3 INTRODUCTION This document is designed to help AMD s partners and customers market the benefits of AMD Radeon graphics products and related technologies brand. Here, you will find guidelines regarding usage of all brand assets: product badges, technology badges, nomenclature and messages that convey appropriate product features and benefits AMD GRAPHICS PRODUCTS BRAND GUIDELINES 3

4 ROLE OF THE BRAND AMD visual identity elements begin with, and in many cases flow from, our corporate logo. The AMD logo and arrows, in turn, echo the AMD brand and help communicate the AMD brand experience to the audience. The AMD corporate logo is naturally the primary branding element, and should be present on all products, programs, event items, and other materials. The AMD corporate brand and logo will serve as an umbrella, with sub-brands benefiting from a halo effect. Role of the product brand and sub-brand badge The role of a product brand and sub-brand badge is vital, yet simple: > Help customers both consumer and commercial navigate our product lines throughout their purchase cycle > Communicate the AMD value proposition clearly > Ensure that customers understand AMD s differentiation, and enable partners to differentiate AMD-based products positively > Consistently and efficiently amplify the AMD brand Evolved product brands and badges AMD s new product and sub-brand badge represent more than just a simple update. They demonstrate a significant advancement and evolution for AMD. This new approach enables AMD to have uniform and consistent branding: > Across all product and segments > Over time, building equity in our branded assets > That drives greater ROI for AMD and our industry partners Example of AMD Product Badge: Bold, strong AMD logo Arrow breaking out of the box to demonstrate momentum of the brand Alpha numeric system is simplified and more logical Intentional use of different colors and patterns to reinforce product tier segmentation Language descriptions such as Elite and Essential help customers understand tiers 2013 AMD GRAPHICS PRODUCTS BRAND GUIDELINES 4

5 EVOLUTION OF THE BRAND Celebrating AMD product brands Our redesigned product badges embrace our legacy of silicon innovation making high performance available to all. Our customers, both commercial and consumer, have confirmed that: > The new designs are refreshing and express a high-tech look and feel > Graphical elements are dynamic and contemporary > Shapes are innovative and dynamic > The red color communicates vitality > AMD and individual products stand out, showing clear differentiation Key communications Our product and sub-brand badges aim to communicate that AMD products are > Empowering people to push the boundaries of what is possible > Powering millions of PCs, gaming systems, digital devices and cloud servers > Easy to understand > Accelerating and enhancing applications > Delivering outstanding value Customer perspectives Just by looking at this, it seems like a better brand. It s catchier, whereas the previous logo is bland. ~ CONSUMER, CHICAGO The new design shows movement. It shows it s a family, and the graphics are superior. It s head and shoulders above the new one compared to the old. ~ COMMERCIAL, CHICAGO The new logos are more fashionable and advanced; they have more sense of science and technology. ~ COMMERCIAL, BEIJING 2013 AMD GRAPHICS PRODUCTS BRAND GUIDELINES 5

In these 50:50 relationships the AMD product badge and the industry partner s logo should share equal visual prominence and be locked up side-by-side using a vertical dividing rule, as shown on this page. Be sure to allow adequate clear space to ensure proper separation from other logos, copy, visual graphics and the edges of the piece. If the industry partner has guidelines for proper use of its logo, clear space, placement, etc., it is important to adhere to them as closely as possible while also ensuring an appropriate visual balance between the industry partner s logo and the AMD graphics product badge. expelen imaximus ate et quatus, nistio temolli buscit laceriorem nsecessitem quat.
