhen the Inbox name is written in text (as shown here), always use initial caps, with no word space: Inbox.

Master artwork:Always use master artwork for reproduc- tion. The Inbox logo and corporate logo are available as master artwork from the Inbox Marketing Dept. Please refer to page 5 for master artwork.

Important note: The Inbox logo is used primarily within our visual system for all products and service communications.

Important note: The Inbox corporate logo is the secondary logo which is used for corporate and executive communications.

0.75 inches

The Inbox logo is used in a variety of applications that will be discussed in further detail later in these guidelines. We use a limited number of fixed sizes shown here, to create a visual standard, minimize variation and coordinate printed material sign-off.

Preferred Sizes When possible, the Inbox logos should be used at 1.0 in, 1.25 in, 1.5 in, or 2.0 in. The measured from the left edge of the “i” to the right edge of the letter ‘p’ in ‘tidy up”.

Large Format When a larger Inbox logo is required for display use (i.e., banners), you may enlarge the master artwork to the required size. Remember that logo elements and their relationship must not be altered.

Inbox Corporate LogoThe same principle applies to use of the Inbox corporate logo. However, use of the corporate logo must be authorized by the Inbox Marketing Department.

Master Artwork Use master artwork for reproduction. The Inbox logo and the Inbox corporate logo are available as master artwork from the

Inbox Marketing Dept.

Minimum Size 0.75 inches is the minimum size for the Inbox logo. Below this size, the integrity of the Inbox logo is compromised and the product descriptor becomes illegible.

Version 1.1 | pg 6

Inbox Brand Standards: Basic Elements

Minimum Clear SpaceThe minimum clear space is equal to half the height of the square determined by the Inbox frame, as illustrated on this page. This space should be kept clear of all type and other graphic elements. The same principle applies to the Inbox corporate logo.

The Inbox logo should always stand out from other graphic elements. In order to protect the integrity of the logo and ensure maximum impact, a clear space area has been defined.

LOGO VERSIONS There are three different reproduction versions of the Inbox logo: full-color (preferred), one color halftone and one-color.

Full-Color Logo (Preferred)The full-color Inbox logo (Inbox Ruby and Slate) is the preferred version; it should be used whenever possible. Consistent use of the full-color logo is essential to strengthen brand awareness.

One-Color Halftone LogoWhen it is not practical to use the full-color logo due to printing or cost constraints, use the one color halftone logo. The one-color halftone logo may be reproduced only in Inbox Slate.

One-Color LogoUse the one-color logo when reproduction methods prohibit the use of full-color or one color halftone logo. Use the one-color version for laser-printed documents and reproduction in newsprint. The one-color logo is also used for special finishes, like etching and embossing. All special finishes should be authorized by Inbox Marketing Personnel. The one-color logo may also be reproduced in Inbox gray or reversed.

Master artwork:Always use master artwork for reproduc- tion. The Inbox logo and corporate logo are available as master artwork from the Inbox Marketing Dept. Please refer to page 5 for master artwork.

Spot Colors To ensure color reproduction accuracy, spot colors have been selected. These are specially mixed inks which are matched by the printer to the current edition of the PANTONE® formula guide printer edition coated/uncoated.

Four-Color ProcessWhen printing is restricted to four-color process, use the CMYK percentage break downs indicated here. Colors should be visually matched to the current edition of the PANTONE PROCESS formula guide.

Screen ApplicationsInbox colors used on-screen should match as close as possible to printed Inbox colors Use the RGB breakdown or Hex value indi- cated for screen applications to minimize variation of colors.

Preferred Printing Method A printed color will vary in hue and density according to the surface it is printed on. To overcome these variations, use the preferred printing method of using spot colors. These are specially mixed inks which are visually matched by the printer to the current edition of the PANTONE® formula guide.

