logo usage guidelines Examples of correct and incorrect usage SIGNATURE

Correct:

Incorrect:

The combination of the logo and logotype creates the corporate signature. There are three acceptable signature arrangements that have been developed for The Group, Inc. Each arrangement has been carefully designed and artwork for each arrangement is available from The Group. The signatures can be enlarged or reduced photo mechanically. DO NOT separate the logo from the logotype, rearrange the logo-to-logotype arrangement, or recreate the signature relationship. Incorrect use of The Group, Inc. signature may be cause for withholding or refusing payment.

REVERSE/NEGATIVE

Incorrect Black & White Usage:

Separate artwork has been developed for reproducing the logo or signature in reverse form. Artwork for the reverse signature application is also available from The Group. DO NOT reverse the signature that has been developed for positive application. All logos provided are transparent. A box should never be around or behind the logo, unless it is a design treatment.

COLOR

Correct:

Incorrect:

There are three acceptable color treatments for The Group, Inc. signature. a. Three-color trademark with blue logotype. The correct colors for the three-color trademark are Pantone 293 (blue) for the upper left portion; Pantone Green for the lower left portion and Pantone 266 (purple) for the entire right side of the trademark. The “G” portion of the trademark remains white. The three color trademark can be used on a white paper stock or a LIGHT, neutral gray. b. The signature may be reproduced in all black. c. The signature may appear in all PMS 293 (blue). When using a colored paper stock, the entire signature must appear in black, or in all Pantone 293 (blue).