Use the spot colors when printing a large area of an Inbox color. This will ensure a vibrant and crisp result. For example, when a large area of Inbox Ruby is printed using four-color process, it does not maintain the same crispness and energy as when printed in special (or spot) color. It is vital that Inbox colors look consistent from piece to piece and medium to medium. To help achieve this, color references are listed for printing offset spot colors (PANTONE), printing process colors (CMYK), and for on-screen applications (RGB and Hex).

There are only two main Inbox brand colors: Ruby red and Slate gray. Inbox colors play a very important role within the Inbox brand identity and help strengthen brand awareness. A white background enhances the vibrancy of our colors.

Important note: materials that are professionally printed, always strive to match colors to the special (or spot) colors listed here, using PANTONE professional reference color chips and formula guides. Never match to the colors as they appear on screen/monitor or color printouts. The colors shown on this page and throughout these guidelines have not been evaluated by Pantone, Inc. for accuracy and may not match the PANTONE Color Standards. Consult current PANTONE Publications for accurate color. PANTONE® is the property of Pantone, Inc.

Version 1.1 | pg 8 Version 1.1 | pg 9Inbox Brand Standards: Basic Elements

BACKGROUND COLOR It is preferred that the full-color and one-color Inbox logo are reproduced on white backgrounds when possible to enhance the vibrancy of our colors and maximize the impact on communications.

Background ImageWhen positioning the Inbox logo over a light background image, use the full-color logo (Inbox Ruby and Slate). Make sure the background is uncluttered and that the logo has ‘room to breath.’

See ‘Full-color over a light background image’ example on this page. The Inbox logo may be reversed white out of a dark image. As mentioned above, look for an area of the image where the background is uncluttered and dark enough for the logo to stand out. See ‘Reversed white out of a dark background image example on this page. Please refer to page 12 for incorrect background uses. The same principle regarding background color control applies to the corporate logo.

Solid Color Background The Inbox logo may also be reversed out of Inbox Ruby, Inbox Slate or a black back- ground. Please refer to page 10 for color specifications and formulas.

Inbox Brand Standards: Introduction Version 1.1 | pg 10

INCORRECT LOGO USAGE

The Inbox logo colors have been 1. transposed.

The Inbox by line placement has 2. been altered.

The lowercase “in” has been 3. replaced with uppercase letters.

The by-line typeface has replaced 4. with Avenir.

The solid “o” has been replaced 5. with an unfilled “o.”

The Inbox logotype and by-line have 6. been turned into outlines.

The Inbox logo has been recreated 7. in Avenir.

The Slate color has been replaced 8. by another Inbox color.

The Inbox by-line has been enlarged 9. to the same size as the logo.

The Inbox logo should always be reproduced from master artwork and never be altered or modified in any way. Changing the Inbox logo weakens its impact and detracts from the consistent image we want to project. Here are some examples of how the Inbox logo should never be reproduced.

Note: This page illustrates some typical incorrect applications of the Inbox logo on various backgrounds. For the correct application of the Inbox logo on a color background, please refer to page 11.

The Inbox logo has been printed on 3. a busy pattern.

The Inbox symbol has been printed 4. in without sufficient contrast.

The one-color Inbox logo has been 5. placed on a busy photograph which affects legibility.

The full-color logo is printed on a 6. photo background, compromising legibility due to the lack of contrast between the colors.

Avenir is the primary Inbox typeface. Due to it’s increased readability, large bodies of running text would also use Avenir. This typeface was chosen for its geometric, contemporary style, as well as its compositional similarities to the primary typeface.

General Style Guidelines For titles and body copy always use initial capitals to start a phrase or sentence. Do not modify default word spacing, letter spacing or tracking.

Memphis is the secondary Inbox typeface. It has been chosen for its flexibility, as well as its ability to appear clear, concise, and straight to the point. Memphis is an essential element of the Inbox brand identity but should be used selectively.

Word Processing All word processing should be typed in the preferred typeface Avenir 55 Roman. If Avenir 55 Roman is not available, use Arial 10 pt. single spaced.
